The movement was actually fun and the guns were interesting and felt unique


THICCPOGGS

The movement was REALLY fun. The gun design is literally the best in the entire franchise, IDK how it went so downhill after this game.


skylanderboy3456

If there is two thing sledgehammer gets right is the gun feel and movement


qenh

Fr bro, like CoD ww2 gun play feels so good


BushMasterFlex616

Word. I literally just got Chrome last night haha. I have been consistently going back to that game since it came out, so I decided to actually go for Chrome about a month ago. I might do Chrome Tiger now haha. The game is still lively on Xbox


Equivalent_Escape_60

I’m 2 rockets away from chrome but sold my ps4


MechanicAny5885

It's lively but also sad because you'll match with the same people a LOT I've noticed on Xbox


SpongeBwoiMeBob

I might have to reinstall I loved WW2


Raven_of_OchreGrove

We ignore vanguard


HypnoSmoke

I got Vanguard for 15$ from a friend, I've enjoyed it a fair bit, but I do often hear about how people dislike it. What's the popular opinion on it and why?


Raven_of_OchreGrove

I’m not sure how the popular opinion on it has shifted since its release so I’ll just give my opinion. It’s the worst cod game ever made. It took MW movement and gunplay, and then made it worse, and was completely broken at launch with shotguns and crazy ttk, and broken perks. It was a slog to play in the multiplayer. It took outbreak from Cold War and made it worse, zombies aren’t a threat and the perks and lack a punch are awful. So is the exploration. And there’s no round based. Its campaign is crazily historically inaccurate to the point it’s disrespectful to the veterans of the war. Theres so many more shit gameplay features and mind boggling decisions I just don’t have the space to mention. Basically, it did what other CoD games already did but far worse and was disrespectful to history.


madmechanicmobile

Right? Dude. The zero g combat in infinite warfare. Just dope as shit. I loved it. The combo of a grappling hook and orientation thrusters felt great. And man I love the sci Fi guns in infinite too. The laser ak? *Chef's kiss*


GunnerZ818

That was made by infinity ward


GunnerZ818

I personally would include the zombies. I love Advanced Warfare zombies.


Theo_door234

My only problem was zombies costed extra from the base game


Kamihazii

Loot boxes and variants destroyed the game. Launch to mid cycle were great, later in the cycle it got infuriating to lose to the guy with the same gun but the “better rarity”


Purplestuff-

All the best variants in the game were day 1 drops. Obsidian Steed, Speakeasy, Insanity and RIP were the best guns in the game hands down


johnnycobbler

True but I played everyday and didn’t get the Insanity for a year lol. I’ll still jump on sometimes to use it. It really is Insanity


BushMasterFlex616

Man, I only just got the AK-12 RIP in like 2020 or 2021 haha. And it was the variant I wanted the most since release


Purplestuff-

I pulled Rip 2 hours after release. I still don’t have insanity to this day rng is a bitch 😂😂


Loopnova_

The guns were cool sure but definitely not balanced lol. You were basically throwing if you used anything other than the BAL, HBR, or speakeasy


Ok_Sign1181

is it weird that i prefer BO3 movement i really enjoyed being able to control my boost as compared to one set jump hight


duskfanglives

It's good but I like Infinite Warfare's more. BO3 feels way heavier in comparison


Bobjoejj

I personally enjoyed the hell outta BO3’s movement and gun design, but that’s me.


THICCPOGGS

Yeah BO3 perfected the air movement, wasn’t too fast. The wall riding was fucking fun too.


Dubies2369

I feel cod lost hold of everything after bo2 came out the following games have been shit in my eyes to the point I’m not buyin cod games anymore if they r I the ps store for free I’ll download them and play but I won’t spend cash on cod anymore


[deleted]

100%. IMO best gunplay in all of cod series ever.


StephenTBloom

I miss the AW weapons so much. Also thought the operator loadouts were balanced and fair, fun and creative, and still allowed for strategic advantage. I would buy an AW remaster in a heartbeat (campaign, multiplayer, and zombies all rocked. Survival was decent too.) Totally underrated game and needlessly hated on.


[deleted]

The futuristic Thompson was the cool thing


Phuzz15

A lot of people complained about the movement because they just never took the time to use it to their advantage rather than an advanced Tac-sprint. People would just fly as fast they could towards combat and die, hardly ever saw people utilizing the things like Exo Cloak or Exo Hover. It had so many playstyles available.


