Like in Ghosts?
COD:Advanced Warfare

A lovely person bought this for me and I've been playing some. It's better than some reviews would make you think but it's obviously not COD4/MW2. I didn't play Ghosts so I can't speak on that but I like it better than BO2 thus far.
I don't really care for the maps, they are generic and boring. Bred is right about them being reminiscent of BO2 maps so if you like those you should be fine. They are all bigger so don't go looking for that 1-2 small map in the rotation, they all have close quarter areas though
It doesn't really feel like COD with all the sci-fi additions and after a few hours I get bored of the double jump, etc. It is better than the more recent COD games but don't go throwing your money at it just yet. The lack of dedicated servers can be sorely felt as P2P hosting at times makes the game unplayable. The lag is real, folks. Unless/Until they fix it, I'd proceed with caution.
Also, from the servers I've played, the game is full of people who have played 24/7 since it's come out and they are in go hard in the paint mode.
Prepare to have your ass handed to you if you're a mere casual gamer. It's definitely fast paced and a challenge if you're up to it.
YAY MEL! we gotta do co-0op survival sometime 
She is on point about the tryhards,some of these dudes are getting crazy mid air kills that will make you rage but i think as soon as i get the quickdraw and fast mags I won't be losing so many gunfights(hopefully) .It's very true about the ass handing,my hands have been full of ass.

Are you complaining about having your hands full of ass?
What do you think of the new requirements to unlock attachments?
Like connection lag? Or video lag?
it's taking a while but headshots for attachments is good i think, buuuut headshots are so fkn hard to get in this game,unless you sneak up on an immobile person which is rare. I am going to blame ping and connection for me losing the majority of gunfights ...i swear this is the case 
it has gotten a bit better since the patch but it's nowhere near the level of BO2 as far as how responsive it is albeit far better than ghosts.
@MR.N00B! I'm going to say connection lag,so far it seems they haven't rolled out the "dedicated" servers yet if ever..I'm playing on normal to high settings ,lag shows up regardless of having a full bar sometimes it's fine but sometimes it's real bad.That being said i have yet to see any Host migration or anything like that but it seems to smooth out after 30 seconds or so
I hope they switch it to showing actual ping like they did in BO2

Coolio. COD's seem to get laggier every year, but that doesn't affect me much since my internet sucks anyway. Just wondering about the video lag since Ghost's had spots where you would just randomly drop frames for no reason.
Yep, definitely connection lag. I've gotten the host migration a few times but I'm used to that from MW2. The worst part is when you get connected to a lobby and it fails to connect you so it takes a few minutes of a frozen screen to put you back into your party. There is no exit button, no way to pass go, nada. Not unless you want to kill the process and restart the game every 20-25 minutes. I've got some hours into the game so far and I'd say at least an hour of that has been spent getting bounced from lobby to lobby, and trying to connect to games.
Oh, I like the crates you get. It's like getting presents, only I tend to get them when I get shot in the face so it's more like a sympathy gift. Though, some of the loot is time limited and it's pretty silly. I got a package with a helmet that expired in something ridiculous like 10 minutes, lol
I am having fun on it when I can actually play.

Bred, how very dare you Sir? You would appear to have Hijacked my avatar, without so much as a by your leave![DOUBLEPOST=1415389972][/DOUBLEPOST]Ah now that really is a cute Avatar lol

My suggestion is to wait until they fix the lag,be it rolling out the "dedicated" servers or what not..this lobby type system is BS the lag is almost as bad as ghosts..too bad,the game is fun when it works right..[DOUBLEPOST=1415559201,1415558880][/DOUBLEPOST]this happens to me a lot
Yep, I second what Bred says.
Now that I've played more, I do really like a few of the maps. The game is tons of fun and I wish they'd get their stuff together.
It's sad how dead it is, at least when I play. I can only get games on Dom/SnD. TDM is populated but I avoid that. No one is playing Uplink, Momentum, Capture the Flag, Search and Rescue, or even Infected.

Alrighty I've gotten some play time in.
Sound. While the sound of the exos and guns are not bad, and some of them quite cool and good quality. You can't hear anything in multiplayer. If someone is shooting from over 5 feet away, it might as well be 5 miles away. Those loud boosts you hear from your exo suit? The guy next to you thought it was the sound of a breeze. When you slam in to the ground after your double jump off a roof and hear a huge thud, have no fear, you're the only one who heard it.
tldr for sound = sound is only there to be cool, it's useless in pretty much all other aspects.
Graphics. Graphics are good, some stuff is just clutter. And we still have our magical flying papers going everywhere so that's cool.
They made the maps have too much stuff hanging over them so there's random shadows everywhere on the map. Quality of textures is still pretty good on low settings was pleasantly surprised.
Maps. A lot of em in my opinion are fairly poorly designed, too many dark corners, tons of clutter, all tiny. Some are cool and the visual aspects are interesting. One of the maps looks like it's from Avatar(le movie).
Spawnzzzzzzzzz. LOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOL in other words in tdm it's basically FFA as the spawns aren't influenced very heavily by positioning of teams(tdm) it seems, though most of the maps are so small it could just seem that way.
Lag. Most connections are completely fine. I haven't experienced any lag in games, but as Mel said, there's a common issue that it'll try to load for a minute until it says you couldn't connect and you're stuck there unless you end the process.
Pump up the music if you wanna play this game, if you expect to hear people stomping around you're gonna have a bad time. So SnD kinda sucks which isn't a problem if you don't like it anyway(or don't play with sound).
SAC3 silenced is bugged so that if anyone shoots it you hear it as if you shot it.
Sledgehammer claims that dedicated servers are coming and there's options in the cfg I found for dedicated server browser so that's cool.
seta ui_browserShowDedicated "0"
seta ui_browserShowEmpty "1"
seta ui_browserShowFull "1"
seta ui_browserShowPassword "-1"
seta ui_browserShowPure "-1"
