Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Review
New Tech. New team. New rules. Sledgehammer’s series debut is the freshest COD in years.
You’d have forgiven Sledgehammer Games for being a bit intimidated. This, after all, is a young studio that has never before lead development on a game. It’s lent a supporting hand to previous Call Of Dutys, most significantly when it helped pick up the pieces of the Infinity Ward troubles by helping finish Modern Warfare 3. But with Advanced Warfare it has been handed the keys to perhaps the most lucrative series in games, tasked with revitalising it after a few years of declining sales figures, and has done so by turning a game loved for its modernity into one set in the future. It’s scary stuff.
