Game review: Advanced warfare.
11 years ago
General
Iv been playing advanced warfare for a few days. I now feel comfortable in giving it my honest review and personal thoughts.
Now advanced warfare is not you're tipical COD. It is a far leap from any other COD. The exo suits really do add some chaos to the mix. iv learned really quickly that the exos are key to being succsesfull. There is a playlist in PvP for non exo;'s, but I found it less fun and frustrating. But il touch that a little later. First, the story mode.
Story mode: Out of all the stories iv played in COD, this one takes the cake. Its not much diffrent then any other COD. But the graphics and sound is just breath taking. Even on a old out dated system (Xbox 360) And its not to challenging. Im playing it on Vetran and im not having to many issues. The exo suits really come in handy. Specally when you're enimies get grenade happy. The weapons and gaame play feel normal. Nothing supper special. The car door shield is a nice touch though. I haven't beaten it yet because iv been in multiplayer. But I can ensure you that its a great campaign. Is it worth it? I say yes.
The multiplayer is vastly diffrent then what you may be used to. Exo suits and double jumping really do change the way you play. Try playing AW like normal and you will never win. Adapt to the new abiliteis and you will vastly improve.
Multiplayer: It is diffrent, but it is fun! I have a blast running and jumping everywhere. I actualy can't play regular non exo playlists because of the no double jump and dodge. It feels unfun and boring. You can deffinetly tell that the maps are made for the exos. Another reason why non exo playlist sucks. So far I like the multiplayer. Its fun and entertaining. It does have its flaws tho.
MP Flaws: Hackers. There still there, and just as annoying. Wall glitches. Are being fixed, but there are still a few. Quick scoping. Can't do much about it, but its still stupid and shouldn't be possable. Over powered weapon. And I mean A weapon. There is only 1 weapon that I find OP. Thats the EM-1. The heavy laser weapon. If it so much as nicks you, you're dead. And it has such a long time before it over heats that its not funny. It needs to be patched, asap. The Bal-27 is a bit OP to, Seems like it has NO recoil. At all. Could be me, but it loos fishy.
And finally, Head shots. How the hell did the F**K UP HEAD SHOTS? At full health it takes 4 head shots to kill one person. Thats outragious. The guide says that each headshot is 2 bullets in one. Which counts as 8 body shots. What. The. F**k. Thats a little to much. So they need to fix the head shots and time to kill. Ghosts had a 3 hit TTK. BO2 had a 4-5 hit TTK. Why does AW have a 8 hit TTK? So yeah it has its issues. But SHG is doing pretty good with patches, so theres hope. Is the MP worth t? Il say hell yea. I love it even with some flaws.
The co-op mode: is... well... not great. You really do need a full team to play it. If you;re solo, you're screwed. Its unplayable by you're self. And it waasn't really that fun. It felt like MW3 all over again but with new streaks and guns. Almost felt like a cop out. Worth it? No.
In January the first DLC drops. With it comes exo zombies. Now that might be worth it. Question is, Is it a free thing? OR do you need the DLC pack? If its not a free update then thats really stupid.
All in all its a fun game for both single player and competitve MP. But isn't that great if you only want it for co-op. Is it worth $60? Yea, I think so. With a few bug fixs and patches I think it will be a great game. Is the Season pass worth it? I don't know. First DLC bring zombies, new maps and a assault rifle energy weapon. I suggest waiting on the SP untill you decide if you like the game.
I rate AW a 7.5 out of 10. The stroy and MP are fun and pretty well done. But its TTK and heat shots really knock it down. And the cop out c0-op leaves something to be desired.
