Call of Duty Advanced Warfare's boosters changed maps

4.7
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's boost jumping mechanic meant some familiar multiplayer map design needed substantial rethinking.

Sledgehammer Games co-founder and chief creative officer Glen Schofield told Digital Spy that the single-player and multiplayer teams collaborated on the game all through its three-year development.


That meant interesting ideas from one mode could be implemented in another. It also meant big changes from the other side could uproot some established parts across the aisle.

"[Maps] took two years because first, you get to design them the way you know, then you're playing and playing constantly [to make sure they're balanced]," Schofield said.

"Then as the boost jump started to solidify more, then it's like, 'Oh, they can get on the roof.' You just can't go back and add that. You got to design. We ripped parts of the level out and rebuilt it."

Sledgehammer had the time to go back and make those changes because of the series' new three-year development cycle, Schofield said. The game will launch with 13 maps, not counting the Atlas Gorge map available with the Collector's Edition or season pass at launch.

The single-player campaign's expanded narrative will also reflect the extended development schedule.

The Call of Duty Advanced Warfare release date is November 4 on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

They should still allow you to get on top of some buildings. You know, for them trickshotters? haha a

I am not surprised that they have to do a complete overhaul on the maps as not only would players be able to get on the tops of buildings, I assume there would be the ability to get outside and under the map as well as wall breach into various buildings and other objects. I look forward to the new mechanics of the game as well as the maps as I think they will freshen up the gameplay and make it more enjoyable.

Doesn't even look like CoD, but maybe that's a good thing? I dunno, I feel like it's going to be just as big a let down as CoD is every year. I'll still get it but I doubt I'll enjoy it.

adeptskills Call of duty is on a big fail streak. Hopefully they can fix theirselves


You havent even played this, how would you know? Im my eyes this is going to be one of the best Call Of Duty games they have brought out, besides WaW and CoD4

Of course the boosters will change the maps. Double jumps on current COD maps would not implement the double jump feature.

Kurumu Really not sure if I want to slap my pre-order on this or not. Every year it seems that COD attempts to claim the same crap. "New maps, advanced ai, new weapons, etc. etc." How about for a change they release a beta and let us test the damn game and give them feedback.

I guess I need to go to a damn convention to test a game before I blow my money on it.



I agree they should have a beta rather than telling youtubers to say how fantastic the game is.
