Boring.

This looks fantastic

Literally one right after the other. Is there any series amongst enthusiasts that is more divisive?

 

[iBeleaf]

I really hope they fix the connection issues. BO2 is by far the worst CoD game when it came to online multiplayer connection

 

[Iced Arcade]

Series is burnt out and the future/modern is getting old.


Never thought I'd say this But but I'm craving a world War shooter again.

If someone told me this is for Xbox 360/PS3, I would believe them.

This is Advanced Warfare on PS3, pls escort yourself to the nearest Optometrist or Ophthalmologist.
I am concerned for your vision.

and I wouldn't Believe you, especially if you are a PC gamer.

Some peoples hyperbole is fucking strong.

 

[HelloMeow]

The MP? Oh boy, where do I begin:

How can you mention all of that, but not the single most game ruining thing? AW has a base delay of roughly 150ms. So even when playing a local splitscreen game, it's like you have 150ms ping.

Holy crap!!!

Can't wait! Looks great as usual. With COD, there is never a doubt. Straight forward, quality, FPS at its best. Always a blast.

That's pretty much a given though. This has been the case since BO2 and will not change until there's a new - a real new, not improved - engine.

Ghosts apparently didn't have this issue. People even complained about the consistently low TTK because of it.

People got too used to shitty netcode. The difference between MW2 and BO was shocking, I had to play them back to back to make sure I wasn't going insane.

MW3 and BO2 carried on the trend of awful netcode. Ghosts didn't really have it and people hated the 'low' ttk (ie, your shots actually registering).

Funny stuff.

Complex in what way?

I realize that you can re-map buttons and whatnot, but I feel like any good PC shooter should be able to be easily played with the default keys. Knifing/going prone/peeking/kill streak selection just feels really bad. It's like trying to play chords with a keyboard. I would like a more fluid default layout for BO3.

I'm sure that some people will say "git gud" but I actually prefer shooters on PC. COD is just the only one that feels awful to me. Maybe it's because I'm so conditioned to playing it on Xbox 360/PS4.

Really? I've actually consider COD the best on PC when it comes to the default controls. Some other shooters share some aspects of it too. But then again, I don't use the knife or grenades, so that's two keys I don't ever worry about.

Eh ever since Ghosts I would argue that, but even I liked Ghosts over AW.

It's because the game doesn't really feel like CoD besides how the gun handles. The exo movements break the flow of the game that CoD players are used to and allows players to cross lanes with little trouble making it tough to play in the traditional defensive manner. You pretty much have to rush in this game unless you have a party of coordinated players that can lock and funnel the flow of an otherwise chaotic game.
Edit: I expected this reason. Introducing a new type of playstyle will indeed break that "formula" and doesn't necessarily help fix or replace it.

As a rusher myself I don't hate the game but I probably get 50% enjoyment and 50% frustration and is very tiring with having to keep focused on enemies jumping around constantly flying through the air. SBMM forces players to connect that otherwise wouldn't have, so you'll be connecting with others many states away and the netcode just can't keep up with the speed at which the better players play this game.
Edit: Now this I never expected and perhaps different teams testing this didn't bother to consider the how difficult and broken the netcode would be. Also, the MP team should've consider the amount of distance, speed, and refresh rate in your ability to thrust would be too much a dynamic for player as a majority to handle especially when you implement a jetpack/vertical thrust into your game when pros know how to abuse a feature.

I replied in the bold.

 

[supernormal]

Wtf? Did people hate advanced warfare seriously? Best COD game in years.

I thought so too, but I only played the SP.
