Early Impressions of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Played a bit of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare today, Single Player portion. The graphics are much improved have to be said, finally a new engine and it looks good. It is a little bit more open than previous COD games because the exo suit opens up new traversal routes, but still, very scripted. The AI, well, just like previous game, I don't think they deserve the I word, they just follow script but don't react outside it. Oh well, at least its a progress.

I am 69 Star Kid!

I finally finished all the Special Ops missions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2! For that I got this shiny gold trophy! For those who don't know. Special ops is a new co-operative mode in Call of Duty which can be also played solo. Playing solo iis twice as difficult because of the larger number of enemies at once and objectives are designed for 2 players, so playing solo is twice is hard, think much harder than veteran mode in Campaign mode, also you dont have any save checkpoints which makes it even harder! I am happy and proud to say that I finished all the spec ops missions solo on veteran (except two of them which requires 2 players mandatory). WOHOO! Getting close to MW2 Platinum.

As for other news I am excited of the recent news that Medal of Honor is going modern and going more authentic than Modern Warfare 2 and more believable storyline. Also EALA is a great team who will handle the Campaign portion, and of course the DICE guys, Battlefield is still my fav online warfare game and I cant wait to see what these guys can come up with in the new Medal of Honor.

Got Fallout 3 platinum

Yeah I got it 4 days ago, cant believe I got it in just under a week of play! As for other games, I am playing Resident Evil 5 hoping to get the platinum. Although this will take a lot of time because I need to have a unlimited magnum before I want to try out the game on the professional difficulty, not to mention several trophies which requires you to play a lot just to gain enough points to buy out all the weapons and upgrade them, so it will take a while.

I am also playing Killzone 2 singleplayer and multiplayer, still feels fresh and solid, and yeah the graphics still blows me away. The singleplayer is solid with great enemy AI, although it is very disappointing that the game doesn't have Co-op, I mean Killzone 2 would have been 10 times more fun and sometimes less frustrating if you had a friend giving you a hand in the campaign. It is easily the the FPS of the year contender for me, and easily beats the likes of what Call of Duty have done in recent years, and Modern Warfare 2 doesn't look to do anything new and different just the usual a bit better graphics (still along way from Killzone 2 level of visual prowess) and new perks.

In fact I might not even get Modern Warfare 2, instead I will get Assassin's Creed 2. Loved the original with its conspiracy storyline and great sandbox world. AC 2 is even more better thanks to an assassin with personality this time around so we should connected  to this character Ezio more than we did with Altair. Also the fact that its in Italy, I love everything about Italy. I cant pass this one.

Also I will finally start playing the MGS for the PS One which I downloaded a month back. The reason I didn't play because I had exams going on and its a MGS game..... it deserves all the time in the world. Cant wait to play one of the best games ever made and then move to MGS 4 which to me is the 2nd favourite game of all time. Great deep story, fantastic cinmatics, voice over, music, gameplay makes it a stunning package, a masterpiece by Hideo Kojima.

Well that's it, in a weeks time I will be putting on the cowl and get myself a copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum, the batman game we all been waiting for a very very....very long time:).
