Can a new developer breathe some much needed life into Call Of Duty?
Strap on your Exo suit and find out in Advanced Warfare…
This is, simply put, a great game, but let me elaborate.
The most powerful tech of this kind belongs to the Atlas PMC.
Atlas soldiers have the very best tech and weapons, and youre its newest recruit.
Guns are still guns, for the most part, and the Exo technology actually looks quite plausible.
One that fuses well with the stapleCall Of Dutyformula and buttery gunplay mechanics.
These skills are useful, and powerful in the right hands, but are never overpowered.
And, like all Exo abilities, it has limited battery power, so has to be used sparingly.
The same can be said of the new weapons.
A very impressive new addition lies with the grenades.
There are a large number of them here, with my personal favourite being the new threat grenade.
This is great in the campaign, but even works in multiplayer.
There are also multifunction grenades that can be switched during combat, giving you a wider range of possibilities.
Whats more, the actual artistic style of the game is excellent.
The world presented here is futuristic, but like the weapon and gadget technology, also believable.
The attention to detail is superb.
There are also little aesthetics that look great, but are also functional in terms of gameplay.
The presentation carries over to the story, which is actually a very good and interesting campaign this time.
In fact, this is undoubtedly the bestCall Of Dutymultiplayer Ive played in years, and thats no exaggeration.
Underneath this is the classic, fast-pacedCall Of Dutygameplay that focuses on small scale, man-to-man battles.
Its not terrible, and with a friend it can be fun, but its no covert ops.
