You die probably a tiny bit slower than Ghosts but not by much. The multiplayer is a hell of a lot more fun than Ghosts though.

I'm doing the campaign now (Veteran, of course). Man, it is just full of logic holes and CoD clichés. I mean, it's pretty standard stuff for the franchise, but for all the talk of how this game was supposed to be a breath of fresh air and reinvigorate the franchise, the thing is no different. I mean, the very core of this game feels just like the rest.

anyone got the special editions or the season pass?
No, I just got the Day Zero which was just a day earlier with Double XP and some extra weapons.

The multi-player is definitely more fun than Ghosts. It's closer to Black Ops play style which has always been much better than the Modern Warfare style. And the suit actually makes it more fun. In the end though it's still Call of Duty so if you don't like it then you won't like this. Lucky for me, I never bought every game so I'm not burnt out on it.

The special edition XB1 looks amazing. Anyone know if that's exclusive? I'd love a ps4 that looks like that.

I don't do multi, but I'll get this for the single campaign and then sell it.

Ive played this a lot since i got it sunday at midnight. The online gameplay is very fast paced. The graphics remind me of black ops 2 a lot, and so does the actual gameplay online.

The guns sound pathetic, i hate when they make them sound weak. I dont really care for the gun selection either. You can play like 90% of the community and get by fine online with the AK12.

I prefer to play the classic game modes with out the exo skeleton. It slows the gameplay down a bunch and it feels normal not all ADHD like it does when you have a exo suit on.

I started the campaign and quit because its the same shit as always. You have one guy with a big yellow follow me marker. I probably wont beat the campaign, just cant stand the same cheesy stories year after year.

I'm about to the end of the campaign. Unless you love the CoD campaigns, I wouldn't bother. It's riddled with every cliché the series can throw at you, in terms of gameplay scenarios (most level have a QTE-heavy moment, it seems, there's a turncoat, a "twist," a decoy of an antagonist, etc.). It's not necessarily a terrible story on its face, but the nuances are so predictable.

I played my nephew's copy on my PS4 last night, MP is pretty fun again and I may get my own copy but I really suck at FPS games on console so hopefully I improve since the last FPS game I played on console was Bad Company 1 (although I also got Destiny, haven't played it that much). Haven't played CoD since the god awful MW2.

Yep there's a handful of cliche in the game.

This is 1000x better than ghost. I havent played the story yet, usually dont for at least a month, but never made it past the first mission of ghost. I hated the online too. This does have a feel of Blops and the exo suit is kind of fun. Some maps are made for it and others not so much.

Yup, that's what I said, feels closer to Black Ops which is a good thing. I didn't like Ghosts so I skipped it last year after playing it over a friend's house. AW is really fun to me, I'm enjoying it but Damn, it's still an ugly game. They really need to work on a whole new Engine. It's still the same one they've been using since CoD3.

My only major complaint with AW (beyond the horrible connections) is the maps. Even the best maps of the bunch are terrible. They have the Halo 4 disease, where they made them more vertical, then ruined their lateral size, making everything claustrophobic. Bio Lab's a perfect example, as you're ALWAYS spawning on top of someone. I've never been a BIG sniper in those games (though I got the golden one in one game and diamond in BO2), but it feels impossible to snipe on these maps. There are so many obstacles, and the maps are so short end-to-end, you've always got someone right on top of you. Instinct (from one spot) is the only map I could snipe with any success, and I'm just running with the AK12 and Bal-27 as a result.

I can get with the overall gameplay, it's fine. However, these maps are just so irritating to put up with. The other complaint is how bad the lighting can be in different parts. It can be SUPER dark in a shaded area, making it hard to see an enemy. I could probably crank up the brightness to improve that, but I've always felt compelled to play with a realistic brightness setting, based on their calibration thing.

It's a massive step up from Ghosts, but I wouldn't say this is close to Black Ops 2, in terms of overall quality.

