Call of Duty and Battlefield: the best war games for Xbox One and PS4

Several players were afraid regarding the Advanced Warfare release. After a median  Call of Duty: Ghosts , labeled by most fans as the weakest game in the franchise, many decreed that Advanced lead the series to the bottom, even carrying the iconic name Warfare.

To bring fresh air to the franchise, Activision put the brand new series in the hands of Sledgehammer, who also worked with the classic Modern Warfare 3. Once the American studio completed the third and final episode of the saga Warfare at the end of 2011, developers soon began work on what would be the new era of CoD.

After all, Advanced Warfare is a setback in the history of the famous franchise FPS? To counter the negative predictions, the new Call of Duty is not only one of the best shooters of the year, but also the most fun and frantic from MW3.

More cinematic than ever, the new plot includes renowned Hollywood actors in its cast, as Troy Baker, playing the protagonist Mitchell and, of course, Kevin Spacey in the role of Jonathan Irons, the president of Atlas Corporation, a superpower rentals.

The story begins in the year 2054 with John Mitchell and his loyal war partner, both serving the US Navy.During a mission of life and death against the South Korean army, the protagonist loses an arm and still witnesses the unexpected death of his companion.

Disillusioned, Mitchell is asked to make a real organization able to save important lives: Atlas Corporation.There, the young soldier has access to the vast array of technological equipment of the organization, including the latest generation of exoskeletons, laser guns and grenades modifiable. Thanks to advanced technology, Mitchell gets a new mechanical arm to replace what was lost.

With a futuristic plot that is not able to escape the clichés, the dynamics of the campaign still sticking to the CoD line and the formula is basically the same as in previous games: follow an NPC that does not stop chattering, sit the bullet enemies and master a vehicle for an intense confrontation in motion. As an example, a shootout between the protagonist hanging on a bus in speed and a helicopter infested the KVA agents.

The campaign mode requires about seven hours to complete, but may vary depending on the chosen difficulty level. One of the big news is up to the unprecedented upgrades system, in which the player can spend points earned within the stages to improve specific skills of the character.

Although the system is extremely simple, it can mask a little CoD formula hit we all already know very well.It is highly recommended to start gambling by history, since it is there that you will learn to control the new movements and also meet the unusual technological arsenal.

It is in the multiplayer mode that Advanced Warfare can shine, even with some occasional failures. If you are a regular player of CoD, get ready to "relearn how to walk." For the mechanical movement was completely redesigned, expanding the possibilities of executions and leaving the more frantic gambling.

The exoskeleton is able to completely change the dynamic of a game. After all, depending on the chosen equipment, you can be invisible, see other players temporarily through walls, remain static in the air or run much faster. There is a huge variety of exoskeletons that can be added to your custom sets, which ultimately further diversifying the gameplay.

Jogging in Advanced Warfare is an essential task and they will definitely keep you alive longer. The weather in multiplayer is always tension, as the opponents can come from inside a building, off of a platform or one of the many outlets that promote locations.

Overall, the rooms are not large, but in some maps, Sledgehammer intent is explicit in the "push" players for the vertical confrontations. Yes, the huge platforms perpendicular to the ground are designed solely to force the gamer to put all movement techniques to the test.

The truth is that the changes implemented in the CoD this year will also directly affect the performance of so-called "campers". Who loves to stay hidden in one place, will hardly survive. The key is to just use the double jumps and the ability dash  to hinder the opposing sights.

The need to jump incessantly is learned the hard way. After all, the shooting is intense, with bullets popping by all budding corners and enemies of all places. In fact, that's why the game needs to be fixed urgently respawn.

Unfortunately, you will be born often in the face of rival team. This means that even before birth, your soldier will already be taking lead on the forehead. The vagueness of respawns affect the multiplayer experience (especially in modes like Domination and hardpoint, requiring greater mobility), though it is a fault that can be corrected through a simple upgrade.

As would be expected, Advanced Warfare also came to correct the errors and Ghosts, so we brought a wide variety of maps and modes, totaling 13 environments and 11 sports.

Regarding the arms, rest assured that you are well served. The game mimics the player with a vast arsenal, which offers everything from assault rifles and submachine guns spitting bullets, to shotguns and special items.

Although there are good weapons, submachine guns are clearly weaker than assault rifles. The performance of certain equipment, such as SAC3, for example, simply can not be equated with Bal-27 - just to name one of the rifles. On the issue of weapons, the Sledgehammer really need to balance things a little more.

One of the strengths of Advanced Warfare multiplayer is undoubtedly the new "Time To Kill", which is nothing more than the time required to bring down an opponent. If the Ghosts was not possible to exchange bullets with opponents, since it was much easier to die with few shots now, you will have plenty of time to react to the attacks. Besides having to worry about the frantic drive, we still need to calibrate the sights not to make ugly in a face to face confrontation.

Customization, slots and killstreaks 

In the newly released game, the player has the "Pick 13" system, which invigorates the "Pick 10" Black Ops 2. Through it, you need to manage all the resources properly to stay within the 13-point limit. The new dynamic requires that the player has enough strategy and knowledge to customize the best class.

Within the very title tax number, you can mix exo skills with different launchers, and implement killstreaks accessories such as remote turrets, drones recognition and also a cyber attack platform to disable enemy radar and reticles. Remember that each device typically costs a point and is not allowed to exceed 13 points.

During the matches, will be common to find players who live killstreaks skills, while others can practice best moves, thanks to the exoskeletons.

Since the saga Modern Warfare, Call of Duty offers rewards in multiplayer. The more you play, the greater the chances of getting weapons, accessories and elite equipment. Your arsenal may consist of about 80 items, and if you are interested in selling a particular fixture, simply exchange it for experience points.

If you like to spend hundreds of hours leveling up to target the top of the world rankings, so the 15 new Prestiges should please you. Classic mode will satisfy the most experienced players, who can give Prestige so level 50 is reached. The addition of new levels causes the multiplayer has a replay factor greater.

Surviving alongside friends 

The Cooperative mode Advanced Warfare entitled Exo Survival, is not a mere assistant. In co-op, you can join alongside three other players to face the various challenges - including, there is also a crowd of zombies to toast classic mode.

As you survive, hordes of new enemies emerge and consequently the difficulty increases. During intervals between rounds, you can spend your points won to buy new accessories, weapons and exoskeletons.

On the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the game label "truly next-gen" is not for nothing. The maps are thoroughly detailed and diverse, making Advanced Warfare is one of the finest shooters to date.

While Call of Duty: Ghosts brought darker maps and exposed more colors "dirty" in the new venture, the environments have more vibrant colors, remembering the very climate of Black Ops 2. This means that it is easier to locate the rival soldiers hopping around.

Regarding the sound effects, the Call of Duty franchise still remains one of the best in the area. The noises of popping shots and fragmentation grenades turning opponents into pieces sound like music to the ears.Honestly, the franchise more than ever sets out its game quality "AAA".

Of course, the look of the campaign is slightly higher than the material of the multiplayer, but the graphics quality is indisputable, regardless of mode. On maps with a larger number of elements in the scene, as is the case of step-pyramid Instinct will stop in the middle of the common gameplay to assess the fauna.

The details of the characters are really jaw-dropping. Especially in the new generation consoles and PC, you can see impressive effects, such as convincing expressions and even skin imperfections.

Conclusion 

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare  is one of the best games in the franchise to date. With a robust multiplayer and cooperative content packaging, the Sledgehammer demonstrated that the series can reinvent itself without losing its characteristic feeling. The first episode of "Advanced Age" is not perfect, but now we are sure that the series is on track to return to reign in the FPS genre.
