Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Title: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Publisher: Activision
Platform: PS3
Genre: Shooter
Release Date: 11/3/2014
Overview: As the standard in first-person military shooters, this latest installment in the Call of Duty series takes you to the battlefields of the future. You’ll equip yourself with an arsenal of exotic weaponry and save the world from a terrorist threat. Far from the out-there sci-fi settings so common in gaming, Advanced Warfare’s future is well researched and realistic. Instead of the body armor soldiers wear now, you’ll climb into combat exoskeletons capable of boost jumps, cloaking, extra speed, strength, and endurance, and even a grappling hook. All this technology changes the nature of fighting in COD. The new weapons behave differently than previous guns, and the HUD offers never-before-seen levels of tactical knowledge to every man on the battlefield. Not everything has changed, though – COD’s tight-as-a-drum controls and realistic graphics are represented in spades.
