About Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Sledgehammer Games dropped Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on November 3, 2014 to kick off a new decade for the franchise. You can play it on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. This shooter pushes the series into near-future settings where exoskeleton suits let you wall run and perform double jumps during firefights. Kevin Spacey voices Jonathan Irons, the antagonist driving the campaign's dark political narrative. The game launched with single player missions, co-op modes, split screen support, and its usual massive multiplayer suite. It feels like a direct evolution of modern military shooters but trades static trench warfare for high-mobility combat across varied terrain.
Gameplay
Every session demands constant movement because your suit lets you boost up walls or parkour over cover. The core loop involves sprinting, jumping, and sliding while tracking enemies who move at similar speeds. Campaign missions feature set pieces where you pilot a mech or engage in stealth sequences before erupting into chaotic gunfights. Multiplayer matches rely heavily on these mobility tools to flank opponents rather than holding static positions. You earn experience points to unlock new perks and weapons that further enhance your agility. The controls feel tight, though the emphasis on speed means reaction time matters more than aim alone. Matches end quickly when players get flanked or outmaneuvered in open arenas.
What Players Think
Players rate this title at 76.1 out of 100 based on 610 IGDB reviews. The community describes the vibe as intense, competitive, and hardcore with three votes each for those tags plus cooperative play. You have to grind for achievements since only 31% unlock them on average across the 45 available. Most users struggle with Flying Ace, which has a rare 2.30% completion rate. These numbers suggest the multiplayer is demanding and rewards skill over casual participation. The low average unlock rate indicates many people finish the campaign but rarely tackle the harder challenges in competitive modes or co-op operations.
PlayPile's Take
Advanced Warfare works if you want fast-paced action that feels different from standard military shooters. It costs money upfront, so expect a steep learning curve for multiplayer matches where movement is key. The 45 achievements offer long-term goals, though the rare ones like Flying Ace will frustrate casual players. This title fits fans who enjoy high-octane shooting over slow tactical pacing. Skip it if you prefer grounded realism or dislike motion controls that prioritize agility over accuracy. The campaign stands on its own, but multiplayer remains the main reason to keep playing past the credits.
