Advanced Warfare, I Really Want To Hate You But...

I think you will be hard pressed to find another person who has more disdain for COD or who loves to hate it more than me. That being said I really want to hate this game but for the life of me I just can't. In fact it is too darn fun.
Granted I only play bots and I might (after getting used to some stuff) play online (probably not) but so far it has been a pretty enjoyable game.
There are a couple of things that are a little grr inducing like not really having a counter to the invisible dudes. And how to jump up to things. It is like I got the only retard jet pack in the bunch. I have the Overcharge perk and the EXO Hover thingy but for some reason it is like instead of weighing 90lbs I weigh as much as your average bus and all I do is hover.
Anyway I hope to update this with experiences good or bad, this will be my first attempt to really get into a COD since MW2 so I hope people participate, pointers and this time I promise to be receptive to pointers.
EDIT: Okay figured out the jump thing.

So far I have played every map and none of them stand out for me as awesome. Then again none of them give me groan and say "not this map" when I see it either. I think I need to play them a lot more so today I think I will devote to COD:AW. Minus normal things like a shower, eating or going to the bathroom, not all at the same time.
So far I find myself liking playing without killstreaks and without taking an exo ability.

Because you're not playing on-line. I refuse to play Solar ever again. Nicely designed map, but it plays like ass with this community.
And Greenband. Should be an ultra-fast paced, run and gun map. Instead, it's a hide and seek and check every corner... oops, so sorry, you checked 3 but the 4th killed you map.
Actually, come to think of it, Detroit is kind of bad too. Keeps getting voted on though. Might be all of the little rooms people can hide in. Not the worst map. Just kind of plain.

Agreed. UAVs are nice. But other than the Paladin, the killstreaks all kind of suck. And the Exo abilities aren't that great. I'd rather another attachment or perk.

I like the announcer thing, that and the general feel of the game gives it an 'Enemy Territory: Quake Wars' feel. Which ET:QW was an awesome game if any of you ever get a chance to play it I would do it.
EDIT: I was not able to play this today until now, I was working on my DayZ server, tomorrow... tomorrow I will make an Advanced Warfare day all day minus gym time of course.

Should the SAC3 when you are using rapid fire on overkill be Akimbo or is that a bug? Happened to me last night but I forgot to mention it.

Poop!
And
So... I went against the grain and played one match PvP, enough to get to level 4. I wanted that cool pink gun.
This is how it went.
At first I was like:
Then after the first two campers, after the round was over I was like:
All in all it was not horribly terrible. I just prefer my bots.
EDIT: The game has an oldschool UT Quake feel to it. Anyone that has played those games knows what I am talking about. You cannot really describe it but you notice it instantly while playing. It really is like reminiscing. I am still holding off on my like or dislike but for now I would say it is refreshing. The Exo abilities are such that they are not game breaking, meaning that if you do not take any you are not at any real disadvantage and I like that. Never really cared for score streaks as I think they are another reason why the franchise, to me, took a dive off the no skill end.
This game does bring back skill and it brings it back in a serious manner. Boost jumping and then sliding right or left in the air or sliding into a position and quickly jerking left or right while firing added a layer to the game that was missing. The gap will only get wider with three things happening as I see it. Casuals or those that do not have the reflexes they use to might stop playing or will suck it up and do poorly but still have fun. There will be those people who will not get better and will decide to, instead of moving on stay in game frustrated and hating so will use every annoying thing they can to make everyone else as miserable as they are. Then there will be those that can boost jump-land-slide-left-to-avoid-fire-boost-right-and-headshot someone and they will continue to play unfettered by the rest of them.
So right now my review would be refreshing.
