Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's multiplayer was revealed today... and you can check it out below and see if its something that grabs your attention (if you haven't watched it already. It feels like they've taken what the game is known for and mixed in known elements from other titles... and then some.
Boost slam reminds me of the airstomp from Crysis games... while the jetpacks and fast paced scaling of heights remind me of Titanfall. These things aren't exactly fresh and new, but that's what they're bringing to the game... in addition to some other pretty cool looking additions which should increase the challenge. Speaking of challenges, I hope they give the AI a bit of an IQ boost... looking at the way some stood there and got killed in the gameplay demo. The more difficult it is, the more satisfying it should be to play the single player campaign... changing in-game difficulty settings should also improve the AI strategy and not just their durability.
Activision revealed this trailer (obviously)... but they should've actually had teams playing the multiplayer versus some compiled gameplay video. I guess they wanted to keep things a bit more controlled and under wraps while they sold the game, and they will show more during the eSports Events (seen in the schedule below).

Excited about the game... but annoyed with Kojima about MGS: Ground Zeroes, because that could've totally been a good demo and could still be a pre-order reward for MGS: The Phantom Pain (if they really wanted to do so). We'll reach out... to KJP. One thing we've seen in this game that doesn't exactly make me feel that good... (even though its cool) is the enemy & box relationship. You can do some pretty cool things with it like slide out from the side of it while enemies focus on the box, pop out like a jack in the box and deliver a surprise kill... simply use it for classic hiding, etc. There are some things I don't like about it though (when it comes to realism), some of the cool things are also double edged swords.
If an enemy sees a box, its a box, if it magically props up and has a soldiers image on it... that should trigger a different type of response instead of them thinking nothing of it. If you were positioned stationary before they saw you, then I could understand that possibly tricking them. Another thing is the art showcasing the women, the soldiers come running to gladly check it out... not the fact that a box just transformed before their eyes. I would've made the AI a bit more smarter than what appeared in the reveal. This is even more crazy when you see the soldiers focused on the women on the box and they don't notice that someone just slide out of the side of it... even though the video showed you in full view of their sights. Overall (since its going to be in the game) It will make for some silly fun, even though you might not be able to get away with it if multiple soldiers are around... just thought it was a bit crazy and wanted the challenges to be that more difficult to conquer.
