Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

This game is fantastic. So much so I took yesterday off work and played all day.

Since 10pm Monday night up until around about 10pm last night I have clocked 11 hours according to my Xbox.

I'm absolutely loving it. Those that moan about being shot in the back.... LOL. What, would you prefer the maps are just a straight corridor with no flanking opportunities? It's part of the game, gaining a better position on the enemy.

Campers are little to non existent. I have played 60+ games with a K/D of 1.1, I run (And jump) and gun and don't recall ever getting annoyed with another player camping.

Thing is, I play HC TD or KC. If you insist on playing normal Team Deathmatch etc then you're bound to be playing against the noobs who just want to sit and camp. If you're interested in competitive intense gameplay then my suggestion would be playing some HC.

For those on Xbox One my gamertag is - Sladdy Deeve. Up for some games in the evenings.

I've tried most game modes - CTF seems the best at the moment, least spammy of the lot.

It's not the getting shot in the back for me, it's the many angles you can get shot from, you cannot cover them all off on some maps because people can come from anywhere.

Apart from the UAV with the support add on and the one to see the enemy direction I'm not sure scorestresks are worth having!

I binned them all for other/better gear that suit my style

UAV with Scrambler and Support so I can get around more easy, Bomber run, Paladin for me. IMO bomber run is the best.

I had my doubts after Ghosts but this game is amazing. Really enjoying both SP and MP.

That's exactly it. The level designers know what they're doing - they want maps with more angles than you can cover so people can get easy kills. It's why health is so low in CoD and the guns are so spammy. Everything is geared to give as many people as possible easy kills so everyone comes away happy. Or not, for those of us who grew up when fps were massively better.

The thing with the EXO suit movement is that its getting all the Playstation players prepped for a multiplat release of Titanfall 2.

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

Hmm, you're probably in bed with your night cap on by the time I come online then!

Bloody game crashed on me at the end of a mission, even though I've had checkpoints my progress wasn't saved so I need to start the mission over /sigh

Could do with being able to change the jump button but other than that this is alright...

Oh and it's making my ps4 really really noisy? Disc drive going loads, does it not install to HDD?

Unless you're planning on camping, how is this an issue?

Surely actual warfare is similar. Must be impossible to cover EVERY angle in a situation. That's what team work is for.

The spawn system is my single biggest issue with this game at the moment. Playing with Soulja earlier on one of the biggest maps(can't remember it's name) and I was constantly spawning in front of enemy players. I think I died about 5 times in one match as soon as I'd spawned.
I even played HC TDM which has a 15 second spawn delay, I died and waited 15 seconds and spawned directly in front of somebody! :mad:

So I got killed again and had to wait another 10 seconds to spawn, so essentially I was doing nothing for 25 seconds.

Mine is doing the same. I haven't noticed any way to install to HDD, but would be interested if anyone knows a way? It is producing a lot of heat at the moment!

I thought all PS4 games automatically installed to the HDD, that is why you can't play them instantly when you first put the disc in. Maybe only certain files are installed so still needs to read the disc?

Yes because everybody uses exo suits in actual warfare and is able to boost jump up to higher ground.
