Metacritic: 85

Gamespot: 7/10

THE GOOD

Multiplayer specialists offer initial novelty

Zombies is a weird, rewarding cooperative experience

Varied, well designed multiplayer maps

THE BAD

Boring, incomprehensible campaign

Co-op is more of a slog than single-player

Little multiplayer variety after 10 hours

Also, hyping this 9/10

Get it launch day. Play through the campaign. Throw it on the pile.

Like every COD since Black Ops.

Is the campaign worth 60 every year ?

Not really. But it's like Nintendo games. They never drop in price, so you might as well get it over with.

What is your hype for the game?

Dunno.. 8 sounds alright.

I'm getting this. Skipped AW and Ghosts but I really enjoyed the beta.

The multiplayer beta was fun, if they won't **** up the SP part it can be a winner.

Knowing Treyarch, they probably will, so i'll go with an 8.

8

Yeah like I was thinking: they never go down in price;

I wanna play advanced warfarez SP

AA

Eh, AAA, I guess. BOps 1 was my favorite CoD and, though I did not like the creative direction that 2 went that didn't mean it was a bad game by any means. I'm on the fence about getting this one until I see some reviews but if it's better than BOps 2, I probably will.

Actually looking forward to this (at sub $20), Treyarch makes the best cod games and i'd like to play at least one next gen cod. Nice to hear the Zombie mode is getting more content this time and hopefully it's meaty even without the dlc. After this though the series can go die.

I can see it getting a 9 but i'll go with AA.

AA.

Still the shooter of the holiday...Halo who?

^ Ever since Ghosts, the prices of Call of Duty games have been dropping faster than before.

As such, I'll wait until it drops below $25 on PC. The only reason I play these games is because I've played and beaten every one of these on Veteran (except Ghosts, which I just bought for $7). Interested on that "Realistic" mode for BO3.

AA probably

AAA

i'd be surprised at AA, since all it took was jetpacks to redeem the series from Ghosts. now there are jetpacks and parkour.

8/10

Nope out of 10.

8. Not getting it either...

8/10 , AA is my guess.

I'm going to vote 9/10. CoD is normally on point with every iteration.

bad titanfall clone/10

7/10 -A- tbh not hyped at all

You mean CoD is 9/10?!

Well to people that are into that kind of thing, yes, they always provide a solid experience.

The only COD games I got last gen were the Treyarch ones, I will continue this trend. IMO they do COD the best, especially cause Zombies is so much fun! I'm hyping this a 9.

Im hyping a 9, i hear a bunch of people say they have been impressed by the classes and skills that go with said classes.

Well lets take a look at previous Gamespot Reviews from most of the past Call of Duty games..

Call of Duty Black Ops = 9.0

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 = 8.0

Call of Duty: World at War = 8.5

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare = 7.0

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 = 8.5

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 = 8.5

Call of Duty: Ghosts = 8.0

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare = 8.0

So I think an accurate prediction would be AA.

Shit game for shitstation 4 and shit gamers

8.0 probably. I liked Black Ops 2 a lot, especially the campaign and its choices.

... but its not exclusive?

It's Treyarch, I expect the multiplayer to be absolutely amazing, but the rest of the package will be middeling (campaign) or complete garbage (zombies).

I choose to hype this nothing because I can't possibly understand how anyone can be hyped for Call of Duty anymore.

-10/10

They're fun and they run smoothly. In my case I haven't spent a ton of time with the multiplayer except in black ops 1. I've only played the treyarch games starting with black ops 1 and also ghosts (only for the wii mote controls) so i'm not burnt out on them yet, but this'll be my last one unless they do something crazy with the franchise.

It's simple, these games, and especially the ones by Treyarch, are amazing for what they are.

@nyadc: cause opinions exist.

Treyarch has done great campaigns, what are you talking about? Black Ops, and to a lesser extent Black Ops II were great, man.

Probably a 7/10 game. Worth playing, but nothing special just like all the other CODs. They always package the games well enough with the high production values, but when you reflect on them... they lack the substance to truly make them great.

AA. it's Cod at the end of the day and I don't see anything groundbreaking to lift it to a 9.

However It will sell millions and the bundle will propel PS4 sales into the stratosphere.

4/10.

@_Matt_: Sooo not hyped for this game since as of Sunday, most of my online friends are not getting it.

I think it will score a 9.

Honestly don't get the hype FPS get. More of the same with some little tweaks but overall the same experiences over and over. Enjoy the game I guess if you like that genre.

Give it a 9.

I've never purchased a Call of Duty title, though of course I know they're insanely popular and I've played roughly half of them with friends.

That said, unless they have dramatically increased the TTK in comparison to earlier titles, I won't be interested.

With more or less instantaneous kill times, the only requisite skill seems to be who can get their cross-hair on the target first. Apparently this is why CoD "pros" play at insanely high controller sensitivity.

The ability/time to register and respond to being attacked is a signature trait of shooters with higher skill caps and that unfortunately seems to be totally lacking from the CoD titles.

I'm expecting an 8 from GS. I think it's gonna be another 10/10 game like all the other CoDs.

@StormyJoe: I'll play it online with you* :)