It makes sense to have the maps vertical because of the Exo suit, means you have to literally be aware of all angles buy you're totally right, the maps do feel small but that's usual for CoD. And yes sniping is down a lot in this game specifically because of the Exo suit and how mobile the game is now. To me, it makes it better, less able to camp now for anyone as I hate campers.

TDM is pretty worthless. Everyone just gets on top of a building and is either sniping or using a silenced BAL-27.

I watched a number of YouTube videos before getting a chance to play and a lot of people said the assault rifles were dominant, SMGs were weak, and the BAL was the strongest.

I didn't take much stock in day 1 impressions. Yet, they were right.

IMO the SMGs need a bit of a damage buff. The BAL needs a nerf; it reminds me a lot of the BO1 Famas. I understand there will generally be a "BEST" gun in a game like this, but the BAL has such an advantage over everything else (except in extreme long range) that it's not funny.

If that happens, it might be a bit more interesting to me. Unfortunately I fear TDM will be a loss. We'll see how it goes.

Got this game tonight from best buy and played a little online multi player and I've gotta say this game sucks balls big time.I havent played Campaign yet but the online multi player sucks.The control sucks the graphics suck,the maps suck. sucks sucks sucks..
Ghosts was a million times better then this crap. I dont get why Xbox One keeps releasing trash games.I did just recently get Destiny and that is a pretty good game but gets very repetitive after playing for 8 hours a day for 4 days straight.My next planned pick up is Halo Master Chief Collection and I pray to god they dont "F" up Halo like they have "F'ed" up so many games released so far.Where are all the quality next gen titles??No Really I am being serious here where are they??I paid $500.00 to have my breath taken away from the earth shattering next gen graphics..

Wow, with such a fair and balanced post, I'll surely value everything you have to say.

P.S. You paid $500? Sucker.

This guy, he is just a fantastic troll to have around in this forum. I'm so glad to have his asinine comments and their horrendous grammatical mistakes I learned to avoid in 6th grade.

We get it, you don't like the One. Go put it on Craigslist and get the GPU epeen machine you so clearly desire. Enjoy Driveclub and Killzone, bro.

Sadly I have to agree. The game falls short for me. I think Ghosts provided better experience. This game just feels too fake.

I just started playing through the campaign last night. Much better than Ghosts' campaign (that was just dumb). And I'm surprised how much I like the exo suit and the new abilities it provides. I haven't played multiplayer yet.

What I don't get in these FPS games is why can't they ever voice my character? I hate that he's asked questions but never replies (must be a great communicator through his eyes and body language!). I know people will say it's because they want you to imagine yourself in the game or whatever, and maybe it'd alienate a woman playing the game to have a male voice, but it's just annoying to me.

Give my character a voice. Hell, let the player choose at the start to play as a male or female soldier and have two voice packs. Use a name like Sam and you wouldn't even have to worry about changing the script of the other characters in the game based on the players gender choice.

It is a military game, you wouldn't even need to go that far. You could call the main character by their last name (or shortened version of it) or rank and it would be entirely gender neutral.

Played the single player last night and its not bad so far. I thought ghosts sp was alright but this one is a bit better. Didn't get to try mp yet as the Xbox was installing that portion after 2 hours still although in the dashboard it said 100% installed.

Got this game over the weekend and beat it today. Was an OK story, I was surprised how good the graphics were in some places, and then complete crap in others (XB1 version if that matters).

Overall, I thought it was good, but I don't think I'll get another CoD. I haven't played one since CoD 3 (first one on X360... yeah, that long), but I'm surprised it hasn't really changed the formula at all. Yeah the gear / guns / grenades / etc are definitely a lot more unique and varying, but ultimately you're still doing the same thing. Killing waves and waves of hundreds of enemies which doesn't really mean much or take much effort

I wasn't expecting it to be any different to be quite frank, I'm just not getting why people buy them over and over and over. This one had Kevin Spacey so I had to give it a shot
