What players say

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare is good some stuff can be challenging but rewarding to play its fun. Really good game I really enjoyed playing from beginning to end.

A criminally underrated game with a great story and a fun multiplayer, zombies were one of the issues this game was known for, but when mastered, it is just as great as the old school zombies

game sucks, no fov slider, dumb intro to the storyline "oh no my best friend dies in the most avoidable way possible." The most basic and boring gameplay possible.
