Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Before everyone gets mad and calls me a heretic, have a look at some gameplay below:

***START DISCLAIMER***
I know I seem to get hyped at every title in the world, but the truth is I am just that passionate about gaming and I like the way titles try new things and are able to get people excited, even if they wind up failing. I want more people to feel this hype, whether they get into a game or not.
***END DISCLAIMER***

Giving COD all the shit its deserved over the years is something that comes naturally to all of us (myself incl) but whats happened to our beloved Battlefield of late, and how Hardline is shaping up, means that a few guys will most likely not pick up BF:H. We do not know whats going to happen with the leagues ITO competitive gaming etc... but this has come onto a few guys' radars and I thought we should all take a look at get a discussion going.

I know we love our vehicular combat, but from the looks of BF:H so far, it looks like it may not be a big part of the game. On the other hand, COD:AW looks like an almost arena styled shooter.. Fast paced, double jumps, dodging and some crazy weaponry. I am not saying go and pre-order here guys, because (i know that doesn't work and) its early days and titles should be gauged properly.

I just think that since its a COD, it will most likely have a crazy following, massive community (probably quite tardy, but look at the BF community..), competitive leagues and a fair bit of longevity (1 - 2 years).

I am quite keen to give this a bash, but like I said, will wait and see a bit more. So far, it looks really good. Watch the whole clip and lets get a chat going!

Nice looking gameplay trailer, brings some pace back into the game.

I've bought every CoD title over the years , I generally enjoy the SP campaign, even if I don't do too much MP. Usually once it's on a Steam sale though, I've generally found the $60 pricetag too high for something I'll only play a little)

The big question for me on this one though is if they have proper dedicated servers or not. Ghosts doesn't, it's a matchmaking game, and the MP suffers for it.

Ultimately, if a number of people go for this, and it gets some playtime, I'll definitely be up for it. Even if I am too old/slow to play the game competitively.

COD:WAW was one my favourite FPS's of all time. I will watch the vids and if the reviews are good, get the game.
After BF4 and Watchdogs I am very shy to buy an unfinished, buggy game. If COD gets the nod, I will nod the COD.

CoD:WaW was awesome!! Unscoped bolty's FTW!!

Would love to play that some more.

CoD2 and CoD:UO were the proper CoD's! Awesome WW2 shooters.

If this has dedicated servers and some grrrbians start jamming it, I will deffo get a copy.

I would be very disappointed if it turned out to be that repetitive but, my impressions from vids and game reviewers who have played at various launches is that it will be a of fun and it will play out differently each time.
There are different ways for the different creatures to evolve and each of the 4 people need to combine cleverly to bring the beast down.

I am also hyped for Evolve.... RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
