I don't get the hate for Advanced Warfare. From the day they implemented the grappling hook to the day I couldn't find enough players to form a lobby anymore was some of the most fun I've ever had in Call of Duty, MW2-awesomeness included. The freedom of movement had the same feel as rail-jumping back in my addiction-to-Quake days.
Fast forward to BOTG Blops 4 and most maps look designed for advanced movement with clear paths and ledges people could take/reach with "AdMo" but nope, COD devs always listen to the wrong side of the fandom from the quickscoper coddling days to this boots on the ground mandate.
Infinite Warfare sold like crap (because of clusterfuck art and level design IMO) and thus Activision forced BOTG on a game that built for AdMo (y'know, I feel the acronym AdMo makes sentences including it sound dumber, I'm going AM from now on because less typing) and now we're here, lumbering along the floor of maps with verticality still obvious from before Activision made the call that probably made every developer working that day wonder if the money and benefits was reeaaaally worth this crap. But I digress.
What Infinite Warfare did wrong wasn't AM (aaaah), it was not giving players a good enough way to fight back against highly mobile enemies other than having "hardcore player" aim. Titanfall devs saw the writing on the wall immediately and that's why they had a (well balanced IM-unpopular-O) auto-lock-on machine pistol that anyone fed up with getting ROFLstomped by Jimmy Jetpack could equip to even the playing field. If the same sort of attention to the pain points raised by AM were attended to in Advanced Warfare I'd be able to boost up on one of those tantalizing god damn ledges on the Morocco map that are clearly meant for it.
Bitter, who me? I only pre-ordered the (non-refundable, un-resellable) digital deluxe edition (admittedly while stoned and with more money than usual in my account). Why on Earth would I be bitter?
But yeah, for realness: BO4, first DLC needs to include an Advanced Movement mode.
