Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is shaping up to breathe life into the single player aspect of the Call of Duty franchise. Here are three reasons why.
Former director at Activision, Bret Robbins, revealed that Advanced Warfare 2 had a working prototype, but it was eventually shelved for COD WWII.
That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.
I still prefer CoD based on historical settings or in near future settings(like CoD: Ghost) ... even though I liked infinite Warfare's campaign ... it was top notch
A lot of people who never played a shooter prior to like 2012 get really mad about anything that isn't a modern combat game.
Game Rant Writes "With rumors swirling about a sequel to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Sledgehammer Games can bring back a few weapons for a modern encore."
GR: "If one series truly defined the seventh generation of consoles it was Call of Duty. Sadly, the series has struggled to reach the same heights on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and only Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare feels like the previous era of innovation and top-notch storytelling."
I quite enjoyed it but I think black ops 3 was the high point.
Modern warfare could be if a few tweaks are made and the new maps are good.
Story wise.. black opps 3 was all over the place. Modern Warfare story is so much more cohesive and actually makes sense.
I quit that campaign after about an hour. All I remember is some crappy robot drone combat R2D2 thing that you had to use. I didn't make it past that.
For me the Black Ops installations have always been the high peaks in terms of PVP mode. Black ops 3 campaign was pretty bad though. Advanced Warfare's campaign was pretty good, one of the best ones - but PVP was bad!
The campaign was OK, but the guns sounded like cap guns and the multiplayer maps were not memorable at all.
3 Ways it Won't
#1 MP is more popular than SP
#2 SP isn't even touched by some a lot of people
#3 Generic Story
everyone trying to be more like naughty dog now.
Endangered narratives...
Uh, have you been in a closet or something because
A) we have tons of games with amazing narratives: Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Deus Ex, Red Dead Redemption, Tales of Xillia...just to name a few
B)Call of Duty is THE WORST offender of any type of narrative. Horrible and repeated stale plots with huge plot holes every other level, one character archetype with no character development. Kevin Spacey is not enough to make a story good, sure he's a great actor but if the writing is bad (which from trailers it's typical generic story with bad writing) than Kevin Spacey could give an Emmy winning performance but the story will still be bad,
C) Not to mention the fact that hardly anyone play COD for the story, it's multiplayer focused and will always be. The "new mechanics" are nothing new to gaming or do they provide anything to the story. In all the demos you have super arms but can only use the strength when promoted.
