This quote made me realize that I'm still surprised no company has ever repackaged and marketed a pre-workout powder (which tend to be packed with caffeine and other mental stimulants) as a hardcore gaming product.

We should make it happen. Call it Double XP or something.

What's likely to happen with the movement mechanics in future CoDs from the other studios? There's no way they could go back to plain old running around like a loser and not have double jumps etc.

Co-op mode for AW will be four players. The markings on the controller have nothing to do with it. Put away your tinfoil hats.

Exosuit was designed as a response to everyone saying they wanted change and innovation in call of duty. Little did they know that's not at all what people wanted and they're ruining call of duty because of it.

They could continue the future timeline for at least two to three games, while having alternate historical/modern day products in between.
Three (main) studios for one franchise can get a lot done.

Strategic partnership with (FN) P90X workout promotion.

It's doubtful that Treyarch and Infinity Ward would release titles under the Advanced Warfare lineage. It'll be interesting to see what those two do with the exosuit stuff.

Conderhaar has confirmed has confirmed that exo batteries do not recharge at all; you get one charge per life. I guess that's fine for most of the abilities, but it makes hover (and possibly the shield) sound really unappealing.

Yeah, actually making attachments matter is definitely the way to go. It was so dumb that they were reduced to the absolute minimum impact in Ghosts just so they could create a ton of perks.

Once per life? What's the loving point? That sounds really dumb. That seems like something that should have been a rechargeable battery and recharge time is different for each ability. But what do I know.

I can see where recharging exo batteries lead, and I'm not going to be party to your nightmarish hellscape where a person can hover in the sky and be an easy target for 10 seconds per life instead of 5

I can't help but think of the Stim ability in Titanfall and how you can pop it to instantly start health regen basically whenever you want. It's not terribly unbalanced in that game because that game (to its great detriment!) is more about farming bots and using Titans than pilot-to-pilot PVP anyway, but it could get seriously out of hand in CoD.

That happens with every CoD release, just due to the offset of development schedules, but yeah, I'd be fine if everybody ignored Ghosts forever. There were what, maybe two good ideas in Ghosts? Making the underbarrel shotgun work (or work better, at least), and DMRs as a separate class.

Oh, and the support squaddie. Anything else?

CoD Ghosts was freaking horrible, maybe one of the worst games in the history of Call of Duty?

I'm not sure if any of us actually liked Ghosts outside of Extinction. I mean it wasn't too bad for the couple of months but it got stale very quickly and especially after they nerfed the Spoon Man Special™.

I've also pre-ordered Advanced Warfare in the hopes that I can still find a group to play with after December, if not then we can just go back to Blops 1/2 or MW3 again.

I generally love the IW releases and am a lot more unfair to Treyarch (hated WaW with a passion, tolerated BlOps, loved BlOps 2 though), but Ghosts has been atrocious for me from day one. Apart from the obvious problems with it (and the fact it doesn't like my net connection - lag city), the in-game sounds are boring as hell. Earning a Buzzkill or levelling up in MW2 (and MW3 so far as I remember), you got this class buzz noise and electric guitar track etc.

It feels like, if I earn anything like that in Ghosts, I hardly know because there's no Pavlovian audible cue to let me know when I've been a good dog. If there is, it's not working.

I wish the TTK would resemble Titanfall to be honest. There are so fewer "BULLSHIT!" moments in that game - when I die, I feel like I deserved it. Apples and oranges to an extent, I know, but... you know?

Also, I hear little rage from people in Titanfall games. The angriest person I heard was in a match the other day - "Bah, I'd be awful in a real war." Call of Duty takes my blood pressure to the moon.

Hey, those were just low-res versions of the originals. The only things they were missing were the player-controlled streaks. Its not like the Vita COD which was a rushed abomination of BLOPS 1.

Of all the problems with Ghosts, I think the most blatant is just that it's just so boring. I came back after taking a break, and there just wasn't any build I wanted to make, any lovely gun I wanted to practice with, any map I wanted to play, any killstreak I wanted to earn. MW3 was an unbalanced shitshow that barely advanced the series, but at least you could occasionally have fun running around with double Deagles or a thermal L86 on drop zone.

And yeah, the progression system sucks. I thought I'd like the idea of buy what you want when you want, but it just did not work right. At launch, you spent three games scraping together for a muzzle brake, and now they dump 60 points in your lap every game. Totally unsatisfying either way. I mean, you like to feel like you're above the Skinner Box tactics, but I did all 10 prestiges and a good chunk of the challenges in Blops 2, and I didn't manage make it to a single prestige in Ghosts.

Blops 2 was my favorite, so I'm pretty happy with AW looks to be shaping up.
