Shame his career was ended over some nonsensical allegation that had no substance.. House Of Card's was quite amazing too, up until his fucking wife became the protagonist and what not.. And his previous work was gold 😔
I know right 😮 I played it for the first time like I would say 4 years ago, I was not interested in mw 2019 and was in a buying previous cod streak and couldn’t stop and visually it was one of the most impressive campaigns I played without talking about ww2 and ghost campaign (yes I loved ghost campaign )
Act man: general Shepard, take it away General Shepard: " 5 years ago my soldiers were using earbuds with poor sound quality, and the world just fucking listened"
The zombies for AW is extremely underrated and actually presented the first blueprints for Cold War’s Zombies style. There was a lot of innovation, new power ups, great bosses and awesome random drops like a Titanfall style mech you could get in. Decent is one of the best maps I’ve ever played and I am a huge Zombies fan since the World at War days. If you haven’t played AW Zombies, please give it a try because it’s really fun and you will find a lot of enjoyment from the experience.
It's very good but I feel half the guns suck in that mode or the zombies are way to powerful past round 7. Also, the map design for Outbreak leaves a lot to be desired
"There are 3 things I remember about Advanced Warfare. Kevin Spacey, it was the first futuriatic COD game, and F. F in the chat." Lowkey one of your best lines on thia channel.
If they had just switch the characters of Mitchell and Will, this story would have been so much better. You join the military with your best friend Mitchell, and he gets killed. You then go to his funeral with your dad, Irons. You then get a new arm and start fighting for your Dad's army. you then find out that your dad inevitably led to your friends death by sparking conflicts just so he could become powerful. This gives you a hatred for your dad. Eventually killing him an avenging your friend. The fact that it's your dad you have to kill makes it so much more emotional.
I think that would be a nice idea but I still love the actual story of Advanced Warfare to be honest. I just love Mitchell as a character. I also think the whole story revolving around the Atlas Corporation is also pretty well-done too.
I don't really play campaign, so half of this video does not count for me. I like the exo movement, the supply drop system, the increased customization, etc.
Why not? I’m not judging you but sometimes the campaign is the best part of the game. The original games up to MW1, Infinite Warfare, and BO2 are perfect examples of this.
I find it interesting to see the contrast between your best friend dying in this game, and Sarah dying in The Last of Us. We knew Sarah for probably half the time we knew Will, and yet her death is heart wrenching, wearas I am pretty sure I actually yawned at Will's
Something id like to point out is how creative the designs are. The exosuits look cool and the weird face masks for the marines in the first mission look great. The walking tanks have such a great design and sound. The drone swarm in the first mission moves really cool. The gun designs (though some are pulled from previous games) are creative and interesting. The grenades are super cool and creative. I have nothing but respect for the art team for AW. (Also a small detail you probably missed: in the funeral, you can see that the USMC insignia is different. It has the earth and an eagle biting an anchor in front of it instead of the usual eagle on top of earth and the anchor behind the planet.)
Campaign was one of my favorite campaigns. When Kevin spacey said ”Ideas don’t determine who’s right. Power determines who’s right. And I have the power. So I’m right.” That sent goosebumps on my skin.
seriously - when people find simple philosophical ideas like this and present them as "omg this changed my life i can't believe i never thought this way before" it's like nails on a chalk board. how braindead were Y2J_Johan and his 89 dumb chums to consider this "enlightened"? it's baffling... the average intelligence and awareness of the world is always far lower than even our most pessimistic assumptions 🤷♂@@georgewhitworth9742
I actually really loved the multiplayer it was good and fast paced, not many people camping due to the movement, and if you mastered the exo suit it was amazing to jump around and gun anyone down
the exo also killed it for people i know i guy of threw away advanced warfare when he figured out being good with guns was enough, you had to be good with the exos
@@markfreeman4727 no I get where ur coming from, i personally adore advanced movement. Wall runs, double jumps and all that fun stuff mixed with some cool guns? Gimme that any day. Boots on the ground is nice and all but there's just something about being able to slide 50 feet then double jump into a 2nd story window that's just satisfying. Once u got the movement down and learn to use it in conjunction with the guns it's chaotic and just straight up fun
@@thunderbutt357XD ya, Advanced and the other sci-fi CODS had great potential and idea, but the baby was thrown out with the bath water cause 'ItS NoT BoOtS On ThE GrOuNd!!'
@@mmm.3839 Lmfao it does feel dated holding a phone with a home button I've gotten so used to my S8+ which has a touch home button but also simulates a physical one by pushing on the spot harder it's out of sight yet is separate from touch controls in case the screen itself freezes or something. I can't picture needing an actual button with this innovation.
Fans: We want something different, we get the same game every year. COD: Here's advanced warfare with a bunch of new different features. Fans: WTF WHY IS THIS GAME SO DIFFERENT!!!!!!! I loved advanced warfare it was a nice change of pace. Where they went wrong was having the next 3 games also having futuristic themes and movements. There are 3 studios making COD games, if each studio did a different theme we would have a good variety in the annual releases. One studio could make WW2/Vietnam/etc, another studio could make modern warfare games, and another studio make futuristic style games. This would mean each year we get something new and fresh.
Darth Tony I couldn't said it better. People like the game in the past but when the other 2 or 3 futuristic games come out people just forgot how fun AW was.
The one thing I couldn't stop admiring about advanced warfare was the attention to detail in audio design. I fucking LOVED the sound of crackling pieces of glass under your boot, the "micro crackling" sound the guns make when swapping, the sound of his bionic arm when it recalibrates. Advanced warfare dominated sound design until the modern warfare reboot.
The guns sounded a lot better too. Really futuristic. Lethal but slick is how i can only really describe it. Like ghosts was good for that too, those guns sounded meaty and crisp.
Yeah AW has a hard on for crackling glass sound. I think 90% of the campaign you hear it lol. But it is pretty good. Also love the sound the exos make when using melee
I personally have always loved how chaotic the jetpacks were in aw they're less limited in your movement and actually get to use the advanced movement when you need it and it was fast clunky but fast and that was always what made it good for me
@@kielmessersmith1956 is it the Grey one with the gold sentinel logo ?? I have that one as well .. and all the dog tags they sold back when cod was great
Advanced Warfare was and, still pretty much is my favorite of the series. At least in AW if you get shot you have the ability to defend yourself. Where as in other CoD games the difference between life and death is whether you see them first or not. And this is an astronomical hot take, but I actually liked the legendary weapon variants. I remember getting a legendary LMG and it was so nice to use I dedicated myself to getting diamond on heavy weapons. It's just too bad the game was dead after 3 months
You honestly summed my feelings up on Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare perfectly. Though I actually enjoyed playing through all three they end up getting ranked low because they’re separated from the series. One offs where I’m not as invested in the characters.
Imagine if the first few missions you played as Irons in his youth fighting in a much earlier war, seeing all his friends die around him, and he uses that as his motivation to build Atlas so that kind of thing doesn't have to happen again, and over the course of the campaign you find out how his ideals were twisted by the reality of the world until he turns into the evil Tony Stark that we got.
Imagine if at the point with Ilona where you find the video recording, it turned into a BO2-style branching storyline, where you could choose to stay with Ilona and join Cormack in Sentinel or stay with Irons and Gideon. That would have made the story 5x better
"What joy do you get in pressing a button and seeing your character's hand touch a coffin? What part of that is advance?" It's advanced enough for my college professor to start telling us to press F in his zoom chat whenever he makes a mistake.
I read a comment that sums up defending pressing f. YOU the player are actively paying respect to soldiers. It wouldn’t have been as impactful if you just sat there watching Mitchell paying his respects. Instead YOU are the one paying YOUR respects to the fallen.
I really did enjoy the multi-player and campaign but more so the multi-player. It was different and I actually thought it worked. I honestly have such a weird love hate relationship with the customization in advanced warfare because I loved all the cool and wacky stuff but at the same time I couldn't stand it and I think it's because I was like 13 at the time and it was the first call of duty I really was able to sit down and play whenever I wanted to and just hop online and go for camos and what not. Looking back at this game if it came out today I'd hate it and I would have never played it lol but it's got a weird nostalgic feeling for me that makes me love it.
One thing I’ve noticed about call of duty games is that despite them being rated M for a “mature” audience, people in those age ranges would not be as entertained by the storylines of the futuristic games as opposed to the titles based on real historical events, like the Black Ops series (excluding BOIII and so on). However, when I played AW in high school, I was much younger than 17 (which is majority audience for this franchise) and I actually was thrilled by the storylines because I wasn’t too aware of what bad writing was as a young kid. Nowadays when watching these reviews, I can almost see a huge difference In perspective as I age in life. Long story short, I think these games can be more enjoyable when playing them at a younger age and having less knowledge of how cinema works properly.
I also notice that too, people who hold onto games like these were 12,13,14 when they played them, and that creates a bias, as an adult I can look at every one of these cod games for what they actually are, and AW is worse than bo2 bo1 MW etc, but worse doesn’t mean bad and people get upset especially the ones who glaze a certain cod bc they sat there at a young age and were able to simply play it 24/7 when it was the new cod when you say that about these cods but that’s the harsh reality. You can love a game and stills admit it’s sub par to their counter parts older or newer.
