Tracking down the right weapon variant for your play style adds to the experience, and I quickly found I’d become either frustrated when I couldn’t find a weapon with a threat indicator, or feel a wave of relief wash over me when I could.Īs for the Exos, the exoskeleton augmentation suits that soldiers wear in Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare, they do indeed offer fun gameplay tweaks, including the ability to jump much farther than you can normally in games like this, a hover break for steep descents, grappling hooks for zipping around maps and quietly taking down bad guys, and much more. Each gun can be found throughout the game outfitted with a number of different sights and scopes, and you’ll find pretty quickly that you’ll likely prefer one type over another. The fundamentals are all well done, as is the new arsenal of weaponry.
On the gameplay side, Call Of Duty delivers typically solid first-person shooter action. Again, I’m not the most familiar with this series, but as far as action games go, this is one of the better recent entrants from a story perspective. While the story isn’t going to blow anyone away, even with its big ‘twist’ (which you should be able to see coming from basically the opening cutscene) it’s sort of like any good big budget action movie, in that it’s a simple story, well-told, with a focus on action and special effects that makes up for the lack of a deep narrative. The plot, while both predictable and shallow, was nonetheless solidly put together, well-told and well-acted by both the animated characters (which look fantastic on the PlayStation 4, by the way) and the voice actors behind them, which include Spacey in a key role that’s probably really best described as the lead, given his screen time, Troy Baker as the player character Jack Mitchell, and Gideon Emery as the creatively-named “Gideon.” What surprised me about Advanced Warfare most might’ve been how much I enjoyed its story.
It struck a good balance between exposition, basic instruction and making sure you get to the action right away at the beginning, jumping you right in at the start and only then peeling back for the traditional “oh here’s some training simulation” to refine the basics you pick up in the initial live combat opening level. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s single player campaign.
