New Call of Duty has downsides, still runs smooth

Amazing is one word that describes the new Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The game came out on Nov. 3, 2014. Before I even started moving the character I was in love with the game. The graphics in the cutscenes are unbelievable, even with the old generation Xbox 360.

The campaign the story line is decent, with Kevin Spacey being a key role in the game I honestly think was the entire thing he was an amazing voice actor for the game. He plays the owner of Atlas a military company that serves for no but stands alone being hired to fight wars for other countries. Also during the middle of a mission it will pause and load a new part of the game, taking away from the smoothness of the game.

Most people after they beat the campaign go straight into multiplayer and this is where the game has some flaws. In most maps there are ways to get out of the map to the point where you can sit in a closed room and kill enemies from outside the map without being killed, and the spawns are the worst in Call Of Duty history — To the point where if I kill an enemy and turn around they will spawn in the same spot and kill you–. There are also some of the guns that are overpowered and out match any of the others making the players that have them better in gunfights.

In other words the new “Exo Suit” is one of the best things about the game the way it works and feels is amazing. It adds a whole new aspect to the Call of Duty franchise. Along with the new suit comes new abilities like a cloak where your player turns transparent, a speed boost where you can sprint for a longer amount of time. You can now double jump which adds a new feel to the game.

Even with some downsides the game runs smooth and looks great.
