Last night saw the first official reveal of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare multiplayer gameplay in a brand new trailer ahead of the November release.
Core movement is fundamentally changed with the addition of all-new exoskeleton technology, creating an action-packed and unique multiplayer experience that cannot be compared to Call of Duty games in the past.

“With Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare we introduced the first new lead developer to the franchise in a decade and our first three-year development cycle, with one mission: bring breakthrough innovation to the franchise, while also honouring its roots. We feel Sledgehammer Games has risen to that challenge” said Activision Publishing, Inc.’s CEO, Eric Hirshberg. “Advanced Warfare introduces significant new mechanics to multiplayer that truly changes the game, but more importantly just speaking as a gamer it’s a hell of a lot of fun.”
As ever, fans were mixed in their responses. Whilst some praised the new look and encouraged creators to continue going in the direction this game's headed, others criticised and asked for the game to go back to its simple roots of being a basic war game, without all of the novelties included.
Also announced was the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition, offering those who pre-order 24-hour early access to the game beginning on November 3. Day Zero Edition copies will include two new, custom weapons and the previously announced Advanced Arsenal incentive. Collector's Edition copies will also be available.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is out November 4 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, rated PEGI 18.