I can tell you why he didn't scream. When he was thrown off, his head hit the concrete. And just like the Joker says, "The victim gets all fuzzy. They can't feel the next--"
you ever realize that when a game, movie, book (for nerds) etc. runs out of ideas for names and they need to name a futuristic corporation, they name it atlas? I feel like the first game that did that was Borderlands unless im an idiot but seriously, there are so many of em
“Press F to pay respects” is so brilliantly funny that I refuse to believe the guy who made the decision to input that exact guide with that exact phrasing was not intending it to be a meme.
Haha, also, why is it that this game is so forgettable, that I rarely ever hear about people who talk about this game being ba. Whenever I hear people talk about bad COD games, they don't really mention this one.
this is still my favorite cod to this day, mostly because it was the first cod i ever played when i got my first xbox, i didn't have Live so i had to play with bots, but it was still a lot of fun to me
I had MW2 and 3 but didn’t play anything besides the campaign cause I didn’t have live and same with AW I just replayed the campaign over and over again. Top tier cod for me but it depends on nostalgia to it I guess
@@tamizhaa2012 bro i woulda paid for your xbox live, being online multiper play in either mw1 ,2 and BO 1,2 were the golden age of gaming. Im playing mw2019 and it just doesnt hit the same as back in the day.
@@destructoidx99 I was able to play online sometimes like when Microsoft would give gold out for free for like 2 weeks every couple months😂 I was young but still have some of the best memories ever on the older cods even though I couldn’t play online very much
Prior to this game's release, I remember COD being constantly bashed for doing the same shit over and over. Gotta at least give this game props for trying something new.
I feel like there was a missed opportunity where Mitchell could've said to Irons "I will never give you one." As a response to Irons saying that he gave you a second chance with the arm replacement. It would've been so satisfying and pure savagery. Sadly though your character didn't talk except in cutscenes in AW.
Honestly, a lot of the dialogue could be improved from what it is to turn it into something really good. I always wondered if maybe Irons talked to will about his Grand Plan and how Will would've reacted. Then I wondered if maybe the real reason Will joined the Marines was to prove him wrong. And you could have that one line of dialogue where Will says "I wanted to serve my country, not my old man." and use it to hint at that and be used as foreshadowing for later events. Maybe something like "He's less than half the man you think he is." or maybe something that shows the difference in ideology between the two, like "He doesn't care about anything but the Big Picture. Not you, not me, not any of the people down here on the ground. I do."
I'll be honest, Irons offering Mitchell the business card at the funeral does add to his character, not caring about loss, but caring about how much war can be waged
@@davemac9563 yeah, maybe you don't agree with my assessment, but to improve Irons as a character (and the game as a whole) the game should have: Not made Atlas the bad guy. The story just ends up being "US being invaded and you've been betrayed, now fight for the US Army!". I think the US Goverment should have targeted Atlas for a PMC that rivalled the US Army, and after a few incidents of civilians accidentally getting caught in the crossfire, the US Government declares war on Atlas. I think throughout the story both sides need to be shown to have bad elements, so it isn't just good blue versus red bad. I think manticore should have stayed the same, except the "recipe" for it is stolen by US spies, and they fuck it up so it just turns into a deadly gas for all of humanity, instead of being used to target specific people. In short, I wished Atlas were largely good, the US government targeting them for rivaling their power on the world stage, and there were scenes of both sides fucking up like accidentally firing on a civilian target, killing POWs, etc.
Future cod game can work Things needed No connection to black ops or modern warfare In space Robot and boss fight Epic music playing when your shooting just like doom No lootbox Since the gameplay is futuristic The level design needs to be futuristic Zombie game mode need to be in 80s The main menu need to be a place where you can play arcade or just run in to campaign zombies or battle royale just like doom eternal campaign No doubt jump Waking on Wall is needed Flying things is need Hacking human or robots is need No dog models
What I remember most from this game is getting that badass titanfall suit as a killstreak and then decking it out with missiles and cannons and stuff. Felt awesome smacking people around with it. Too bad it felt kind of fragile for an armored suit
Exo Zombies is a great mode that happens to suffer from 2 of the worst maps in COD and 2 maps that are decent and good. If the game had much better maps then not as many people would shit on the mode as a whole.
You can tell they wanted to make this into a series, since at the end he says something like "We killed Irons, but we knew our fight with Atlas was just beginning" But then...
I mean as easy as it is to joke about AW, thats not a fair comparison. He dies in MW 3 after, well, three games of build up and getting to know him. Plenty of completely forgettable named, important, characters in MW1 that die as well.
I honestly don't think I've ever cared about a single character in a cod campaign, and I've been playing since 4. I really liked both 4 and WaW's campaigns, but I felt no connection to the characters in the slightest. To me the highlight of any cod campaign ever was after beating WaW's campaign you get thrown straight into Nacht. 15 year old me was absolutely floored, having heard nothing about it prior. I haven't played a few entries in the series after losing interest over time so there are campaigns I haven't played.
@Arbiter We need a WaW remaster, honestly I have not and will not buy a MW remaster. I’ll buy the original. However, WaW? The darkest game of all CoD history? THAT is what I want a remaster of.
Problem I had with this one was ironically the opposite problem as campaign which was too linear approaching a rail shooter, but the techy gadgets like the jetpack complicated multiplayer too much, for a game where you die instantly there’s already too many ways to be jumped on out of nowhere and if you try to counterbalance that with other future tech like shields you would basically end up with halo and probably rather play that (although maybe not with how they’re handling that series now)
True. The lighting and motion blur really helped, as well as bloom 2.0. That and as well as the level detail are the only redeeming features of this game.
Advanced warfare has an incredibly memorable campaign with unique missions and settings that I had never seen before in other games. I still go back and play the campaign over again every 8 months or so. However, I can safely say that I’m never naming my kid Mitchell.
The game didn't have that good of a campaign as it made no sense. Certainly, it was something out of the ordinary for a Call of Duty title, but when looking back on it, the game is simply an Anti-Corporate message. The first issue I have with the campaign is how do all the resources that Humanity depends on still exist in this future? The game takes place between the years of 2054 and 2061, and somehow humanity has grown to this advanced civilization with no border changes, climate change has been solved. In this universe, Electric Vehicles have replaced gas-powered vehicles, yet the world's militaries still have equipment that is dependent on fossil fuels. By the 2050s in this timeline, Earth's natural resources would have been depleted, and the needs of our planet would be greater than she could supply. This in turn would be a recipe for disaster across multiple countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, etc who are all dependent on that of the oil industry. Even worse for this scenario is it even states in the game itself that the fossil fuel industry is still thriving inside many countries, and in fact somehow Atlas managed to rebuild Iraq of all places from the ground up. Even worse for this game is that somehow the United States, the Peoples' Republic of China, the Russian Federation, etc are completely and totally ignored, or make no sense. In the opening of the game, you hear images of North Korea invading South Korea and somehow are able to do it with relative ease. The biggest and foremost question is how does North Korea still exists in this futuristic world. North Korea is not sustainable, and by this point in the future world that the game exists in, either North Korea would have fully collapsed and would have been absorbed into South Korea, or the most likely possibly be absorbed into that of the Peoples Republic of China. Yet the game makes no mention of this or takes it into account, and the opening conflict of the game makes no sense. This can further be attributed to the setting of where Atlas sets up its military headquarters, Baghdad, or "New Baghdad" Iraq. Iraq is one of the most religiously ethnic divided regions on the planet, and the developers only briefly mention that Iraq descended into chaos, and yet somehow Atlas managed to come out on top. Iraq wouldn't just be in Chaos, but the fact that it was a Private American Company rebuilding Iraq would go against many religious principles that are valued by the people in the region. Atlas wouldn't be living in happiness they would be dealing with a full-blown religious insurrection between the various Sunni and Shia Arabs and the Sunni Kurdish people. Adding onto the problems of this game are the villains themselves. First off, who is the KVA? They are only described as Anti-Western Anti-Technology Extremist groups from the Chechen Rebellions. First off, the Chechen Rebellion was instigated due to poor economic conditions and the ethnic nationalism that resulted from the fall of the Soviet Union. Does this mean that the Russian Federation has collapsed and there is an economic crisis going in Russia? If that is the case, then why are the KVA not fighting against the Russian Government? Even furthermore is an economic crisis in Russia would lead to the complete and total collapse of nations such as the Peoples Republic of China and the European Union, and it would instigate another recession, to say the least. Keeping with this pattern the KVA doesn't have a legitimate purpose as to why they are fighting for what they are fighting, and given that the group appears to have sustained amounts of military hardware, which brings up a whole other question as to how they got it and are able to operate independently to cause a World Wide Disaster such as this. The situation is further exacerbated when looking at the ATLAS Corporation. The first and foremost is how does a Private Military Corporation manage to grow larger than governmental bodies and is able to wage a global-wide conflict and profoundly make victories against some of the greatest world powers? In this universe, somehow ATLAS Corporation managed to hire more than 45 Million "Soldiers" and brainwash them to wage