I think the game is utter trash. This game will be just like Ghost for me where I barely get to first prestige. The jumping ability ruins it completely. The developers only put it in there to save the COD series by adding a new element, and because it's a new element in such a repetitive series, people think it's good, which I don't blame them. But the exo suits are just awful. COMPLETELY ruin the flow of the map. Cross the whole entire map in 5 seconds make the walls of any map useless and learning the spawn system even more useless. The classic playlists don't even fit the map style. The maps are made for jumping, simple. Take jumping out of the factor and the maps become awful. I'm a rushing player, and this game is the furthest from rushing I've ever seen. The fact that people say it's a rushing game makes me cringe every time. It's simply not. The exo suits give an illusion of a rushing game by fast paced gameplay. Well, the only way ANYONE can do well is by camping. If you rush, you are exposed from 360 degrees around you at ALL times. The exo abilities completely take out the fun and strategy of rushing because as soon as you kill someone, they'll be in range to kill you within 5 seconds, on top of there already being enemies around you at all times in all directions. No flow, not anything. The AR's are ridiculously over powered, again. I don't see why this is such a hard concept. People jumping around everywhere and under powered SMG's make that whole entire category useless. You can take my word for it, or go look in public matches where everyone uses the BAL or AK12 killing across the map in a few shots. I had a 1.88 KD in B02, around a 2.2 in MW3, and a 1.5 on AW, so I'm not some "sucky" player complaining because I can't do well, I can, but do not have a fun time doing so. I will of course play this game more (not much) just because it is the new COD, and it is nice to change things up, but it has already gotten old, and I do not see myself playing it much more til I completely drop it.

How to tell if this thread is full of COD fanboys:

Look at the comments that are false accusations, then look at the likes.


COD sucks, except for WaW and BO2
AW is "okay."

I really enjoy Advanced Warfare. Not sure I would classify it as the best quite yet, but it is nowhere near the worst. I think the exo suits do add a level of skill to the game. At first, you just needed to be able to put shots into a stationary or running target. Now, let's see people be just as accurate with a more mobile target. I love being that mobile and having those types of gun fights. It just feels so much more rewarding to me when I get kills and whatnot. Also, I love that exo-launcher. I can put grenades near or on people (semtex) across long distances.

Also, not sure about some of those arguments you have. I don't feel it is quicker at all to die. I get many hitmarkers and stay alive a lot longer than in Ghosts. It is more like Black Ops 2 in my opinion. I am kind of glad scorestreaks take a bit to get. They shouldn't run the game. MW2's killstreaks were bad about that. Loved the maps and guns on that game, but the other stuff just shouldn't have been the way they were. The only gun I seem to have an issue with is the M14. It just doesn't seem to hang with the other guns. Maybe I am just bad with it. Who knows?
