Sledgehammer Games (http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/22/5641740/call-of-duty-2014-first-image).

"This year's game also represents the first in a new three-year-long development cycle for each title, as Sledgehammer joins Infinity Ward and Treyarch as lead developers on annual Call of Duty games."


The player model looks amazing! Doubt it's enough to get me back into COD, though.

So then I'm guessing something new. Black Ops is Treyarch's baby, same with Modern Warfare and Ghosts for Infinity Ward. Just not sure where or when Sledgehammer will base their game after what we've seen in the Modern Warfare, Black Ops and Ghosts series.

Sledgehammer Games, so JB is probably right thinking it will be MW4, since they worked on MW3. Although... Call of Duty 4 was called Modern warfare and it could get confusing to the average COD player, with repetitive numbers involved. I think Activision should go with something like, "C.O.D." Make it look like a reboot but in reality it is just an easy way of restarting the numerical process, avoiding the disaster that would be forcing their players to start using digits on another hand to keep up. ;)

Ah, I didn't know they worked on MW3. I hardly touched that game, just never cared for it and stopped playing it by December. Alright, in that case I could see them doing something along the lines of a Modern Warfare 4 since IW has fires up the Ghosts series.

To me, the gameplay of Ghosts is so slow. I'm too used to Titanfall and Battlefield 4.

This is the slowest gameplay I've ever seen in a CoD game. That is part of it not being as enjoying for me.

Dedicated servers are the big thing for me. However, having played Battlefield 4 and COD Ghosts after extensively playing Titanfall, making it about 100 times faster may be a requirement, too. :D

Also, map design. This series hasn't had good competitive maps since Modern Warfare 2, which is just gross considering Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 had some of the best maps I've played on. Of course, I realize virtually the entire Infinity Ward team left after Modern Warfare 2, which explains the sudden downgrade in map quality, but having decent maps offsets some of the BS that every Call of Duty game comes with.

All based on insider information. Insider information from the same people who said Activision would make an announcement that the timed exclusive DLC for Xbox would no longer be happening. Shockingly, it's already been confirmed DLC will still released one month in advance for Xbox platforms.

Kind of a retarded thing to have "insider" information about, though. The console with 50% more raw power is going to have better graphics? I think I'll start claiming I'm an insider if that's all it takes. :D

You have to realize that recent Call of Duty games have taught players to camp for a few kills, and then get the majority of their kills on killstreaks. From what I've read, they wanted to get back to the gun on gun action, and that's exactly what I want to hear.

Honestly, minus the Titans, that's pretty much what it is. I know they went for super agility movement, but the movement isn't nearly as good as it is in Titanfall. It feels really jerky and limited in Advanced Warfare.

Nonetheless, massive improvement over Ghosts. It's very fast paced and the time to kill is just a tad bit longer. All the new ways to move + longer time to kill = much more interesting and rewarding gun battles.

It's still Call of Duty, even if the gun play is a lot better. Spawns are still laughable, lag is still there, etc...It's basically Call of Duty with better gun play and more mobility. The head scratching thing to me is the design of some of the maps. Solar is one of the worst designed maps I've EVER played on in ANY game. It's laughable how bad it is. At least it's not like Ghosts where all the maps sucked.

It could be that I haven't played Call of Duty in awhile (literally played Ghosts for an hour), but the net code seems to be more screwed than it usually is. I've had constant lag in just about every game I've played so far. Yikes, hopefully it's just first day overload...although the fact that it's still using ancient P2P is the more likely cause, IMO.

It's possible you haven't. If you have a poor connection, chances are everything will appear perfectly fine for you. Anyone with a decent connection is going to get lag compensation out the ass. I played maybe 5 games last night and called it. There's just way too many instances of me getting 4 or 5 hits into someone and then they one shot me due to lag. It's not fun and it blows my mind that we're in 2014 and the biggest shooter of them all is still using garbage P2P and lag compensation. :fp:

It's sad, because the game would be really fun and the best Call of Duty since 4 if it didn't lag.

Yet another really short Story Mode. I know it is not what most of you play COD for but there really needs to be more for the single player. Will only cost me $20 once I trade it in but still lacking in bang for the buck. Once again 60fps really shows after playing so much Destiny at 30. The graphics were above par but some of the textures and lack of effects (no footprints in snow) were a let down.

The grappling stealth mission was oddly enjoyable. Hardly ever using most of the new tools at your disposal, as there was little need, was a low point. Did not use the riot shield once and can't remember where it would have come in handy. The story was just more COD rabble with Kevin Spacey thrown in and an ending that was even more disappointing than I was expecting, for both the story and the gameplay aspect. So many of the guns just feel the same to me. Outside the laser gun, there really was nothing advanced about them.