a war against their homelands, and Irons managed to hold out in the war for six months and develops his own WMD's in the process and wage a war against the largest powers in the world across all continents. The biggest issue is how does a Private Corporation grows this large without some kind of government intervention? If a company, especially an American one, manages to grow to superpower status and become more powerful than that of the Peoples Republic of China and the United States combined, that would lead to some serious international condemnation, which is never specified in the game, and the level of government corruption needed to create a company larger than that of the East India Company and richer than that of the East India company would be so great, that it would be capable of destabilizing entire countries. Funny enough this kind of corruption is not only mentioned in the game, it is also encouraged by the United Nations Security Council itself, which absolutely makes no sense considering in the United Nations charter, but the UN also cannot have any governing authority. Even worse for this is somehow ATLAS Corporation is able to unite the United Nations against them and mount World War III across all continents. This is highly improbable considering the moment ATLAS Corporation turned on the world, the security forces wouldn't receive payment and Irons would be using his fortune in a global-wide war. Further adding onto this is the game never specified what happened in those six months between the Mission Armada, and the mission Throttle. Six months passed in that timeframe between those two missions, and somehow the Atlas Corporation managed to do considerable damage to all the world's superpowers, and still maintain indigenous production to continue the war effort. In this universe what should have happened is after the San Francisco attack, the United States and their NATO allies would have declared war against Atlas, and then they would have been defeated in less than a month, maybe even a month and a half at most, and it wouldn't have been a global-wide conflict. This is game is further exacerbated by the plot for which the United States appears to be covertly fighting for. Literally, the United States is fighting ATLAS Corporation because somehow a Private Military Corporation is able to manufacture so many WMDs that it is able to wage a successful biological war. The biggest flaw with this is under the terms of the United Nations and the Geneva Convention is the manufacturing of WMDs (Nuclear Weapons, Chemical Weapons, etc.) has been strictly limited to governmental bodies. Corporations, not even Private Military Corporations, can manufacture Chemical Weapons and WMDs. Unless if international law has been completely abolished, which would have been an extremely dumb move, ATLAS would never have been able to acquire this kind of weaponry. Furthermore, the US, Russian, Chinese, British, and European intelligence I would assume would have found out about ATLAS's Weapon known as "Manticore" and it would have been exposed to the world way before the ending of the game, and the international court of justice would have been all over ATLAS. Furthermore, how does MANTICORE even exist? Manticore is described as a Biological Agent that is only designed to target specific genotypes, and anybody inside of ATLAS's Database would have been killed upon exposure. This is physically impossible, as Biological Agents are a series of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. You cannot simply manufacture a biological agent and then corrupt it with Human DNA so it wouldn't kill that particular person. Even if that were possible, Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) and Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) are mobile, changing over time through mutations and environmental influences, and receive over 1000 mutations in their genetic code that are not present in the different cells that surround it. Manticore wouldn't be able to take that into account, and so when Irons launches the Manticore in the mission "Throttle" not only would have the invading United Nations forces been wiped out, but also the ATLAS Mercenaries as well. And speaking of the United Nations, this brings me to my final point, how does the United Nations still exist? The United Nations is one of the most politically divided organizations on the planet. It's divided between multiple different ideologies and forms of government that make it very very ineffective in modern politics, the game never takes that into account. In this universe, especially in the 2050s and 2060s when this game takes place, the United Nations should have been dissolved or at least have been broken up into multiple organizations based on the political divisions of the world. In conclusion, this game is a very poor attempt at a futuristic military shooter. There are simply too many plotholes, too many unanswered questions, too many ignored realities, and simply just poor execution. I would much rather play Call of Duty: Ghosts or Modern Warfare 3 than this game.
@@BuckeyeNationRailroader damn what a read. I guess I agree with everything you said, it’s just not important to me personally if it makes complete sense. I mean, you have to be willing to stretch the imagination when everyone has jet packs and “drone swarms” are considered to be a worthy investment. Idk I just really liked the art and technology present. Made me feel like a super solder more than other CODS.
I remember it fondly because it was the first game I played on my new XBox when I got it. I also love the end where Mitchell just tosses all of the gadgetry aside and goes after Irons with just his own strength and a knife. Other than that, though, yeah, the only other thing memorable about this game for me is the story behind Mitchell’s arm.
@@redtailcoatenjoyer6797 in my opinion did the maps look great for that time the game had the most customization out of all the call of duty's. Advanced warfare was innovative and the gameplay wasn't bad at all.
@@AlejandroVO2209 There's no enjoyment in Hardpoint if everyone keeps moving. As he said,chaos is needed but at just the right amount so that the game is enjoyable. The balance was all over the place,you mainly saw the Bal or the ASM1. The killstreaks were a disgrace.
''This is Will, he's your best friend now.'' *20 minutes later* ''This was Will, he's dead now, would you like to commemorate him? Oh yeah, and your arm is gone'' *F* ''This is Kevin Spacey, Will's father, he so happens to own the largest PMC force on earth surpassing nations military's and he can offer you the most advanced prosthetic arm in the history of mankind, would you like to accept his offer?''
I wish you'd talked about Exo Zombies. Me personally I really liked and still do enjoy Exo Zombies and felt like a gem of the game even with its issues. Otherwise great video
They did work on MW3 after all. Actually, I noticed way before how both MW3's and AW's final missions are so much similar. MW3: You start with Juggernaut suits, shoot the helicopter with them then an accident happens and they become broken, you continue without them, you find Makarov but the helicopter stop you, Yuri is injured he can't continue with you, you throw 2 men of Makarov, Yuri arrive but ... Finally you go down with Makarov where he dies. AW: You Start with Exo-Juggernaut suits, shoot the rocket then the suits get broken, you continue without them, you find Irons but he hacks your Exo suits, Gideon can't continue with you, you throw a man of Irons, Finally you throw Irons down and Gideon arrives.
Me and my friend would play this all the time, we set it up so it was just us two vs bots. We put the bots on easy and see how high a score we.could get in 20m. I haven't heard of anyone else who played the game like this, it was ridiculous fun.
I think grenades CAN work in later advanced movement CODs. My idea is the grenades are from a shoulder/wrist cannon and has a semi-lock-on function, where you lock onto a player and the launcher detects their last known location, almost like a snapshot and homes in on said last known position.
The fact that they would let a Marine, who only served for 6 MONTHS to be part of some elite PMC team is absolutely wild. The fascination with Marines is nuts sometimes
13:38 Something that I want to point out here. My driving school instructor told me that a guy he and his friends rode their motorbikes with, while avoiding a car that didn’t see him, hit the guardrail in such a way that he severed his leg from the knee down. He saw everything from behind him, but the guy kept riding like nothing happened. When my instructor pulled him to the side of the road he remembers that he told him that he didn’t even notice and that he only felt a burning sensation, but not at all pain. I know what you meant in the video, and I know this is anecdotal, but just to provide some perspective it is sorta realistic.
Yeah, you get so pumped on adrenaline that sometimes you don't even realized you're injured until after everything's happened. It's happened to me before too.
I think the momentum of the game being bad led to that scene being bad but yeah I agree with you guys, plus it's Cinematic letting everything be so chaotic and your own words and mind is so quiet
I feel that youtube's algorithm just wants to steal your money, by not giving your cash for a video. Instead of improvement to be "family friendly" its just to steal cash and limit income. Smh
I played a ton of Planetside 2 and loved that game. It seems like the multiplayer gameplay mechanics of Advanced Warfare would have been pretty fun if it were done in that same gameplay format as Planetside 2. Big open world with objectives and capture points and 3 factions fighting for control of the entire map. That sounds like it could be really fun if these mechanics were used in that way.
I feel like I’m the only one who legitimately enjoyed this game. Was it perfect? No, but in an era where COD was constantly getting ridiculed for being the same thing every year, this game was a breath of fresh air
I really like Advanced Warfare. The multiplayer and zombies was fun and the campaign, while not the best story wise, was still serviceable and some of the missions were really fun.
Its funny how my friend was so obsessed with trying to get the new guns from the lootbox system in this game, and a couple years later he remembered how he spent so much money for in-game content that would not matter.
Kinda completely weong COD AW has things that never were duolicated in later cods. It is one of the goats tbh it is so niche and unique. Flying reminded me of Dragon Ball Z fights. True jetpack warfare. V distinct from titanfall or inf warf or blops 3. The boost slams and quarter turn boosts and strafes were unmatched
James S hey if she dumped you, then she couldn’t handle how great you are. You’ll find someone who appreciates you more, patience is awarded to those who wait. Stay positive king.
on a scale of 1 to 10 how shocked do you feel? I got flipped off and was told she was a lesbian. Weezer's Pink Triangle suddenly became a SHIT tone more relatable (Pink Triangle is about River's dating a Lesbian then feeling dumb).
"First futuristic Call Of Duty" BO2 though Edit: if you want to get really technical, COD4 Modern Warfare was the real first one, given the time of game's events was 2011 and the title was released in 2007

