Right my first post guys just thought I would say hello to all you guys im an Xbox guy, been playing since PS1 not as hardcore as some but have over 100 games tucked away from the gf!
Now not that I am the most praising bloke in the world for COD however i thought I would pick this up and see how the game has evolved after boycotting both ghosts. The only saving grace for advanced warfare for me was Classic mode. Brought back old memories where gun play was necessary. It has massive negatives and broken aspects including lasers ??? and bunny hop exo jumping that have broken true tactics as enemies can get behind you so quickly and easily, its like over the years games have gotten faster, bigger, easier, where are the good old days of Counter strike...ya know where tactics where important...nah its alright ill just jump behind them, no dedicated servers with their odd decision of peer to peer which I thought was dead!
They have decided to meld Classic into most pit... I think its time to pick up a new FPS one that is remotely related to real life war (ex soldier too) perhaps Battlefield is what is needed. I just wanted your thoughts and comments guys! What are you thinking did anyone take the plunge and buy advanced warfare and if not why!
I have bought every CoD since CoD4 and to me they have always been an Arcade, fast paced twitch shooter and this years is no exception. It isn't a military type simulation. The only game I wasn't so keen on was World at War as this was based on WW2 and it reminded me to much of my Grandfather and his stories. It didn't seem right to make a 'fun' game out of that situation.I can't deny the MP wasn't fun and had some great maps although I do prefer the more modern weapons.
Whilst I am not a 'fan' of the exo-movement of Advanced Warfare, it has changed the way CoD plays. In the past, you knew roughly where the enemy was likely to spawn and the routes they were likely to take so this enabled you to lock down areas. This is obviously harder now where the exo's allow players to jump over buildings and walls creating their own routes around the maps.
I really don't see the Lasers though as an issue. The laser based weapons themselves act very similar to traditional weapons and see no difference in shooting these or a bullet based weapon. Its not like they kill any quicker or give the player any advantage. If anything, they give away the position of those using them. It also brings a bit of colour to. The AE4 (DLC laser AR) has average stats compared to other AR's - the only real difference is that it shoots bolts of light instead of bullets.
I really don't think the Tactics have changed that much. I do think it is harder to control the flow now and you need to be more aware as enemies can come from far more areas and be in more places than previous games due to the movement abilities and added verticality. I know it makes a difference if you are playing in a team and can communicate to playing solo - it does seem that there isn't much communication despite everyone getting a headset with their console.
I do think it is funny though that people have wanted a 'change' and then complain it isn't like previous games. This happens year after year. I actually enjoyed Ghosts and thought IW had made a very good and fun game that in my opinion was much better than MW3. It certainly played better and had a lot less lag/latency issues. Lag is actually built into the game so dedicated servers wouldn't change that significantly but may give a more consistent game as well as help a bit with matchmaking. CoD has a built in system so that you never get the kill and be killed at the same time situation ie you both shoot at the same time and both die - 1 person will always win a gunfight. If you play Destiny you will know how annoying this is! The person that wins is the one whose bullets register in the coding first. Even on LAN there is a lag/latency but this is consistent to everyone. The experience of being shot round the corner is down to the fact you were actually dead before you reached the corner but the animation of dying etc was slightly delayed but this probably would still happen with dedicated servers as the weapons kill in less than half a second and the game has to register this and generate a killcam whilst keeping track of everyone else and their bullets too.
Battlefield is a great game. It can be far more unbalanced than CoD with the added vehicles and camping is seen as 'tactical'. I would certainly recommend trying it especially as you can probably pick up BF4 relatively cheaply.
A pessimist is just an optimist with experience!
Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??
Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...
For the love of any thing good do not buy Battlefield 4. If any thing try EA Access for £4 for a month or £19.99 a year that way you would get BF4 to try out for yourself to see you like it or not. As COD AW i did not buy that game at all but i did play it as for me the game it self was to easy to play and online was not new at all, after all Titanfall were FPS are at rigth now, If your looking for big team then try out BF4. But i do know few people that were big cod fans as for AW they move on to Titanfall for better FPS game on XB. But i allway think it good to try out games before you buy them.
For me its turned into an arcade too much which for me is why i wont buy COD / AW again. A bit sad really but i dont think they will be ever moving to a traditional non exo suit platform for the game. Titan fall and AW have bucked this trend so i think we should see to be honest. I know there is a rumour they could be returning to a world at war possibility so hopefully you wont have 1945 soldiers exo'ing around!
Every year they seem to add something new and improved the laser quip was my way of saying ...i dont like it! lol. I think gun play was more important on past modern warfares where as now jumping around behind you and where they can appear anywhere on the map has killed a tactic...everyone lets run and jump into the middle where everyone is. Too quick paced and disjointed from a traditional FPS. Instead of making small paces towards a newly modelled COD they have took a leap as alienated a lot of players.
Hopefully they will bring back classic TDM. I will have to find something i know i will like there seems to be a gap in the traditional FPS then Silver! I see what your saying! hopefully someone will make something! I work with Red Bam so I have been told not to say too much to upset you about Destiny, all i will say is i dont play it!
Each to their own as they say. I don't know how CoD would and could survive if it didn't try something new. You can say what you like about Destiny after all you are entitled to your opinion and it certainly doesn't affect mine. All I will say though is that as a MP experience, I really don't think Destiny is what I want or enjoy and judging by your comments about AW it certainly wouldn't be a game I would recommend to fill that gap. I also wouldn't recommend Titanfall or Halo either for similar reasons.
Yeah i tend to agree with Cod i think moving to next gen they needed something different movre striking as if to move the bar further just a shame its not my cup of tea! I had titanfall 360, enjoyed it and got to gen 10 so thought in my head it was done for me, im not sure about the master chief collection might just give it a wait far cry4 and dragon age inquisition to crack on with with Shadow of mordor nearly finished off.
After Titanfall, I think that jumpy about fast shooters are the future.
These games have nothing on Quake tbh. Console shooters will never catch up to where PC has been if we're talking about fast paced shooters. Sensitivity and accuracy just isn't there. That is why they are slower paced. Nothing wrong with that though
Ha! I agree many hours were sunk into games like Counter strike PC version! no perks, no killstreaks, no weapon mods...just you and a gun! yeah a lot did like it and a lot didn't, just not my cup of tea.

Counter Strike was great! I played so many Half Life 1 mods
