So are people more excited about the release of AC as opposed to COD:AW? I've never really been into these franchises and I want to get one of them. What would ya'll suggest?

Depends what you want. If you're into arcadey first person shooters and like playing multiplayer then get COD:AW. If you prefer singleplayer stealth with the occasional multiplayer then get AC.

Personally I think the AC series is one of the best gaming series but after 5 or 6 games the format is getting a little old. Will still buy it 'cause I still love it but it loses its feel after a few games. If you've never played the series though it's a real treat.

Forgot to mention something I hate about Advanced Warfare (about the PC edition). It has the same issues as Ghosts which they didn't seem to bother fixing. Occasionally it has a memory leak which crashes the game (changing some video setting fixes it), it lags and goes out of sync during cut scenes and every time you change a single graphics setting it has to play the entire mission intro cut scene again. You'd think they'd fix these things by now but they're PC issues and consoles are more important.

I remember hearing a lot of people talking about long install times on the Xbone. When I finally got my Xbone I had no idea what they were talking about. Played Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive and a few other games with only a small reload time. Today I picked up Dead Rising 3 for 19 bucks (with a working Day One edition DLC code). 2 hours later and it's installed 10% so far.

Just under 5 hours and Dead Rising 3 has installed 46%. Good thing I have COD:AW and Lords of the Fallen on other systems to play in the mean time.

I have COD AW and dont mind it to be honest. Takes a bit of getting used to the Halo style movements. Not the biggest fan of that, but hey something different.
Can play Multi-player without it also. Multi-player is a step up from Ghosts I believe.
Played a little of the Campaign so far, pretty good.

Looking forward to Far Cry 4 though, have that one pre-ordered.

Other way around. Far Cry was made first then the studio split. One half went off the make Crysis while the other half kept making Far Cry games.

Agreed. The bonus of this is that it's fast and allows you to come at them from more angles similar to Titanfall. Once you get the hang of it campers stand no chance 'cause they can't cover all their angles.

Cant stand c.o.d. online when I used to play it I wouldn't exactly camp but try to be strategic .but acording to 12 year old kids with 2 much time on their hands if you're not running around like a spastic with a knife in your hands non stop your camping.
And I also made the biggest mistake of playing it with a head set

Playing cod now. Really enjoying it. I wasn't expecting to like it too much with all the futuristic shit but I think they've done it pretty well actually

Ahh yeah, I get what you mean. It pretty much is. The difference being that COD has double jump

Worth it ?

Playing the crew beta atm its ok

Picked up Titanfall on the Xbone for cheap. Played it a fair bit on PC and never really enjoyed it. So far on Xbone it's 100 times better. Just feels so much better. Controller makes a big difference too.

On PC you run like crazy for 2 seconds then die. Respawn and if you're lucky you'll survive for 5 seconds this time before you drop dead. When everyone is using controllers it really equals the playing field and makes the game more fun.
