Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Tom Clancy's Advance Warfighter called, they want title back.

Hyped for Hyperdimension Neptunia V 2

So, they're finally bringing COD to the GBA? About damn time.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I'm still waiting for the game where it is modern military vs fantasy heroes and monsters.

Read: We wanted to spend some of those billions we were getting. We decided to use it on his paycheck.
Does this mean we get a Hyperspace Arsenal?

Doesn't a game called Crysis have this already? Not complaining, just wondering.

So, Hyperspace Arsenal.

So, hoverbikes in multiplayer please?

Welcome to Call Of Duty: Frickin' Laser Beams edition.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

It looks cool, but my only experience with the series thus far was a rental of Black Ops II. Got as far as the first of those "tower defense" type levels, and ended up returning it, because the experience was just too...directed.

I dunno, it felt less like playing a game, and more like following stage directions, with instant death awaiting the moment you do something not in the script. Like that time early on where you have to deal with the radio operator; you have a sniper rifle, there's an open window in front of you, and you can see the operator's head. So I line up my shot, pull the trigger...and the guy's head is bullet proof. And worse, it alerts all the enemies in the area, who are mostly bullet proof and do way more damage than normal, because stealth sequence. Not to mention the sequence where it looks like you're gonna fight a tank on horseback and it turns out to be a cutscene with a couple of QTE prompts.

I see all this cool stuff, and it just leaves me wondering...how much do I actually get to play, and how much of it is just scripted events? I mean, I would not be surprised if your exoskelton's crazy jumping abilities were only available on specific hotspots where the plot mandated its use.

What is Kevin Spacey doing? He must need the cash.

Schild und Schwert der Partei

Kevin Spacey is rich. This is probably one of those "doing it for my kids/nephews/nieces thing".

Ok so three things I'll note: 1. I'm assuming this is a sequel to the Modern Warfare trilogy right (only because it has "Warfare" in the name, and Ghosts and Black Ops (well Black Ops 2 because you can plausibly fit WAW and BO 1 in the MW timeline) are clearly alternate AU's and this one takes place after MW 3.

2. Why aren't they calling this one "Call of Duty: Future Warfare"? Like, are they waiting until they go full-out Crystal Spires and Togas with Lazer Rifles (to my understanding this one has Lazers but they're not completely replacing bullets yet,) Super Robots and Space Battles to use the "Future Warfare" name?

3. Well, what about that alt-WWI game that was rumored? I could just be fan wanking here, but I'm gonna guess there has to be some truth to this rumor and assume it's the next Treyarch game. I mean, considering how popular Steampunk is with the dorks, the rumors of a Grimdark Steampunk alt-WWI game aren't completely implausible (even if that sounds a bit too much like what Advanced Warfare is doing.)

I'm pretty sure this isn't a sequel to the Modern Warfare series.

If by rumoured you mean "was entirely fabricated by one guy on a site that pays users based on how many hits their articles get".

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Dude I wouldn't even know about that. A friend told me something about that one (at least, that Treyarch may be doing some weird WWI thing) but I wouldn't have a damn clue about its origin. Eh, whatever then.

Now wait, they did they say it wasn't an MW sequel. I dunno, I thought it was because it has "Warfare" in the name (like MW) but if it's not, then whatever then.

They could pull the plot out of their ass, like something like... After MW 3, 90% of the worlds militaries became basically useless in the aftermath of that global conflict, allowing the "teh evulz" PM Cs to rise. Then, I dunno, Kevin Spacey attacks the USA or some shit because it's Call of Duty and they have to do some stupid-ass plot.

Did they ever say Advanced Warfare isn't an MW sequel? If they haven't said it isn't I'm kinda gonna assume it is (well at least right now.)

They definitely want to make some sort of connection to Modern Warfare, what with the title.

Man, now I'm kinda bummed. A WW 1 game would be awesome.

Think you'd need eastern front stuff though, everything else was dull trenches

Oh really when?

You're forgetting Africa.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Heck, Turkey had some decent conflicts with the Armenians and a few other neighbors too. Had cannons, artillery, horseback cavalry, machine guns, and rifles to boot!

Never been more interested in a Co D game than after seeing the trailer.

I thought the same thing after watching the BO 2 trailer. And the MW 3 trailer.

Then I found the actual game wasn't even fun to watch on You Tube, much less play.

I don't find most games fun to watch on youtube...

^ The only ones I find fun to watch on You Tube are Touhou videos because they be crazy fools who are often either fucking around, legitimately trying only to epically fail or they are making everyone look like kindergarten gamers in how well they do the stage.

"Allah may guide their bullets, but Jesus helps those who aim down the sights."

Yeah, that could work! Call of Duty: Genocidal Warfare, coming soon to stores near you! Pre-order now at Gamestop to get the limited Lebensraum edition, including exclusive in-game content such as the srbosjek, the Maxim gun, and the Babi Yar DLC.

More seriously, no company will touch that with a ten-foot barge pole, and rightly so. It's still illegal to acknowledge the Armenian genocide in Turkey, for instance.

So...I've never wanted to play a Call of Duty title in my life...but damn if I'm not a huge Kevin Spacey fan. If he's Underwooding it up in the campaign, I am so down to play this.

And for people saying he's doing it for the paycheck, or as a So My Kids Can Watch situation...ever consider that he's doing it because it's just plain fun? Or that he might have wanted to try a different kind of acting (performance capture) in a medium he's not familiar with (video games)? Actors love to try new things. Fricking Robert Redford, one of the elder statesmen of the craft, has flat-out said that he took his role in Captain America 2 because he wanted the experience of working in the new landscape of digital filmmaking.

Or hell, that he might even be a fan of the franchise! He played Killzone on-screen in House of Cards, and was doing it correctly. Clearly he has at least casual experience with first-person shooters.

Is that a PS Vita?

They did; that was the Origins Zombies map.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

I've worked out why they got Spacey to do it: because the usual useless political arse-gazers would write endless articles about how this was what a Frank Underwood presidency would look like, giving the game free publicity. Sledgehammer Games, yuo are of genious.

Schild und Schwert der Partei

Just rewatched the trailer and wow.

Did anyone else notice that one of the futurey gadgets appears to be a portable chest-high wall?

Ryuhza: I said that he was familiar with games, not that he wrote his dialogue. :/

Achaemenid: I think Call of Duty with the amount of publicity it already has. Which is so much that it's one of very few franchises created since 2000 that everybody has heard about.