P.S. A big FU to the QTE. Please stop bombarding games with this crap and for the love of all things round and made of dough, stop using them for bosses and ending games on a button press you see on the screen. Press [ ] to dismember own arm. What a novel concept.

Ugh, sounds like an equally shitty campaign compared to Ghosts. The campaigns have turned to utter shit over the years. I miss the good campaigns of the old days.

The faster pace is definitely playing to my advantage for k/d. I'm doing a lot better than the past couple CoD's especially Ghosts. I didn't play much of that though.

Someone at Monolith needs to reboot the NOLF series. They knew how to make a kick ass FPS. Ironically Raven Software is part of the COD:AW team and Soldier of Fortune series was a pretty damn good. The first two, the third was crap.

Yet another really short Story Mode. I know it is not what most of you play COD for but there really needs to be more for the single player. Will only cost me $20 once I trade it in but still lacking in bang for the buck. Once again 60fps really shows after playing so much Destiny at 30. The graphics were above par but some of the textures and lack of effects (no footprints in snow) were a let down.

The grappling stealth mission was oddly enjoyable. Hardly ever using most of the new tools at your disposal, as there was little need, was a low point.

Alright, so I finished the campaign tonight. It was somewhat short, but it was a lot better than Ghosts. 15 missions wasn't too shabby, and some of the missions had some decent length to them. It could be better, but it wasn't as short as I thought it would be. A good bit of the story itself was rather ridiculous, but being that it's supposed to be 2050-2060, I'll overlook it. Some missions I actually had fun on and things were nicely different than usual. I don't know, I'll have to see if I end up going back to the campaign again, something I never did in Ghosts.

I agree on the QTEs. Jesus Christ it was QTE after QTE after QTE throughout the campaign. God that got annoying fast.

As for multiplayer, I have only just dabbled into it a little bit tonight. I've only played two maps (Ascend and Horizon), so I can't comment on what I think of the maps just yet. I will say, at the moment, I REALLY like playing Uplink. It's like some futuristic version of football with guns. :D Being able to pass the Satellite Drone from teammate to teammate, being able to score by either carrying the drone into the goal for two points or throwing it like a football for one point, I've actually found Uplink to be the game mode I've had the most fun in so far.

I can't yet say how much time I'll put into public multiplayer. I just have never been able to play public multiplayer on Call of Duty since Modern Warfare 2. MW2, I lived and breathed multiplayer the entire year until Black Ops came out. Since then, I don't know, I just haven't been able to stick with it. Too much stupidity. Thankfully, Private Match has essentially become a permanent fixture in every CoD game since then, so I've been able to still enjoy playing multiplayer, just in private matches with friends and bots. I'll have to see, this may be the game that gets me back into public multiplayer for the full year for the first time since MW2. It certainly helps having a slight feel of Titanfall to it with the exosuits and the XS1 Goliaths. Having just a slight underlying hint and feel of Titanfall has made it easier to just pick up and go without any issues.

Now that I think about it, now I know why I love Uplink so much. It's a LOT like Oddball in Halo. You take possession of the Satellite Drone, you can't use your weapons, you just get extra health/shield and all you can do is sprint for the goal and bash people to death with the drone, exactly like Oddball in Halo. Seeing as Oddball is one of my favorite old school Halo game modes, it explains perfectly why I'm loving Uplink.

I like the Christmas themed Drift the best. Sideshow is a little too wide open and camp friendly, but the theme and playing it are very fun, I just like Drift a little better.

Drift is a good map. Probably my second favorite of the map pack. There's just something about Sideshow that makes it so enjoyable. The bombs certainly help push it over the top. :)

Definitely, and the laughing clown. Just wish there wasn't so many open spaces.

Yeah, the open spaces can be a problem. I've found it works well with stuff like Momentum. With the moving goals in Momentum, it keeps the gameplay and firefights moving around the map instead of just being able to camp.

It also helps in the opposite. Campers are easier to spot and kill since they are more exposed.

I got it XB1 back when it released. Took advantage of the free upgrade so I could still fuck around in it on my 360 with my best friend (who hasn't upgraded to XB1 or PS4 yet) whenever our days off from work align, and then can play it on XB1 during the other times I play.

I figured that, with the mention of Sideshow and the new DLC. I've been playing it the entire month of February. :D

Yeah, I may make the transition of shooters over to PS4. I'll probably get Hardline on PS4 since the majority of you guys here will be playing it on that.

The clown map is my least favorite, because of the wide open spaces. I like close-medium range combat. I had to make a new class just for that map smh.

At least the snipers on top of the bathrooms are busy looking at that area and you can sneak up on them easy.

I hate the sewer end of the map where campers sit though.