The graphics and facial animations still hold up quite well on advanced warfare which is impressive for a game that’s about 7 years old
I just played it for the first time on my Xbox one and was honestly impressed
I know right 😮 I played it for the first time like I would say 4 years ago, I was not interested in mw 2019 and was in a buying previous cod streak and couldn’t stop and visually it was one of the most impressive campaigns I played without talking about ww2 and ghost campaign (yes I loved ghost campaign )

The zombies for AW is extremely underrated and actually presented the first blueprints for Cold War’s Zombies style. There was a lot of innovation, new power ups, great bosses and awesome random drops like a Titanfall style mech you could get in. Decent is one of the best maps I’ve ever played and I am a huge Zombies fan since the World at War days. If you haven’t played AW Zombies, please give it a try because it’s really fun and you will find a lot of enjoyment from the experience.
Agree. Loved the zombies in advanced warfare. Fun addition.
It's very good but I feel half the guns suck in that mode or the zombies are way to powerful past round 7. Also, the map design for Outbreak leaves a lot to be desired

If they had just switch the characters of Mitchell and Will, this story would have been so much better. You join the military with your best friend Mitchell, and he gets killed. You then go to his funeral with your dad, Irons. You then get a new arm and start fighting for your Dad's army. you then find out that your dad inevitably led to your friends death by sparking conflicts just so he could become powerful. This gives you a hatred for your dad. Eventually killing him an avenging your friend. The fact that it's your dad you have to kill makes it so much more emotional.
I think that would be a nice idea but I still love the actual story of Advanced Warfare to be honest. I just love Mitchell as a character. I also think the whole story revolving around the Atlas Corporation is also pretty well-done too.
I don't really play campaign, so half of this video does not count for me. I like the exo movement, the supply drop system, the increased customization, etc.
Why not? I’m not judging you but sometimes the campaign is the best part of the game. The original games up to MW1, Infinite Warfare, and BO2 are perfect examples of this.
@@renatus20058 It could have been a good game.
@@deathpoison1018 how do you like supply drops they unbalanced the game
I find it interesting to see the contrast between your best friend dying in this game, and Sarah dying in The Last of Us. We knew Sarah for probably half the time we knew Will, and yet her death is heart wrenching, wearas I am pretty sure I actually yawned at Will's
Something id like to point out is how creative the designs are. The exosuits look cool and the weird face masks for the marines in the first mission look great. The walking tanks have such a great design and sound. The drone swarm in the first mission moves really cool. The gun designs (though some are pulled from previous games) are creative and interesting. The grenades are super cool and creative. I have nothing but respect for the art team for AW. (Also a small detail you probably missed: in the funeral, you can see that the USMC insignia is different. It has the earth and an eagle biting an anchor in front of it instead of the usual eagle on top of earth and the anchor behind the planet.)

