I saw the commercial for this on The Walking Dead last night and was surprised to see Taylor Kitsch on it.
I'll probably get this for the PS4. However, I'm not a big player of FPS games, but this does look cool.

I bought it digitally on the Xbox one Thursday and downloaded it Thursday. Last night at midnight eastern time I clicked the title hit play and boom I was off. Now troubled installing or playing at all

Is world at wars servers still active? I wanna play zombie mode. Or should I just get black ops?

Sounds like both XBox and PS4 users were having issues with the preload.

Been playing the campaign all day today. The game is killer. I'll probably play some online tonight - but we'll see. Yeah, double XP points is today but this campaign is so damn fun!

I haven't even touched the campaign yet, but I've already did my first prestige.

I suck too. Usually I'm last place in every match. If I don't finish last, I'm happy
I like that it has the offline mode vs bots so I can at least get used to the weapons and the maps. When I set that on "recruit" difficulty I can finish first!
Fun game though

I laugh when they say if you are having problems with your download to delete it and download it again. Right! So, I'm going to blow through 40 plus gigs of bandwidth twice to download a game.

A Haven For Horrible Call Of Duty Players
http://kotaku.com/a-haven-for-horrib...ers-1654115681
Along with the return of players-versus-bot multiplayer, Advanced Warfare introduces the wonderful Combat Readiness Program, a mode where people who really suck at Call of Duty multiplayer can anonymously feel better about themselves.
There's no voice chat. There are no names — soldiers are labeled either 'Friendly' or 'Enemy'. Not all of the participants are human. At the beginning of each Team Deathmatch round a number of bots and human players are randomly distributed between the two teams.
Players are given a batch of pre-made loadouts to choose from — no worrying about building your own — and shuffled off to war, like young children on the way to school.
Remember back when competitive first-person shooters were relatively new and we were all learning how to fight? The Combat Readiness Program is exactly like that.
People standing still to shoot? Check.
Unloading an entire clip of ammo on an enemy standing right in front of you and not killing them? Check.
Getting shot at and not even attempting to get a bead on who is trying to kill you? Check.
Sniping from an incredibly obvious position for the entire round, no matter how many times you're killed there? Check.
Camping corners you think are blind while an enemy stands off to your side and watches you for several seconds before killing you? Check.
It can be quite beautiful, playing with other players who are just as clueless as you. I played for an hour on Sunday, enjoying myself thoroughly as my more 'hardcore' nephew looked on, offering sarcastic praise. "Oh yeah, you're doing great. That's totally impressive."
The mode gives players every opportunity to excel. Undeserved Killstreak rewards are doled out like candy, giving them a taste of the success they might not ever find otherwise. The medals flow like wine, only wine that disappears once the round is over — none of this really counts.
But the Combat Readiness Program is better defined by what it lacks than what it offers. There are no organized bands of crack players, wiping the floor with the inexperienced. If you see a group of enemies together, it's probably just a coincidence. There's no one to laugh when you fall off the map for the third time in a single round.
Even that Call of Duty staple, the end-of-round chart of shame, is replaced with a summary of the player's performance, encouragingly highlighting new records. Were these kills bots or real players? Who cares, I killed some things!
The idea is that a new player can train in the Combat Readiness Program, becoming comfortable with gameplay before trying their luck at the brutal world of true online play. That's a nice thought. I think I'll stay right here, thanks.

To their credit, in 2014 the amount of bandwidth should NOT be a consideration. And yet it is.

I guess it's better then the alternative of sitting around and waiting for another fix that may never come while not playing the game.

Only played the multi player for a few hours today, but I'm enjoying it. Of course, it's typical COD. I'll go 12-3 one game and 7-16 the next.
We decided to set up a clan so if any of you would like an invite let me know (Xbone). I really don't care what your kdr is, just looking for a bunch of non 12 year olds that don't drop the n word every 12 seconds to play with.
I know many people are making comparisons to Titanfall because of the exo suits, but honestly, this game is much better IMO.
My two brothers and I played two matches tonight against some guy that was hopping all over the place and quick-scoping us. I was ready to throw my controller through the tv.

Oh and I'm proud to admit I've never even prestiged even once in any of the Call of Duty games. I'll get to level 52 or so and get bored.

On previous COD games, I found that doing Prestige made it fun again. I'd get around Level 50 and the game would start to get boring. I'd already have all the guns and modifications that I wanted. Starting over from scratch brought back that rush of playing one more game to level up or unlock something.

Got stuck in the campaign, so I went to play the MP and that shit is fucking fun! I killed a few fools but also got blasted on. It was hilarious. It will take a while to get used to, because they have a shit load of MP games to choose from and your weapons menu, etc., is customizable up the ass, so there's lots to take in when picking your weapons and shit.
I kept it simple and just played the free-for-all one.

I'm hearing good things. I was really hoping to keep sitting out COD, especially after Ghosts, but I have a feeling they are going to drag me in again.
