Advanced Warfare?

Thinking about getting this game.....anyone have some intel?

I like it. Good story. Great graphics (PS4). Plays pretty damn smooth. I like the movement. A lot of people hate the gliding and whatnot in multiplayer, I don't mind it.

It plays like a CoD game, but at the same time, it's nothing like the CoD games before Black Ops. They've fully gone to the futuristic style of combat. Gone are the days of just having a soldier as we know them in the real world. Now you're a sci-fi soldier. A fun game, but I do miss the basic run-n-shoot idea that was CoD. Before the mech suits, hover crafts, and the other bells and whistles.

IMO, the best way to enjoy this game is to not try to compare it to anything. Just play the damn game. If you like it, keep it. If not, trade it in towards something else. A lot of people end up hating it because they say they've ripped off Halo/Destiny, or that they've simply tried incorporating concepts from those games into this one. Screw all that over-analyzing crap. Just play the game and determine whether or not you enjoy it. It's what I'm doing, and I'm having a good time with it.

It's the most fun I've had playing COD since Black Ops 2.

Is this about actually invading a country with the right equipment and not equipment designed for the rear?

I will buy AW this weekend for PC.  Let me know if you have a Steam account.

Best COD in a while IMO.  There's a bit of a learning curve with all the new EXO stuff, but all in all, it's COD at heart.  I really dig the whole armory idea, where you get new weapons and gear from supply drops or doing certain challenges in game.

You talking about soldiers armed with dildo guns?

I to was a little confused.

Bought it and I'm glad that I did. You feel robbed on some deaths though.

rear is a military term referring to being in the US rather than a combat zone.

 

(think humvees early on in iraq... vinyl doors, no armor at all)

The game along with Destiny is for sale tomorrow for only $29. If you are able to get to a Microsoft store and be one of the first 50, then it's only $19.99.

It is. I disliked some of the prior ones so I was not going to get it but finally gave in.

 

It's the most playable from a multiplayer standpoint and they fixed maybe of the silly glitches. And no quick-scope snipers.

Off topic, but up armored humvees sucked too. The whole line of thinking behind using that vehicle in ied rich environments was dumb. The MRAP is a beast tho.

Well at first IEDs weren't stupid huge and powerful like they were towards the end. The M1114 (I think that was the first uparmored HMMWV) might get its tires blown apart and a door might come off the hinges. Then the EFPs started, then came those huge explosions that would send a Stryker a quarter mile in the air and blow shrapnel for a half mile radius. MRAPs are safer against the initial blast, but secondary effects (like getting bounced around inside the vehicle) and tertiary effects (the vehicle rolling over) were very deadly. As a medic, I never needed a back board or a C-collar until the MRAP came along.
