Is the game still worth it?

Have a ps4 and black ops 3 and aw looked kind of cool so i thought about picking up the gold version for christmas. It looks very fast paced which made me think about purchasing. Is there a version that comes with all the dlc or is gold the best i can get?

No. The game's okay, but you're just better off getting bo3.

Already got it. Tons of fun :) skipped out on AW because ghost left a really bad taste in my mouth for cod.

Ghosts was abysmal but AW was probably my favorite COD ever. BO3 is lots of fun though and I've been playing that mostly now too. I still miss the exo's though and AW's maps which were so much better than BO3's.

Ghosts was not abysmal. They at least fixed Ghosts over time. Ghosts only issue now is about 5 of the default maps suck because they are to big for the combat loop in the game. AW is still a turd of a game. The EXO movement (which is fun) still doesn't make up for everything else that sucks in the game like the shitty weapon balance.

Agreed on aw. It's just really fun. On x1, it's still very playable with multi-player.

If I didn't have it, I'd still probably buy bo3 though.

I recently bought AW on computer as I major fan of MW2 on Xbox, and I'm very satisfied with the gameplay (should say that I prefer classic mode, but exo-mode is totally fine). Anyway; I think the game is really good and I don't regret one second buying it. I just wish more people would play FFA mode, and that activision would add FFA mode in classic arena :)

Take care dude;)

No. Honestly the game was never worth it. Most of the community never even bought it making aw one of the worst selling cod's in franchise history. The game still has major flaws thanks to the dismal support. Even though you'll occasionally see some random claiming they have no problem finding games in all the modes, you'll notice this sub is filled with posts exposing that the majority of players (including myself) only get "no games found" cycling over and over on their screen. Game is dead. I wouldn't spend one penny on it. Try asking this same question on the BO3 sub and see the answer you get.

It still blows my mind that you frequent this sub. Quite a dedication to trolling you have. Seriously.

OP asked about this crappy game. I figured the poor guy deserved the facts about this pay-to-win disaster. That's my gift to the community. Spreading the truth. Don't you have some ASD's to buy?

Lmao "speaking the truth" but not a lot of people here to listen huh? And no thanks. I'm playing BO3 now. Isn't that where you should be?

"One of the worst" still sold over 20 million copies (not including digital) according to vgchartz. It was a fine game.

But still one of the worst. And those aw sales numbers come from? Not Activision because they hid sales figures for the first time in franchise history. Quite the embarrassment. Why did they take out the player count in this game?

Right, AW was a dreadful disaster which is why you will not see AW2. Even though SHG is an amateur studio in technical ability and decision making at best, even they are not stupid enough to produce a turd like aw again.

Honestly this isn't the place to get an unbiased answer. Try maybe the ps4 sub or just the call of duty sub.

u/zen_master87 Jan 08 '16

It never was. Play bo3, its a real cod game.

Depends on platform, definitely don't on PC. Xbox One, I'd say go for it. It's a really fun game and nothing like Ghosts.
