At last, Sledgehammer Games revealed the Multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare during the Gamescon 2014 that took place in Cologne, Germany early this week. The trailer for the multiplayer mode confirms some of the observations that many had during the releases of the campaign trailer and story early this year. For me, I say is that in redesigning the Call of Duty franchise, the developers seemed to have cherry-picked the best features from rival FPS video games; or is it just coincidence that some of the features look eerily similar to other games?

The Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare EXO suit reminds us of Crysis, ability to have faster abilities and cloaking features. With the jump packs, it reminds us Titanfall, and with the multiplayer reveal, the tsunami reminds us of a catastrophic scenarios from the multiplayer mode of Battlefield 4. Whilst the story for the game is really good, you might just scratch your head if there is some originality in the design of the new features of the game.

But with all these features, the multiplayer battles can be described in one word: frenzy. With the new abilities, players will have to move fast or else they will be shooting ducks for those who are always on the move. Thus, in one scene where a player uses the jetpack to do a jumping reverse and be right behind the pursuing player, the latter will have to immediately do some quick lateral movements to avoid being shot to bits. Titanfall players can feel at home immediately playing the multiplayer mode.

The tsunami scene adds some excitement to the game as players had to watch out not only the opposing team but also avoid being caught in the waves. This scenario requires a lot of jetpack use, but will also expose players from shooters whilst in mid-air.

Players can pick which type of multiplayer games they want to join: Capture the Flag, Hardpoint, Team Deathmatch, Domination Search and Destroy, Uplink, and Momentum. The last two are two new games included in the multiplayer mode. In Uplink, the teams will have to battle for control of a drone; and in Momentum, it will be a tug-of-war for the teams.

With just less than three months to go before its release in November, there are high expectations if the reboot of Call of Duty with the Advanced Warfare release will provide a new gaming experience for those who are souring on the gameplay of Call of Duty. Even if the features remind us of rival game titles, have Sledgehammer put something together that one can say, "Yeah, it's really a new Call of Duty game."? We'll find out in November.
