Have a couple hours played.
First the good things:
1. Maps are pretty small. No enormous maps like Ghosts had.
2. Exo Suits make movement crazy like. Love the boosting ability.
3. Quite a few maps. Played a solid couple hours, played maybe 1 maps twice.
4. Bullet damage seems just right. Not high but not low. Inbetween. Feels comfortable.
5. Ping/Bars are back on the leaderboards. I like it that way.
6. Graphics on PS3 are 10x better than Ghosts were. They have that look to them.
Bad things:
1. THE COMMUNITY. Corner hugging is at an all time high.
2. Guns have ZERO recoil.
3. My crashed (froze).
4. While movement of the suit is welcomed.. using it is wear on your thumb and stick. You have to re-push the stick in to boost forward everytime. You get used to it.. but our stick is not going to appreciate it.
5. Maps are kind of a double edged sword. Every map has a billion rooftops. You learn to run the rooftops and figure out where people are.. so it becomes less an annoyance. But at first its ragetastic.
Thats all that comes to mind as of this moment.
I'll release my vid of my first time booting it up and my first 2 games played on MP tomorrow.

Movement is fast and FUN! Everyone gets Marathon as a default. Using the boosts is very intuitive if this clueless old man can do it with ease.
Maps seem chaotic to me. But then, they always do the first week or 2. My personal fav so far might be the Italian seaside one. Can't recall the name. Maybe that's because it was the craziest, fastest game of the night.
I'll disagree with Syn on one thing: some of the guns do have - at least a little - recoil. But yeah, they're lasers otherwise.
Hey! I can see enemy players! They're not a slightest different shade of grey or brown against the drab, same colored background!
Time to kill - to me - seems the same as Ghost. I either melt guys, or (more often) get melted.
Love the ping bars and I've already learned one thing: if you're in a lobby with all 4 bars, and one guy has 1 bar, LEAVE! He's nigh unkillable!
Otherwise, connections seem ok.
The Bad:
Spawns already FUBAR. Got at least 5 kills tonight I didn't deserve because I spawned with a guy running past me - behind him. Died at least 30 times tonight because I spawned into enemy fire, or right in front of someone. Maybe the maps are just that small, maybe it's how fast you can get from one end to another. I really don't know. But chained spawn deaths FTL.
The Ugly:
The complete limp wristed, no skill, thumb sucking, pillow biting, wastes of carbon that take an otherwise BEAUTIFUL game chock full of fast paced fun, and tons and tons of movement abilities... and instead hide in a corner, or hide on a rooftop, or camp in their own damned spawn. Grow a pair, guys. (Note: GUYS. I've never met a girl gamer who lacked fortitude). Have some damned fun and stop sucking the fun out of the game for everyone else!
And the really ugly:
I suck something awful. LOL

Someone's going to have to tell me what happens when a 6-man squad coordinates their killstreak setups running 2 ppl w/ like UAV, System Hack, and Remote Sentry; all with all the upgrades and support modules. Two more with UAV, System Hack, and Care Package. And 2 people will "slayer" setups.
When I see the module capability for the killstreaks, I imagine pumping up the cost of a remote sentry being pretty dumb, but if you can run it like a support streak, and give a 360 fire arc, that's pretty gangster. You can make UAV's last longer and scramble enemy radar; and have System Hack not only dick with their screens, but shut off exo suits and killstreaks.

Love the speed boost. Coupled with an SMG and lightweight, you're in the enemy's spawn before they even know where they are...
And if you're me, then this happens:

I am pretty sure it does, a lot of the "footage" on youtube right now looks like it's vs bots.
There's a firing range deal while doing match making as well, I assume to test stuff while you wait for games.

Pros:
Campaign is fun as f**k
Graphics are much better than ghosts
Sounds are the best out of COD, by far
Sledgehammer made a very obvious effort to take a chance
Kill streaks aren't too effective
Maps are pretty good
Cons:
Hit detection is spotty at best (firing range shows this explicitly)
Movement isn't as smooth as other cods
Time to kill is too quick, not a fan at all
No barebones mode
The community still camps like pussies
Controls could be more initiative, double jumps could be smoother
Right now, I like AW more than ghosts, easily. If the community embraced the movement, it could be really fun, but the community...

^Couples things I disagree with.. time to kill is NOT quick, imo. And I think the hit detection is fine. Also I think the movement is smooth and it still feels like CoD.

I'd did the firing range multiple times, shots weren't registering a lot. Not a good sign
Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:28 pm
#64768There is a mode without EXO movements isn't there? Or do you mean like all killstreaks and stuff gone as well?
To me after playing up to Level 35, I definitely like it a lot better than Ghosts and the customization factor and loot drops make it a lot more interesting to stay logged on MP. The one negative I've seen so far (other than the community because we all know how that goes) is that one-shot pistol, definitely a bit OP.
I was running System Hack with the module to turn off their EXO abilities and kids were so confused and upset, fun times.

Ikon, I meant no kill streaks kind of barebones. Even without the exo suit, I don't find the controls nearly as smooth as previous CODs, or even destiny (which is 30 FPS). There's something off about sledgehammers implementation of the engine to me.
I think I'm also just done with twitch shooters. I prefer something more like Destiny or BF. AW isn't terrible, not even remotely, but it's definitely not for me. TTK is way too fast, especially considering how f**king awful the community plays the game. Insta deaths from corner sitters just isn't something I want to deal with when I'm trying to have fun. The more I play MP, the better I'm doing (lead the lobby last game), but it's the same bullshit as every other COD
If COd ever goes back to WW2, I may get back in, but I think that I'll sell off AW once I'm done with the campaign. I'm just out

To be fair, those are most of the guns that are unlocked first.

Agreed. It's just ****ing awful tonight how the limp dicked have already ruined the fun.
I'd like a game mode where the less you move, the weaker your gun gets - all the way to zero. And by move, I don't mean bobbing back and forth 2-3 feet.
And the further you travel, the stronger your gun gets and more health you have, until you're running with the equivalent of stopping power and juggernaught. Actually, make that base, and let the kiddies go camp somewhere else. So sick of playing hide and seek, and whole clans playing "no. you come over here to us." (Actually HEARD someone complain that our team wasn't coming to them. UGH!)

Pros:
October should have been a year ago account was banned
Cons:
The descriptions sound identical to all previous titles except being able to run.

the game isn't terrible, but the community continues to be the worst
the game could come with a free blow job, and the community would find a way to ruin that

I can still feel the rage just by reading the responses. That deep rooted anger that would probably erupt violently at a COD fan meeting. Thank you MW2, the funnest piece of shit to date.

no lie, one of the kill cams in a game last night was from the point of view of someone laying prone on top of a truck

Please do not use that term when talking about COD, it brings to mind Borderlands and I in no way want there to be any mistaking any type of connection between BL and COD, just on the notion that in some mystical magical thinking way the COD community might catch wind of it and say to themselves "Hey guys lets go try and ruin another game".

"Supply Drops".
I've found so far in this game.. Acquiring and shooting the target to be the hardest part. Sounds weird. When I see a person, I go to aim and fire.. There is a good chance my shots are just to the sides of the person. Even if they are not moving. I don't know if this is an effect from playing so much destiny... Or if my aiming is just this bad.
Anyone else having this issue?

I think the "aim assist" is tuned slightly different from Destiny, I noticed a different pull