AW, BO3, and WW2 were for sure the most forgettable campaigns I ever played in my life.
Campaign was one of my favorite campaigns. When Kevin spacey said ”Ideas don’t determine who’s right. Power determines who’s right. And I have the power. So I’m right.” That sent goosebumps on my skin.

Fans: We want something different, we get the same game every year.
COD: Here's advanced warfare with a bunch of new different features.
Fans: WTF WHY IS THIS GAME SO DIFFERENT!!!!!!!
I loved advanced warfare it was a nice change of pace. Where they went wrong was having the next 3 games also having futuristic themes and movements. There are 3 studios making COD games, if each studio did a different theme we would have a good variety in the annual releases. One studio could make WW2/Vietnam/etc, another studio could make modern warfare games, and another studio make futuristic style games. This would mean each year we get something new and fresh.
Darth Tony I couldn't said it better. People like the game in the past but when the other 2 or 3 futuristic games come out people just forgot how fun AW was.
Exactly
Golden idea. Only thing left is for them to remove MTAs
Exactly the multiplayer was amazing it was a good time to switch it up
I was just thinking the same thing when watching a video about COD's history
The one thing I couldn't stop admiring about advanced warfare was the attention to detail in audio design. I fucking LOVED the sound of crackling pieces of glass under your boot, the "micro crackling" sound the guns make when swapping, the sound of his bionic arm when it recalibrates. Advanced warfare dominated sound design until the modern warfare reboot.
The guns sounded a lot better too. Really futuristic. Lethal but slick is how i can only really describe it. Like ghosts was good for that too, those guns sounded meaty and crisp.
Yeah AW has a hard on for crackling glass sound. I think 90% of the campaign you hear it lol. But it is pretty good. Also love the sound the exos make when using melee
I personally have always loved how chaotic the jetpacks were in aw they're less limited in your movement and actually get to use the advanced movement when you need it and it was fast clunky but fast and that was always what made it good for me

Advanced Warfare was and, still pretty much is my favorite of the series. At least in AW if you get shot you have the ability to defend yourself. Where as in other CoD games the difference between life and death is whether you see them first or not. And this is an astronomical hot take, but I actually liked the legendary weapon variants. I remember getting a legendary LMG and it was so nice to use I dedicated myself to getting diamond on heavy weapons. It's just too bad the game was dead after 3 months
You honestly summed my feelings up on Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare perfectly. Though I actually enjoyed playing through all three they end up getting ranked low because they’re separated from the series. One offs where I’m not as invested in the characters.
Imagine if the first few missions you played as Irons in his youth fighting in a much earlier war, seeing all his friends die around him, and he uses that as his motivation to build Atlas so that kind of thing doesn't have to happen again, and over the course of the campaign you find out how his ideals were twisted by the reality of the world until he turns into the evil Tony Stark that we got.
And that's what made Raul Menendez a great villain in BO2. We've been told about his past and motivation.

