Originally the plan was for the newest Call of Duty game, made by Modern Warfare 3 collaborator Sledgehammer Games, to be revealed this coming Sunday, but you know how the Internet works. The official trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is out now and it features Kevin Spacey (who is a Southern accent away from portraying Frank Underwood), drones, exoskeletons, hover bikes and much much more. If you thought Black Ops 2 was futuristic, wait until you get a load of this:
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare certainly looks nice, but there are also a lot of signs that point to it being on an upgraded version of the same old engine (I swear, I’ve watched the same running animation for the soldiers in slow-mo since 2007). What do you guys think of this reveal? Back on the Call of Duty hype-train? Can Advanced Warfare pick up after the post-Ghosts slump? According to the trailer, the release date for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is November 4, 2014. No consoles were specifically listed, except for the Xbox One version which provided the footage for the trailer.
The super jumping, the wall crawling etc. If the awesome exoskeleton manoeuvres are accessible by everybody in multi-player (not just a kill-streak or only in single player) then colour me interested. If not, then its just regular old COD with the usual guest star and cinematic quick-time events (meh).
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that in multiplayer, everyone will have an exoskeleton that will let you super jump, climb high walls, wall-run and it will feel pretty similar to a recently released sci-fi first person shooter.
YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS I’M EXCITED FOR THIS. I SHOULDN’T BE FEELING THESE FEELS.

Never heard of it 😛
Now that I think about it though, the timing seems a little too coincidental for both Titanfall and COD: Titandrop to be coming out in the same year.
@drellassassin I think it’s Kevin Spacey that’s compelling me. Can’t get enough of dat Spacey.
@Mitch He’s largely the reason, however the fact that this is the first Call of Duty developed in the three year cycle, the first with a new engine since COD4, and the first to be developed by a non-Treyarch/Infinity Ward studio has my attention.