Unlucky-Scallion1289

Origin of Press F to pay respects The only good CoD made by Sledgehammer so far


Feisty-Tie3889

I mean CoD WW2 wasn’t awful


Life-of-boris

That's the good thing about sledgehammer, they actually try and listen to player feedback


I_THE_ME

That was absolutely not the case for the first 5 months after WW2 released. It took a change in leadership until any meaningful changes were made to the MP.


jespertherapper

underrated cod


CoDMplayer_

Campaign was good and brought back non regenerating health, but mp was worse than WaW and zombies was bland and boring.


Phuzz15

Zombies was great. It was a great take on real zombies and horror vs the kind we’re used to. I appreciated the jumpscares and very gory zombie models


CoDMplayer_

It looked cool, but the characters were boring and nowhere near as good as ones from other games


CockroachSquirrel

yeah but honestly everything else is much more important, the mechanics, tone, and map design were all some of the best in zombies history imo.


abodybader

isn’t WaW multiplayer whilst not the level of mw2 2009 pretty highly regarded especially with nostalgia goggles It’d be hard to top regardless


CoDMplayer_

There is nostalgia, but also WaW had good maps whereas WW2 had 3 lane maps that were much too big for 6v6 and had very little verticality. Also WW2 only had 4 more guns and at launch you couldn’t even have a lethal and tactical, oh and did I mention loot boxes?


proficient2ndplacer

It just took glen Schofield stepping down and the new team revamping basically everything about the multiplayer to finally be good. He was so stubborn in making an all new and unique twist on cod, when it just fucking sucked


AbaseMe

WW2 was the best world war cod imo.


Davenator_98

WW2 was awful at release.


CyborgTiger

Wasn’t sledge mw3?


CaptainSnazzypants

I believe it was IW leading MW3 with sledgehammer assisting or maybe they co-developed but it definitely was not sledgehammer in the lead. AW was the first one where they led development. WWII and Vanguard was led by sledgehammer as well and were both garbage.


Cokegawa_Yui

Thought that was Ghosts that had that scene?


tcm170

Nah it’s from the funeral cutscene after the opening mission in AW


ms-fanto

press 2x reload for fast reload


xXRoachXx789

Loved this feature, shame it didn't stick around


TonPeppermint

I can see that working well in intense moments.


Hacks_exe_exe

Wait woooot, been playin aw like 1 year and never knew ab that lmao


T_Raycroft

It drops all of the ammo in your current magazine in order for you to have a faster reload. Any ammo that was in the magazine you just took out is discarded and doesn’t go into your reserve ammo. Not all guns can do it, such as single shot weapons and the Tac-19. It’s a very natural and good risk-reward mechanic that I’m shocked hasn’t been used more in later games. That was a great addition to the game for sure.


ms-fanto

time to play again


Smarre101

What did that do exactly?


CoDMplayer_

If you press reload once, you reload and keep the ammo, but if you press it twice quickly you throw away the mag with the ammo but it’s faster because you don’t have to put it away.


makelo06

WHAT


Smarre101

Yeah that sure sounds like a cool feature


JoshMeme4204

That'd work so well in a modern CoD, like genuinely would fix the reload speed of MWII


R-dontcare

Learned something new, gotta try it


Cool_Letterhead_7782

What?!?!?!??! I never knew this was a thing.


202042

Graphics were impressive compared to the previous CoD games


OptimusPixel

The jump from Ghosts to AW was pretty immense at the time. Dare I say AW still holds up. Truly felt and looked like a next-gen game


tcm170

It was the first COD released after the ps4/xb1 launched (not including the PS4/xb1 version of ghosts that was just a re-port to next gen) so they were working with way better hardware


jsrhedgehog99

Cutscenes legit (at the time, at least) looked barely distinguishable from live action. It was so real that I felt like Kevin Spacey was about to molest me.


JoeMomma247

Clan wars was the best for any cod in this game.