I really did enjoy the multi-player and campaign but more so the multi-player. It was different and I actually thought it worked. I honestly have such a weird love hate relationship with the customization in advanced warfare because I loved all the cool and wacky stuff but at the same time I couldn't stand it and I think it's because I was like 13 at the time and it was the first call of duty I really was able to sit down and play whenever I wanted to and just hop online and go for camos and what not. Looking back at this game if it came out today I'd hate it and I would have never played it lol but it's got a weird nostalgic feeling for me that makes me love it.
One thing I’ve noticed about call of duty games is that despite them being rated M for a “mature” audience, people in those age ranges would not be as entertained by the storylines of the futuristic games as opposed to the titles based on real historical events, like the Black Ops series (excluding BOIII and so on). However, when I played AW in high school, I was much younger than 17 (which is majority audience for this franchise) and I actually was thrilled by the storylines because I wasn’t too aware of what bad writing was as a young kid. Nowadays when watching these reviews, I can almost see a huge difference In perspective as I age in life. Long story short, I think these games can be more enjoyable when playing them at a younger age and having less knowledge of how cinema works properly.
I also notice that too, people who hold onto games like these were 12,13,14 when they played them, and that creates a bias, as an adult I can look at every one of these cod games for what they actually are, and AW is worse than bo2 bo1 MW etc, but worse doesn’t mean bad and people get upset especially the ones who glaze a certain cod bc they sat there at a young age and were able to simply play it 24/7 when it was the new cod when you say that about these cods but that’s the harsh reality. You can love a game and stills admit it’s sub par to their counter parts older or newer.

Honestly, a lot of the dialogue could be improved from what it is to turn it into something really good. I always wondered if maybe Irons talked to will about his Grand Plan and how Will would've reacted. Then I wondered if maybe the real reason Will joined the Marines was to prove him wrong. And you could have that one line of dialogue where Will says "I wanted to serve my country, not my old man." and use it to hint at that and be used as foreshadowing for later events. Maybe something like "He's less than half the man you think he is." or maybe something that shows the difference in ideology between the two, like "He doesn't care about anything but the Big Picture. Not you, not me, not any of the people down here on the ground. I do."

How he just said hes a good actor

I'll be honest, Irons offering Mitchell the business card at the funeral does add to his character, not caring about loss, but caring about how much war can be waged
True but it sucks that he wasn’t given more complexity
@@davemac9563 yeah, maybe you don't agree with my assessment, but to improve Irons as a character (and the game as a whole) the game should have:
Not made Atlas the bad guy. The story just ends up being "US being invaded and you've been betrayed, now fight for the US Army!". I think the US Goverment should have targeted Atlas for a PMC that rivalled the US Army, and after a few incidents of civilians accidentally getting caught in the crossfire, the US Government declares war on Atlas. I think throughout the story both sides need to be shown to have bad elements, so it isn't just good blue versus red bad. I think manticore should have stayed the same, except the "recipe" for it is stolen by US spies, and they fuck it up so it just turns into a deadly gas for all of humanity, instead of being used to target specific people.
In short, I wished Atlas were largely good, the US government targeting them for rivaling their power on the world stage, and there were scenes of both sides fucking up like accidentally firing on a civilian target, killing POWs, etc.
Irons is literally Elon Musk if Tesla made Military equipment.

No doubt jump
Waking on Wall is needed
Flying things is need
Hacking human or robots is need
No dog models
What I remember most from this game is getting that badass titanfall suit as a killstreak and then decking it out with missiles and cannons and stuff. Felt awesome smacking people around with it. Too bad it felt kind of fragile for an armored suit
Exo Zombies is a great mode that happens to suffer from 2 of the worst maps in COD and 2 maps that are decent and good. If the game had much better maps then not as many people would shit on the mode as a whole.
You can tell they wanted to make this into a series, since at the end he says something like "We killed Irons, but we knew our fight with Atlas was just beginning"
But then...
Which means this game needs a sequel. Irons is dead but what happens to Atlas Corporation
With how predictable the rest of the campaign was, they probably lose.

I honestly don't think I've ever cared about a single character in a cod campaign, and I've been playing since 4. I really liked both 4 and WaW's campaigns, but I felt no connection to the characters in the slightest. To me the highlight of any cod campaign ever was after beating WaW's campaign you get thrown straight into Nacht. 15 year old me was absolutely floored, having heard nothing about it prior. I haven't played a few entries in the series after losing interest over time so there are campaigns I haven't played.
Who's Will? Lol
@Arbiter We need a WaW remaster, honestly I have not and will not buy a MW remaster. I’ll buy the original. However, WaW? The darkest game of all CoD history? THAT is what I want a remaster of.
Problem I had with this one was ironically the opposite problem as campaign which was too linear approaching a rail shooter, but the techy gadgets like the jetpack complicated multiplayer too much, for a game where you die instantly there’s already too many ways to be jumped on out of nowhere and if you try to counterbalance that with other future tech like shields you would basically end up with halo and probably rather play that (although maybe not with how they’re handling that series now)

