Does nobody else play Hardcore then? I don't wanna be a billy no mates

I think I fall in to that catergory unfortunately, though I have a 4 day weekend this weekend so going to go through campaign and really bash MP. I figure by the end of 4 days I will either have learnt to love it or be so sick of it I will be glad to sell it.

Edit: Shame we can't merge Destiny and COD, everything from COD but on Destiny maps would be perfect IMO.

I agree with @Quinnaay. The game is the first since MW that has made me want to get back and play.

Is there any loan gunners that need a home? I want to compete in the Clan Wars but we need a third man, only by name, no obligation to actually game with us if they don't want. But anyone is welcome.

Most people who are playing the game know there were Exo suits I'm the game prior to buying.. If people didn't want that why buy it? Which would explain why the classic modes aren't as popular.. That plus COD has become stale and I applaud SHG for the gamble they have taken which for the majority has payed of.

I agree with faded, I said it last night that after 1 year of this exo movement the next CoD is going to be so alien to play it will feel really slow in comparison.

I don't think exo stuff will feature in Treyarchs game.

Quinnaay · 5 Nov 2014 at 11:02

I also don't see a Exo suit in the next Installment but I enjoyed BO2 and I'm sure I can adapt again but it would depend on what era they decide to make the next game around.

The thing is, even with classic modes no one ever plays them. We all loved 3-5-7 and one air unit at a time. Yet when a game came out (iirc mw2) with tonnes of air units but a classic mode of 3-5-7 no one wanted to play it. I could never understand that.

I lost interest after Blops, maybe even MW2. 3-5-7 was so much better for me and routes round maps in domination that meant after spawning you pretty much ran to meet again face to face. Also after playing Gears for a long while I just cannot play a shooter that is p2p anymore. To me that's just wasted time on my connection.

I will no doubt play the campaign like everything else from blops onwards and not touch the MP at all. What's veteran like this time?

MW4 was a hella long time ago. That was essentially the first of the really popular twitchy shooters and nobody picked it up and was immediatly awesome at it. Now you have players in most games going 25/4 from day one. You need to accomodate and reward that level of play. Most consistently good players aren't happy with just a good K/D at the end of the game. They want that 12 kill streak reward motivation. I get what your saying though, I miss it too.

Loving it so far, really good fun! Add me on Xbox Live Tp1874!

Nope, I was replying to his daft comment with another one.

I played lots of team death match and found it very enjoyable, in fact its getting better as I get more familiar with the maps and start seeing the common choke points. There are far less campers in team death match too.

Initially when I was dying a lot I was just running and gunning on the ground, over time I've changed my play style and I always work my way to higher ground, and then pick people off, shoot them in the back as they run past for a change

For me personally playing classic mode in this game feels ****. The maps have been designed with the Exo abilities in mind, while you can still climb up on some higher points in classic, it is nowhere near as intuitive as double jumping.

I honestly feel if the next call of duty doesn't have similar abilities that advance warfare will carry on having a solid community.

I've never clicked with the slow and steady "tactical" shooters, and for me advanced warfare fits my style of play, I'm crap and still finish low down the scoreboard but I'm enjoying myself rather than getting frustrated.

All I'd say to those who hate it is it's worth selling to cex while it's worth £35 cash. Life's too short to force yourself to play a game that annoys you, or you dislike. Honestly if I hated it I'd just play something else. There are too many games for me to be wasting gaming time playing a game that makes me want to throw my controller at the wall.

What's your clan name? I'll add you to my friends list as I saw you reply saying you play HC in other AW thread.

For a time on MW2 we used to play HC exclusively, I really enjoyed it. Haven't tried HC on this but am willing to give it a bash!

So far I'm enjoying this, had a good night on it last night and once I learn the damn maps it'll be better.

Soulja is convinced it's full of campers but I find HC a lot less annoying. On Core I can't even go positive yet on HC I've gone positive in every single game I've played. It's also slightly less HC then previous games as it takes a couple of bullets to kill but it's still fun. I just play HC TDM and KC.

What time are you usually on? I've missed you the past couple of nights.

HC is something I have enjoyed on MW2 and MW3 and willing to give it a go on this so if I see you on I shall join you.

On and off during the day depending on work but it's almost impossible to play due to constant phone calls. Then probably from 6pm till I feel old and need to go to sleep

I just had a game and whilst the connections were **** it was slightly enjoyable, especially when hearing this one gay rage all the time when I kept killing him

It's the lack of dedicated servers that got to me. In a game like this it would be so much better than having lobbies full of red and yellow pings. Traded it into cex for £35. If they ever bring out dedicated servers I might pick it up again

Just picked this up and Im enjoying it, only thing is I hate playing alone so if anyone wants to add me on PS4 then my GT is J4K3_M90
