| Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare |
Development began in late 2011, shortly after the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Sledgehammer employed veteran actors Troy Baker and Kevin Spacey in lead roles. The game's futuristic single-player story follows Jack Mitchell of the United States Marine Corps and his interaction with Atlas, a private military corporation that sells its services to the highest bidder.
Advanced Warfare, like the other Call of Duty titles, is presented in a first-person shooter perspective. The game features several changes; unlike other installments, Advanced Warfare does not use a traditional heads-up display; instead, all information is relayed to the player via holographic projections from the weapon equipped. The general gunplay remains unchanged, apart from new mechanics, such as Exo movements. Depending on their performance, after each mission the player is given a certain amount of upgrade points which can be used to upgrade the exo suit, or weapons. The player can switch between different types of grenades. The game is the first in the Call of Duty series that allows the player to choose differing types of conventional weaponry; for example, the game features regular conventional firearms, but the player can choose to use laser or energy directed weaponry, both of which have differing attributes.
Campaign
The single-player campaign features one sole playable character, Jack Mitchell, as opposed to multiple characters in previous Call of Duty games. It makes use of pre-rendered cinematic cut scenes, similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops II, assisting in the story telling aspect of the campaign.Multiplayer
Apart from the Exo movement, Advanced Warfare 's multiplayer retains certain similarities to past Call of Duty titles. The Pick 10 system in Black Ops II returns as Pick 13, allowing players to pick weapons, attachments, perks and score-streaks within a total of 13 allocation points. Score-streaks are also upgradable with different modules, allowing for additional abilities/effects, at an extra score cost. Advanced Warfare introduces weapon variants, which contain various different stats compared to the base weapons. This allows the game to contain over 350 weapons, both variants and base versions. Supply drops allow players to earn new gears through playing the game. The content of each supply drop is randomized, and can range from weapon variants to player customization items, as well as bonus experience points (XPs) time. Players can complete daily challenges to earn supply drops.Exo Survival
Exo Survival was first introduced as Advanced Warfare 's cooperative game mode. Considered to be a new version of the Survival Mode from Modern Warfare 3, Exo Survival allows up to four players to engage in a wave-based match against A.I.-controlled enemies. Players can choose from three different classes of Exo, which grant different abilities and score-streaks. Weapons and score-streaks can be upgraded throughout each match. After a certain number of rounds, players are given objectives to perform, such as defending a location, or collecting intel from fallen enemies. Completing the objectives grant players bonus upgrade points; not completing them result in the players being punished, such as having their Exo suits temporarily disabled or activating hostile security turrets. Exo Survival is played on the game's multiplayer maps, with a total of 13 maps divived into four tiers. Each tier can be unlocked by playing the previous tier and survive a specific number of rounds.
Exo Zombies
Exo Zombies was first teased at the end of the Exo Survival map Riot, and was officially announced with the Havoc downloadable content (DLC) pack. The game mode is said to be "a brand new take on zombies", featuring zombies utilizing exo suits, giving them more maneuverability. The game mode stars four brand new characters: Oz (John Malkovich), Lilith (Rose McGowan), Decker (Jon Bernthal), and Kahn (Bill Paxton).Exo Zombies plays similarly to the original Zombies game mode that was featured in Treyarch's Call of Duty games since Call of Duty: World at War: up to four players have to survive against endless waves of undead enemies, with an optional story quest, or Easter egg, that can be done at any time during a match. Players earn points by injuring and/or killing zombies, and use them to open doors/clear obstacles, or buy new weapons and perks to strengthen their chance of survival.
The first Exo Zombies map, "Outbreak", was released on January 27, 2015 on Xbox Live, and will be released on February 27, 2015 on PlayStation Network and Steam, as part of the Havoc DLC map pack.
Many things are the same. The 3 original perks, Jugernog, Speed Cola, and Quick Revive, are in Outbreak, except with different names. Jug is "Exo Health", Speed is "Exo Reload", and Quick Revive is "Exo Revive. The Power ups are also there with different names.