Advanced warfare has an incredibly memorable campaign with unique missions and settings that I had never seen before in other games. I still go back and play the campaign over again every 8 months or so.
However, I can safely say that I’m never naming my kid Mitchell.
The campaign was god like bro
The game didn't have that good of a campaign as it made no sense. Certainly, it was something out of the ordinary for a Call of Duty title, but when looking back on it, the game is simply an Anti-Corporate message.
The first issue I have with the campaign is how do all the resources that Humanity depends on still exist in this future? The game takes place between the years of 2054 and 2061, and somehow humanity has grown to this advanced civilization with no border changes, climate change has been solved. In this universe, Electric Vehicles have replaced gas-powered vehicles, yet the world's militaries still have equipment that is dependent on fossil fuels. By the 2050s in this timeline, Earth's natural resources would have been depleted, and the needs of our planet would be greater than she could supply. This in turn would be a recipe for disaster across multiple countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, etc who are all dependent on that of the oil industry. Even worse for this scenario is it even states in the game itself that the fossil fuel industry is still thriving inside many countries, and in fact somehow Atlas managed to rebuild Iraq of all places from the ground up.
Even worse for this game is that somehow the United States, the Peoples' Republic of China, the Russian Federation, etc are completely and totally ignored, or make no sense. In the opening of the game, you hear images of North Korea invading South Korea and somehow are able to do it with relative ease. The biggest and foremost question is how does North Korea still exists in this futuristic world. North Korea is not sustainable, and by this point in the future world that the game exists in, either North Korea would have fully collapsed and would have been absorbed into South Korea, or the most likely possibly be absorbed into that of the Peoples Republic of China. Yet the game makes no mention of this or takes it into account, and the opening conflict of the game makes no sense. This can further be attributed to the setting of where Atlas sets up its military headquarters, Baghdad, or "New Baghdad" Iraq. Iraq is one of the most religiously ethnic divided regions on the planet, and the developers only briefly mention that Iraq descended into chaos, and yet somehow Atlas managed to come out on top. Iraq wouldn't just be in Chaos, but the fact that it was a Private American Company rebuilding Iraq would go against many religious principles that are valued by the people in the region. Atlas wouldn't be living in happiness they would be dealing with a full-blown religious insurrection between the various Sunni and Shia Arabs and the Sunni Kurdish people.
Adding onto the problems of this game are the villains themselves. First off, who is the KVA? They are only described as Anti-Western Anti-Technology Extremist groups from the Chechen Rebellions. First off, the Chechen Rebellion was instigated due to poor economic conditions and the ethnic nationalism that resulted from the fall of the Soviet Union. Does this mean that the Russian Federation has collapsed and there is an economic crisis going in Russia? If that is the case, then why are the KVA not fighting against the Russian Government? Even furthermore is an economic crisis in Russia would lead to the complete and total collapse of nations such as the Peoples Republic of China and the European Union, and it would instigate another recession, to say the least. Keeping with this pattern the KVA doesn't have a legitimate purpose as to why they are fighting for what they are fighting, and given that the group appears to have sustained amounts of military hardware, which brings up a whole other question as to how they got it and are able to operate independently to cause a World Wide Disaster such as this. The situation is further exacerbated when looking at the ATLAS Corporation. The first and foremost is how does a Private Military Corporation manage to grow larger than governmental bodies and is able to wage a global-wide conflict and profoundly make victories against some of the greatest world powers? In this universe, somehow ATLAS Corporation managed to hire more than 45 Million "Soldiers" and brainwash them to wage a war against their homelands, and Irons managed to hold out in the war for six months and develops his own WMD's in the process and wage a war against the largest powers in the world across all continents. The biggest issue is how does a Private Corporation grows this large without some kind of government intervention? If a company, especially an American one, manages to grow to superpower status and become more powerful than that of the Peoples Republic of China and the United States combined, that would lead to some serious international condemnation, which is never specified in the game, and the level of government corruption needed to create a company larger than that of the East India Company and richer than that of the East India company would be so great, that it would be capable of destabilizing entire countries. Funny enough this kind of corruption is not only mentioned in the game, it is also encouraged by the United Nations Security Council itself, which absolutely makes no sense considering in the United Nations charter, but the UN also cannot have any governing authority. Even worse for this is somehow ATLAS Corporation is able to unite the United Nations against them and mount World War III across all continents. This is highly improbable considering the moment ATLAS Corporation turned on the world, the security forces wouldn't receive payment and Irons would be using his fortune in a global-wide war. Further adding onto this is the game never specified what happened in those six months between the Mission Armada, and the mission Throttle. Six months passed in that timeframe between those two missions, and somehow the Atlas Corporation managed to do considerable damage to all the world's superpowers, and still maintain indigenous production to continue the war effort. In this universe what should have happened is after the San Francisco attack, the United States and their NATO allies would have declared war against Atlas, and then they would have been defeated in less than a month, maybe even a month and a half at most, and it wouldn't have been a global-wide conflict.
This is game is further exacerbated by the plot for which the United States appears to be covertly fighting for. Literally, the United States is fighting ATLAS Corporation because somehow a Private Military Corporation is able to manufacture so many WMDs that it is able to wage a successful biological war. The biggest flaw with this is under the terms of the United Nations and the Geneva Convention is the manufacturing of WMDs (Nuclear Weapons, Chemical Weapons, etc.) has been strictly limited to governmental bodies. Corporations, not even Private Military Corporations, can manufacture Chemical Weapons and WMDs. Unless if international law has been completely abolished, which would have been an extremely dumb move, ATLAS would never have been able to acquire this kind of weaponry. Furthermore, the US, Russian, Chinese, British, and European intelligence I would assume would have found out about ATLAS's Weapon known as "Manticore" and it would have been exposed to the world way before the ending of the game, and the international court of justice would have been all over ATLAS. Furthermore, how does MANTICORE even exist? Manticore is described as a Biological Agent that is only designed to target specific genotypes, and anybody inside of ATLAS's Database would have been killed upon exposure. This is physically impossible, as Biological Agents are a series of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. You cannot simply manufacture a biological agent and then corrupt it with Human DNA so it wouldn't kill that particular person. Even if that were possible, Deoxyribonucleic (DNA) and Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) are mobile, changing over time through mutations and environmental influences, and receive over 1000 mutations in their genetic code that are not present in the different cells that surround it. Manticore wouldn't be able to take that into account, and so when Irons launches the Manticore in the mission "Throttle" not only would have the invading United Nations forces been wiped out, but also the ATLAS Mercenaries as well.
And speaking of the United Nations, this brings me to my final point, how does the United Nations still exist? The United Nations is one of the most politically divided organizations on the planet. It's divided between multiple different ideologies and forms of government that make it very very ineffective in modern politics, the game never takes that into account. In this universe, especially in the 2050s and 2060s when this game takes place, the United Nations should have been dissolved or at least have been broken up into multiple organizations based on the political divisions of the world.
In conclusion, this game is a very poor attempt at a futuristic military shooter. There are simply too many plotholes, too many unanswered questions, too many ignored realities, and simply just poor execution. I would much rather play Call of Duty: Ghosts or Modern Warfare 3 than this game.
@@BuckeyeNationRailroader damn what a read. I guess I agree with everything you said, it’s just not important to me personally if it makes complete sense. I mean, you have to be willing to stretch the imagination when everyone has jet packs and “drone swarms” are considered to be a worthy investment.
Idk I just really liked the art and technology present. Made me feel like a super solder more than other CODS.
@@tiltfuse4020 Not reading that shit
@@tiltfuse4020 Sorry for the read. I just get highly critical when it comes to stuff like this
You've got to give them credit for how Irons says Mitchell has to save him because he gave him the hand-and then he sacrifices the hand to drop Irons.
I remember it fondly because it was the first game I played on my new XBox when I got it. I also love the end where Mitchell just tosses all of the gadgetry aside and goes after Irons with just his own strength and a knife. Other than that, though, yeah, the only other thing memorable about this game for me is the story behind Mitchell’s arm.
This game summed up: “Great Ideas, bad execution”
What was so bad about the game?
@@AlejandroVO2209 The video,watch the fuckin' video.
@@redtailcoatenjoyer6797 in my opinion did the maps look great for that time the game had the most customization out of all the call of duty's. Advanced warfare was innovative and the gameplay wasn't bad at all.
@@redtailcoatenjoyer6797 and In this video the doesn't talk much about the multiplayer aspect of the game. He talked mostly about the storymode.
@@AlejandroVO2209 There's no enjoyment in Hardpoint if everyone keeps moving.
As he said,chaos is needed but at just the right amount so that the game is enjoyable.
The balance was all over the place,you mainly saw the Bal or the ASM1.
The killstreaks were a disgrace.
Are we just gonna ignore that cod advanced warfare had exo zombies.
Jaxon Tiller yes
they were behind dlc so that was probably the reason why he didnt review them
You have to buy it seperate. It isnt included when you just buy the main game.
Only on the last Survival mission... unless you wanted to buy the DLCs. They locked zombies behind DLC so yeah, people aren't gonna care for it.
Honestly that was a blast
The name “Mitchell” sounds an awful lot like “missile”. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Because it tried to be Titanfall (without the titans) and failed at doing so
I wish you'd talked about Exo Zombies. Me personally I really liked and still do enjoy Exo Zombies and felt like a gem of the game even with its issues. Otherwise great video
"the meme still lives on, unlike this game"
ouch.
that scene when hades dies is awfully similar to soap dying, and his last words “makarov knows yuri”
They did work on MW3 after all.
Actually, I noticed way before how both MW3's and AW's final missions are so much similar.
MW3: You start with Juggernaut suits, shoot the helicopter with them then an accident happens and they become broken, you continue without them, you find Makarov but the helicopter stop you, Yuri is injured he can't continue with you, you throw 2 men of Makarov, Yuri arrive but ... Finally you go down with Makarov where he dies.
AW: You Start with Exo-Juggernaut suits, shoot the rocket then the suits get broken, you continue without them, you find Irons but he hacks your Exo suits, Gideon can't continue with you, you throw a man of Irons, Finally you throw Irons down and Gideon arrives.
Me and my friend would play this all the time, we set it up so it was just us two vs bots. We put the bots on easy and see how high a score we.could get in 20m. I haven't heard of anyone else who played the game like this, it was ridiculous fun.
I think grenades CAN work in later advanced movement CODs. My idea is the grenades are from a shoulder/wrist cannon and has a semi-lock-on function, where you lock onto a player and the launcher detects their last known location, almost like a snapshot and homes in on said last known position.
Kevin Spacey was such a good actor, he even played a villain in real life

