Report from the front line:
Having played a few of matches, the game looks lovely. Technically this game looks great especially for a multiplayer. Many games drop the eye candy for the MP side of their game. BF4 is a hideous mess in comparison. It's fast, I mean really fast. You know how you can get into a groove, get your eye in. Well it happened to be real quick with this game, twitch shooting like you have second sight. Because of the jetpack jump there is a lot of verticality in the game, basically you have to be more aware of your place in the map and where possible attacks may be coming from. This just adds to the head on a swivel, checking your corners type of game play, some of those corners are up! About the jetpack thing, in reality it's little more than a double jump. You have to time it just right or you are ungracefully sliding face first down a wall. It definitely not superhuman, or TitanFall clone for that matter. Just a boost to get you up to a different part of the map. It takes skill to make good use of the feature much like the dash or dodge. Sounds like a gimmick but takes skill to use properly and I like skill in my MP games. Get it wrong and you are just standing there looking at a wall.
The most impressive thing I found was that a noob with the basic weapons was not at a disadvantage against rank 40 players. If you are on target your bullets you can kill any rank. In BF I sometimes feel naked with the lower level weapons against players with all of the toys. Not in CoD:AW there are many things to collect but the core game is the same.
The negative is all of the overwhelmingly confusing options. So many weapons, perks and cosmetic BS. I fear I may be too old for this shit.
