Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

[PaulH]

It's a bit of a shame as I (totally unbiased-ly, of course) think we did a decent job with the Crysis 3 multiplayer, we just had neither the team size, budget, technical foundation or player base to convert what we made into much of a success, past the initial favorable review stage anyway. Now to see a much larger franchise like this take so much 'inspiration' from what we did (along with other games) is a little disheartening (they've even taken the orbital strike kill streak from C3 according to that video).

 

Then again though, as Puddy said, there's not a lot out there that's totally original anymore, and everyone borrows from somewhere. Also I do actually love playing COD multiplayer and I like the fact that they are trying to freshen things up, regardless of where they got their ideas from. So basically, I'm conflicted. In time though I will get over it and I'm sure this will be another COD that I end up playing for the majority of the next year until the next iteration.

/! cry baby of the week /!

 

Didn't Crysis play a lot like CoD too? If anything I'd take it as a compliment that the main shooter franchise in the world is borrowing ideas from a game you worked on. Just because someone is the first to realize an idea doesn't mean that they own the idea...

[PaulH]

If you think I'm being a "cry baby" you may have misinterpreted what I said, though it is late and maybe I didn't word it well. I wasn't saying that we owned anything that was in c3, I acknowledged that most ideas are borrowed anyway. I was just saying that AW looks similar and looks like the game that I wish c3 could have been, in terms of popularity. I think it's a fair comment

Do you think it's that? Frankly at this point I don't think all this matters. CoD has critical mass, you can throw all the money you want at a "cod-killer" and you won't make a real dent in its audience.

This is my impression: only COD can kill itself.

Of course, they have ironsights!

Yeah definitely. That's what I was getting at by referring to the player base  

[dux]

lol wow at that pre order bullshit at the end.

 

Get fucked.

My dislike for COD aside, that 7 minute gameplay trailer did nothing for me. Was bored 2 minutes in and stopped it.

[ShockaPop]

meh..   

[Taylor Swift]

i never liked call of duty series. never

[Izuno]

Rewatched this a few times...

 

 

I mean...it'll be another CoD campaign/story so how amazing can it be? I'm assuming roughly 5 hours long.  I must say it does feel a bit like Black Ops 2 which I admit I enjoyed.  Right now I'm feeling more positive about the SP compared to Ghosts which felt uninspired.

 

eh...giving it a chance at least.

[-HP-]

Bring it, i'll play this.

After seeing the MS press conference, I have the impression that the exosuit jump is not as fluid as it should and appeared to be from the first trailer.

I have a feeling this game is a recycled version of old call of duty.

 

we have no original games anymore. everything is recycled

[Puddy]

I think you are alone on this one.