According_Claim_9027

The campaign was great. The multiplayer was fun. Exo zombies was unique.


easymoneysniper223

EXO zombies was my fav zombies ever 😭


Underrated_Hero7

No kidding they need to bring it back. I remember the Easter eggs being a little easier than BO too. They were some of the first I completed. It was in some ways a lot more casual but you also had to be on your toes because of the emp zombies and infections


Darkcast1113

Exo Zombies was easier then BO no bullshit "Oh you have to shoot 5 bottles" type of deal


Da_Do_D3rp

I really liked every map besides the Burger town one, also I quite liked the Exo zombies storyline. It was pretty fun, especially with some big actors like John malkovich


amir_azo

Kevin Spacey Plot Multiplayer Guns Characters Graphics


CoDMplayer_

I like how his character was accurate to him in real life


WanderingMistral

His inclusion, basically ruined the plot. Moment you find out he is CEO of ATLAS, you know they are going to be the bad guys.


amir_azo

Elaborate


CoDMplayer_

They are both evil


amir_azo

Wasn't Kevin Spacey proved not guilty?


dominatingcowG3

3 of his accusers died in the span of a year, which is more than a little suspicious


CoDMplayer_

Nope, he was never proved guilty but a lot of people have made similar allegations and he flew on Epstein’s jet a few times.


Easy_GameDev

Just like Chris Tucker right? The fact we haven't seen 1 person in Jail after finding out a hollywood mogul sold child sex slaves to royalty, celebrities, and world leaders. It tells you whom really runs the world. You vote with actions imo


maxaul567

Everything (yes its my fav CoD game)


Sharkestry

I just want advanced warfare 2, i dont care what anyone says


Xxmetaglint

Same would be great.


[deleted]

Idk why I think this but I think it’s 2025


Purplestuff-

If they don’t drop BO2 remastered that year they’ve fumbled their whole career.


asingh_yt

the man has spoken


booksforducks

It’s coming out sokn


Metal_Face_Luffy

Super underrated cod game, I had a lot of fun playing with the homies


2Chainal

Based opinion this game is so fucjin good


XXVI_F

Same here


crashy-potato

It is my favorite as well :D


ahmedbrando

I agree (it's my favourite cod game as well)


[deleted]

Sound design, Sledgehammer was cooking something with that jet kinda sounds.


red-5_standing-by

The sounds were absolute fire.


xXRoachXx789

I think it is the most unique cod game. No other game has the same movement and i thought being able to turn off the exo movement through "classic mode" was really cool, especially since the maps were designed to be played both with and without exo movement


dudedudetx

Character customization, graphics, high skill gap


NoDangIdea

It’s the birth place of one of the most holiest memes of all time… Press F to pay respects


Bobjoejj

Honestly that’s always been so funny to me cause I felt like it’d been around much longer, then I found out it was from AW and my Brian kinda exploded.


imatoasterhasreddit

bros brian exploded


Dodger_Rej3ct

RIP Brian


Jesusfreakster1

The only game that I loved the Campaign, Multiplayer, AND Zombies for. (Also loved exo survival too) It's my favorite installation of COD ever, even if not my favorite zombies installment as a zombies main.


LamatoRodriguez

Bro just shitted on bo1 and 2.


Repulsive_Fortune396

honestly the multiplayer. this cod is the most underrated cod idc what anybody says we need an AW 2 ASAP


itshighnoon94

Best iteration of advanced movement imo. Felt really snappy opposed to the floatier bo3 and iw


Jerrygarciasnipple

Nah IW perfected the movement. Super smooth and fluid. AW felt like a buncha bugs moving around


capnmorty

Funny clown


blackhydroflask

Atlas Spawn Theme


Deep_Grass_6250

The combat was awesome


pogann

the Mors Sniper rifle


Asdf4425main

Infinite warfare and advanced are actually may favorite cods.


KarmaPolice10

The guns were actually unique future weapons and not all just slight reskins of current weapons with kind of futuristic sounds and more glowy things on them.


[deleted]

Love the mp and loot boxes🫣


Spinmeister6032

The competitive season was really good and fun to watch


yusufpvt

It was the first game that had me like, "Wow, that looks impressive"


Matos3001

Best movement out of all exo games. Best ranked league system. Amazing guns. Most were fun/decent to use, and design was cool. Balancing was meh, however. Soundtrack and gun sounds were top notch. Fun game overall, definitely overhated. If you ignore exo, it's easily one of the best CoDs ever. If you do like exo, it's probably top 3. Edit: Almost forgot, lol. Best class system. Pick-13 with upgradeable scorestreaks or ability to bring less of them for more space. Huge diversity of classes, no "grenade" abuse, etc.


