Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

nope... no source...

But since they pissed off everyone else, and have not announced "dedicated servers" right out the gates (to win those lost votes back) ... things do not look good!

THREAD REVIVE IS REAL

Jackfrags' opinion. He is one of the better Youtubers in the world and the gameplay is quite solid to give you an idea of what to expect.
Remember, thats all pub gaming. I imagine competitive modes will be a lot more methodical.

BIG ISSUE ATM: Dedicated servers have not been released yet


Also, here is RivalBATTLEFIELDfactors opinion:

From my post on the server thread:

Anyway, so in the usual, expected, tradition of game breaking news, it would appear that CODAW is deficient in dedicated server options.

I installed the game last night (an hour and a half to install from disk, plus an additional 2.5GB of updates), but didn't get a chance to play. Had a brief look at the MP launcher this morning before work, and I only had the option to 'Join Game', followed by picking the game type. It then started searching for games... i.e. no server browser, it looks to be entirely peer-to-peer.

So, if you're thinking of this as a competitive option, we'll need to see if there is a dedicated server option added later. Given that Ghosts never had one, I'd be surprised if they add it to this game.

I reckon I'll enjoy the game regardless, purely for pub fun (and the SP campaign looks quite decent too), but I don't have high hopes at this stage for it's competitive viability.

Thanks for the info Jay, i got my box set earlier today. An extra 2.5 GB instead of a solid 40+ GB is good enough for me.

While there isn't dedicated servers / server browser as yet, the developers actually said there would be. When however, is another story. But the community is quite upset about it.

Given that the competitive nature of COD failed with Ghosts, I think they want to get it back and with 13 game modes + Classic mode .. as well as a BROADCAST mode, I think it was built with eSports in mind. Obviously this is early days.

Having watched a fair bit of streaming now and read a multitude of reddit posts, tweets and opinions, I think that irrespective its going to be a lot of fun. Whether it will have the legs is another story, but with a full blown COOP Zombie campaign also down the line (leaked info), I foresee this filling the gap quite nicely.

Besides, if you're an unlock hooker like i am, this game is JIZZ. ("Oh?? Only 325 headshots with the pistol to go? NICE")

Please don't buy this game for the sake of buying it. Do not feel pressurized to get it. We do not know ANTHING about DGC 2015 yet... I can confirm however that there are going to be a few guys from other clans in SA playing, so there will always be a bit of a crew to jam with.

In an interview with Stevivor from earlier this month, Sledgehammer Games’ Michael Condrey answered the question of whether or not dedicated servers will be supported by Advanced Warfare.

“We’ve got some announcements coming. Yes, we will be supporting dedicated servers and there will be announcements soon on which providers and platforms. I can’t answer just yet, but you can let your community know that it’s coming,” he said.

So as Phats says, it only seems to be a matter of when...

Great news, in that case I can relax and have some fun while I wait.
