Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare senior director talks multiplayer map design, modes, and more

Sledgehammer Games took the stage at Gamescom 2014 earlier today to reveal the first details on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's multiplayer. It's the first time that Sledgehammer Games has had the opportunity to put their name on a Call of Duty product. As fans of the product in their own right, it's been a dream that has gradually unfolded over the past three years of development.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

you need to stop saying "let see next year"

We almost got a third-person horror CoD set in Vietnam, but instead we just got more Modern Warfare

Sledgehammer's first game was killed so Modern Warfare 3 could be finished.

XiNatsuDragnel140d ago

I remember this and I wish we got more gameplay of this

DaniMacYo138d ago

I would have preferred this actually not enough Vietnam settings out there.

Snookies12138d ago

I adored Battlefield Bad Company 2's Vietnam expansion. Sucks to hear this was scrapped for CoD. I haven't touched CoD since Modern Warfare 2 came out. (The original one.) I would have definitely checked that out though.

GamingSinceForever138d ago

No such thing as horror when equipped with the type of weaponry in a COD game. 😂

chicken_in_the_corn137d ago

Hope they revisit the idea. A 3rd person CoD could be good.