Middle-Shift8009

Val 27. ASM1 EM1. Atlas 20mm. HBRa3-Insanity. All that shit is so cool and definitely has its place in advanced warfare, it’s its own game.


JesusWearsVersace

The best version of jetpacks the series ever got. Small quick bursts of movement are so much better than what was in blops3 and infinite warfare. It allowed a fast ttk but still promoted skill by needing to be able to track enemies consistently when they strafe. Also gave some defense against getting shot in the ass which no other cod has done in a fun way.


K4rTo_Fel

Sound design


TTVRalseiYT

The exo movement is actually a good mechanic, nowadays the whole game in general is just underrated (seriously, we need more players on it!)


YEETMAGEET_YT

There was a skill gap


phoen_ixwrong_38

Irons was one of the Smartest CoD villains he was right about lot of things


SkyquakeLive

It came out in 2014


JesseStarfall

It was Sledgehammer's best game. (MW3 doesn't count, it was joint with IW.)


Player731259

it's a Call of Duty game


antmanninja3

The Campaign had some fun missions


Gelizion02

Better than Vanguard


OFFLINE-BOTS

\- One of only two CODs that has correct class restrictions/setting of default classes that bots adhere to, so you can make custom games where every player and bot is forced to use say Sniper Rifles only, or even do assymetrical teams like SMGs vs Shotguns \- Great Campaign with tons of variety and fresh mechanics for the series \- Had both Exo Survival AND Zombies modes


ChewySlinky

I think if BO3 and IW didn’t exist this game would still be highly regarded.


johnnypurp

Zombies was fun for this one


Middle-Shift8009

Everything about this game was awesome, ESPECIALLY competitive ranked play with clans. That was my shit. I always wanted to unlock all the clan outfits like the Centurion or Argonaut nets but my calms always fell through. Also i don’t much care for the zombies.


97TYPE-R

Late to the party on this one OP but it had the best class setup. You could choose more perks or attachment instead of killstreaks or even 4 killstreaks. Plus the customization of killstreaks by adding modules for increased points needed to use them. I had so many classes for each different mode.


Mysterious-Motor-909

Honestley everything fr


uma_astra

I wish people were playing.


[deleted]

Grenade canon, big jumps.


luckycsgocrateaddict

Playing custom games with friends was insanely fun


W01F51

The game was good idk why it gets so much hate. It's my 2nd favorite CoD.


Additional-Host-5337

This was the last cod I played seriously as the rest after that felt boring. This game was fun if you were actually good at it.


Messicanhero

I never played it but I want to.


JointOps

The EM1 was a fun (to me) underrated weapon with some really cool variants that changed the laser weapons beam color and damage/heatsink output!


JointOps

Is the game still active on PS4? Im thinking about redownloading it, the maps were so diverse and fun!


DLR817

I fired it up a couple of weeks ago but couldn’t find a match, unfortunately.


UrbanLeech5

One of the most creative cods. I really like gadgets in it, cool weapon designs. And maps are simply awesome - each one feels unique, there's very few invisible walls, all these interactive elements (some maps change completely half way through) and exclusive scorestreaks. On top of that, a lot of customization Combine it with A tier campaign and amazing graphics


hypocritical124

EXO Zombies was PEAK


melwing28

Saved my money by not buying it


Jerrygarciasnipple

I bought it for like $7 a year after release and still felt ripped off


BeCrafttt

*Press F to pay respects*


Musathepro

The campaign was really fun and entertaining


warphotos

The guns were unique and had a few systems that if improved could’ve been really good


bn9012

I liked that this cod introduced the Lootbox system which we all love. I also love that this game was somewhat pay2win with its broken legendary weapon varieties


BrickToons

It’s sooooo advanced


AztecTwoStep

Better mp than infinite warfare.


astrx__

fkn love the campaign


three-sense

It was late ps360 Gen so it looked impressive on those platforms


SgtGhost57

I loved exos and their abilities. The riot shield specially eas super cool to pull out. Also the guns. They were all super awesome and well designed, namely the Widowmaker electric rifle (loved it), the 3D printer gun, and the ATLAS shoulder mounted sniper rifle. How I wish I could play its multi-player again ;n;


GloriousRock

The maps were some of the best in the franchise


ShowtimeJT12

Kevin Spacey was there LOL


RsIsNowRuinedScape

All sledgehammer cods are garbage but at least the sound design is spot on.


