I knew the game is just a gimmick, read this if you want:
"I haven't picked up a Call of Duty game since the original Black Ops. I figured I would give this one a try, so here is my quick little review.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is nothing new, nothing special, and won't blow your mind. Though, I guess this is what we have come to expect from a Call of Duty game. It's the same formula that has been used since the 4th installment, so if that's what you like, then this may be the game for you.
[STORY] I'd like to talk a little about the campaign, then I'll get into multiplayer. The single player lasts about 5 to 6 hours. 30 minutes of this consists of loading. The game forces you to watch the whole cutscene, while only loading the game halfway, then loading the rest after. If you decide to change your graphics settings in game, you have to rewatch the cutscene and wait for it to load again. Once you find your optimal settings, this isn't much of an issue, but still irrtating.
The story itself is bland and predictable, there aren't any memorable characters, and it feels like the game is just trying to rush you through the story so you can hurry up and get to the multiplayer. There isn't any switching between players in this one. You play as the same guy throughout the whole story. The aspect of early Call of Duty games where the story follows multiple characters is one I miss tremendously.
Once again the missions are very short, play out as turkey shoots, and anti-climactic. Don't expect any massive battles or epic sequences in this installment. Just save your money and watch a let's-play on YouTube.
But we know you aren't in it just for the single-player..
[MULTIPLAYER] Same stuff, different maps and weapons. Oh, and boost jumping.
If you love running in circles, getting shot in the back, and smashing the "F" key repeatedly, then get this game. As I mentioned before, it's the same game. Go grab Titanfall for $10 and play the mode without mechs.
The new feature for Advanced Warfare is the Exo-suit abilities. Some are kind of neat, some are gimmicky. It does give a bit more variety to how you'd like to play, but I typically find them quite useless. There are also tons of player customization option. Does anyone actually look at that stuff in game?
Guns.. The guns are awful. The sounds of the guns are awful. All the weapons seem impractical and weak. The shotguns are neat, but that's about it. Oh, and again with the sounds. They just don't sound like there is any power to them. I feel like I'm shooting a little bb gun.
The maps are your typical Call of Duty maps, but some change slightly. Though it might as well just be another map, because the change is pointless. One of the maps is a volcano, and it makes it seem like you need to hurry and get through the blast doors or it's game over. But you just die and spawn on the other half of the map anyway. It's another gimmick. That's what Call of Duty is good at. Gimmicks.
I can't recommend Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, at least not for the price they are asking. There are plenty of other games to play, so please save your money. If I missed anything, or if you have questions, please feel free to ask me."

"The game forces you to watch the whole cutscene"
If this is true, not getting it anymore. I can't stand games like that, especially since I can't play the online multiplayer.

| I doubt OP even has the game. This entire statement is simply opinion. I don't care about any of the listed stuff, I get CoD for the local multiplayer. |