Black Ops 2: Am I a joke to you?
The fact that they would let a Marine, who only served for 6 MONTHS to be part of some elite PMC team is absolutely wild. The fascination with Marines is nuts sometimes

This game isn't forgettable, it's forgotten. Two different things.
And even then. There's still advanced warfare content being made today so even my point doesn't make a whole lot of sense
@@starchymuffins0086 it never did
Two best guns in the game was the mp11 Goliath and the arx super lite. In hardcore it was extremely OP.
?You mean the speakeasy and the obsidian steed?
Goliath up there with the bal 27 and the asm1 tho
13:38 Something that I want to point out here. My driving school instructor told me that a guy he and his friends rode their motorbikes with, while avoiding a car that didn’t see him, hit the guardrail in such a way that he severed his leg from the knee down. He saw everything from behind him, but the guy kept riding like nothing happened. When my instructor pulled him to the side of the road he remembers that he told him that he didn’t even notice and that he only felt a burning sensation, but not at all pain.
I know what you meant in the video, and I know this is anecdotal, but just to provide some perspective it is sorta realistic.
Yeah, you get so pumped on adrenaline that sometimes you don't even realized you're injured until after everything's happened. It's happened to me before too.
I think the momentum of the game being bad led to that scene being bad but yeah I agree with you guys, plus it's Cinematic letting everything be so chaotic and your own words and mind is so quiet
A word of advice: Don't bleep swears, mute them. RUclips's algorithm still recognizes them as bad language
I feel that youtube's algorithm just wants to steal your money, by not giving your cash for a video. Instead of improvement to be "family friendly" its just to steal cash and limit income. Smh
I just like how bleeps are now bad words in RUclips's algorithm. Now I'm curious if the Game and Watch songs from smash are just cursing lmao
RAMIREZ! MUTE SWEAR WORDS INSTEAD OF BLEEPING THEM OUT!
@@_Alex_Zer0_ I can literally hear Foley saying it now.
And I was sure that RUclips has been muting them automatically lately... 👴🏻
I played a ton of Planetside 2 and loved that game. It seems like the multiplayer gameplay mechanics of Advanced Warfare would have been pretty fun if it were done in that same gameplay format as Planetside 2. Big open world with objectives and capture points and 3 factions fighting for control of the entire map. That sounds like it could be really fun if these mechanics were used in that way.
Press F for BEST FRIEND WILL
I feel like I’m the only one who legitimately enjoyed this game. Was it perfect? No, but in an era where COD was constantly getting ridiculed for being the same thing every year, this game was a breath of fresh air
I thought the exo zombies was more enjoyable, the triple Barrel shotgun was really the one gun to get.
I really liked this futuristic game before they wen bullshit futurism with bo3 amd infinite warfare
Advanced warfare was just exo suits
I remember the solar energy map where people were trying to reach the glitch spot
I really like Advanced Warfare. The multiplayer and zombies was fun and the campaign, while not the best story wise, was still serviceable and some of the missions were really fun.
John Wall “You subjectively enjoy something I don’t, so you objectively have bad taste” lmao grow up dude
Its funny how my friend was so obsessed with trying to get the new guns from the lootbox system in this game, and a couple years later he remembered how he spent so much money for in-game content that would not matter.
15:37 "I know a great junior high school just down the road, follow me."
Literally the most memorable part of this game for me is Kevin Spacey saying "What you're seeing is advanced warfare."
"what are we, some sort of advanced warfare?"
@docteur vaudou modern is gone the future is now old man
Roll credits.
Look at me, am the advanced warfare now
Mitchell was in shock, that’s why he didn’t react more to his arm.
Kinda completely weong COD AW has things that never were duolicated in later cods. It is one of the goats tbh it is so niche and unique. Flying reminded me of Dragon Ball Z fights. True jetpack warfare. V distinct from titanfall or inf warf or blops 3. The boost slams and quarter turn boosts and strafes were unmatched
Not gonna lie my girlfriend just dumped me about two hours ago so this is a perfect way to forgot how much I wanna die.
