Logan

There's another Call of Duty title, and it is called "Advanced Warfare". In the Reveal Trailer, they feature Kevin Spacey giving his thoughts on Democracy, scenes that show new features that means that the story will be way in the future like Black Ops 2 and going further than what Black Ops 2 offered in terms of high-technology. Watch for yourself:

Some scenes will remind you of Titanfall, others will be Crysis, and one even Star Wars Return of the Jedi. It seems the Sledgehammer Games, the lead game developer this time for this Call of Duty title cherry picked a lot of cool features from other video games and even movies, and drawing from other Call of Duty titles to put together an FPS video game package that they hope would make the Call of Duty looks fresh and new when it gets released on November 4.
Here’s more about the video game as taken from Activision's Press Release:

"We've made several key decisions with an eye towards creative excellence on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. We've really approached this game differently," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "This is our first three-year development cycle. It's our first time with Sledgehammer Games at the creative helm. And we're shaking up the formula in several ways. New core gameplay mechanics with the exoskeleton suit. A riveting new story. An iconic new character played by one of the world's best actors in Kevin Spacey. We're having a lot of fun making this game, and we think the world is going to have even more fun playing it."

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare jolts players forward in a groundbreaking experience that's ripped-from-the-headlines-of-tomorrow, envisioning a future where both technology and tactics have evolved to usher in a new era of combat for the franchise. Set in the year 2054, a private military corporation (PMC) has emerged with the power to rescue humanity from a devastated world struggling to rebuild after a global attack on its military and infrastructure. You are the advanced soldier. Empowered with new, cutting-edge exoskeleton abilities, technological advancements and high-tech gear, players join the ranks of a highly-trained, specialized unit committed to restoring order in a state of advanced warfare.

"It's been a lot of fun working with the team to bring Jonathan Irons to life. The technology is truly remarkable and unlike anything I've done before. I'm excited to see where this goes," said Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is being developed specifically for next gen consoles and PC. This is the first iteration of publisher Activision's expanded three-year development cycle allowing the debut lead title from Sledgehammer Games an added year of studio development. With the expanded production capabilities, Sledgehammer Games is able to create an astonishing new, next generation experience, featuring an array of technical advancements from the sights and sounds that create a near photorealistic world unlike any Call of Duty before, to new performance capture and facial animation technologies that deliver lifelike characters, to a rich and immersive story that brings the fiction to life.

"This is an opportunity of a lifetime, and an honor for Sledgehammer Games. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the most ambitious and creative project we have ever worked on. From the endless research and thousands of production designs, to our incredible focus on the narrative and amazing attention to detail - we're taking nothing for granted," said Glen Schofield, co-founder and game director of Sledgehammer Games. "Call of Duty connects with the fans on such a deep level, and crafting a new vision for the next generation has been so inspiring for us."

Michael Condrey, co-founder and studio head of Sledgehammer Games added, "Glen and I created this team with the singular vision of delivering the best work of our lives. We know we're stepping into some pretty big shoes, but every day I'm amazed at the talent and focus at work here touching everything from the story experience to multiplayer. We're excited to lead the next chapter in this great franchise, and we can't wait for November 4th."

Well, that reveals something such as their production cycles involving more developer studios to ensure continuity of projects after the debacle with original people of Infinity Award who left to put up a studio that released the game-changing "Titanfall."

With all the new features in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, there will be new controls to familiarize with, weaponry, and perhaps kill streaks and care packages in the multiplayer version. IGN has put together a list of features of the game, which they call as the "11 Call of Duty Game Changers in Advanced Warfare."

Personally, I won't agree that the list are game changers, with the exception of having Kevin Spacey on board. But the rest of the list, we have seen them before  --- mech suits, exoskeletons, drones, cloaking, and even hover bikes. Still, it is just a matter of how the game developers will make such features a new experience when playing Call of Duty Advanced Warfare that will make a difference. This means making sure that gamers would not collectively say "Meh!"

Since this is just the reveal trailer, we'll be expecting more information in the coming weeks and months before the last quarter of 2014 hits and where blockbuster FPS video games will be released. Now, it is just a matter of knowing the response of EA sports with their Battlefield/Medal of Honor series given their big problems of game glitches with Battlefield 4 where they put developer focus to swat out the bugs before announcing what their 2014 offering will be.