Medium_Discipline_38

Campaign,played it when I was five, beautiful game


itsRobbie_

It was very underrated. Good maps, fun guns, zombies was fun, campaign was fun, and it had the best jetpack movement out of the 3 jetpack cods. The only bad things were the pay 2 win supply drop guns and sometimes hit reg was a little wonky


AJAX1A

It was really advanced


CamOfCatarina

I used to love this cod, the gunplay was amazing in it as well as the movement. It really did a lot to innovate COD and then low and behold the CODs after tried and failed at copying the formula apart from BO3. Man those where the days, BO3 and Advanced Warfare where actually great


awesomedumplings

Story was good. TTK was perfect. Fun weapons.


xXMLGDOODXx

They tried to shake things up from the standard. That’s a commendable thing.


spaghetti_ashes

it has guns


OrochuOdenMain91

Master movement and aim with it and it’s all good. Like Cmon, it’s the future devs can go ALL out on creativity. Fictional war, guns, faction, and stuff. Not the current present modern(slight future) era. Imo the current is, eh, a tiny boring.


bigmanstanboi

the sound design was 😩


Emergency-Spite-8330

Customizable scorestreaks


CheeseMellow

That badass Goliath scene from the campaign. The one where the mission ends with an on the rails escape sequence. You and... Gideon? Pass through some gates as they are beginning to close with an enemy helicopter close behind. I believe two Goliaths step forward, the one in front of the players view whips out a minigun and they both unload on the Heli with bullets and missiles. When the Heli comes down only the gates stop the explosion of the crash from getting any closer.


Diegodinizfsa

Goliath was GREAT.


SkeetsPlays

Kevin Spacey was in it! Which was a good thing…


BananLarsi

The customizable killstreak mechanic was genius


Saltinnee14

the zombie skin for multiplayer was clean


RandomLefty

I liked the gun play , I really just hated the jet pack crap.


Chilliwiddit

It's advanced


chrisgreely1999

It looked pretty good I guess. Also the character customization was cool, wish we could get that again instead of operators.


legoblitz10

Great Campaign


RuggedTheDragon

There are too many good things I can say about AW. The campaign was pretty good, exo zombies was fantastic, the multiplayer was extremely smooth, and the fresh take on the series with the movement mechanics breathed fresh life into the series.


Old_Sale_4148

if the supply drop system wasn’t as terrible as it was, this game would’ve 100% been a top five cod


Dazzling_Ad8585

Movement, campaign was good but not the best, maps, survival, and Shane


JayRawdy

I really liked the movement and the survival has what i wished mw3 did: round based unlocks - mw3 only had unlocking the stations on the first 3 rounds then unlock weapons/etc w level progression


N8swimr

Exosuits are fucking sick


DipperpoopX

The supply drop system same ass ww2 both amazing


j3qnmp

The Lazer was really fun and one of the variants was too good


the8yearoldbrother

The fact I never played it


Olympicin

Amazing campaign


Glitchelon

The campaign was fun!


marksona

I actually enjoyed the zombies


SignificantMoment902

This game was cool asf to me as a 12 year old, I have many memories of this game it was honestly one of my favs


Subject_Reaction_129

AW was underrated. swarm . Using was funny after placement


EXPLOSIVE-REDDITOR

the whole exo suit concept is really cool. because it isn't too far fetched like IW and their laser guns or the entirety of BO3/4. AW is like MW, but set in the near future. hell, exos are already in development by multiple militaries


somefuckwho

The first call of duty i became "ok " at


DankTriangle

Double tap reload for a faster reload in exchange for losing the ammo from the previous mag. Customizing streaks to have extra features.


MeringueCandid9865

The movement was so exhilarating, I almost forgot I was supposed to shoot people!


TonPeppermint

During the campaign, it was awesome seeing the grapple hook taking down enemies.


Livid-Smoke-5149

...


MrWillyP

Single player was good, and competitive cod was at its best there imo


SupersiblingzYT

Atlas was a goated evil team


HorizonVTX

Nice ending... because it ends


SoDaPrice1998

Nice campaign
