10 Changes in Call of Duty Game:Advanced Warfare-Part 5

After details of the next Call of Duty were leaked online ahead of the game's intended official reveal, Activision has now announced that this years Call of Duty will be called Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's release date is set for 4 November 2014, and here's what's changed

9. DRONES

Another addition is that of new drones. Although drones have appeared in the franchise before, Advanced Warfare seems to place considerable emphasis on unmanned vehicles. We saw groups of them being deployed in what looks like a singleplayer portion of the game, but there’s one sequence when a soldier tosses a turret drone into the air. That moment looks a lot more like something we’d see in multiplayer. Who doesn’t want a little buddy following them around that would fill enemies full of lead? No one that’s who.

10.SPIDER TANKS

Not only did we see hoverbikes in the trailer, but there was also a scene that showed a spider tank terrorizing anyone that got near it. Again, we don’t know if this would show up in multiplayer, but having a speedy hover bike go up against a slow but powerful tank sounds like something we’d like to experience online.

7.DEPLOYABLE COVER

Now that you or a teammate can throw down cover almost anywhere, we’re guessing this will be essential to your survival on a hectic battlefield. Imagine a game of capture the flag with a few defenders using this ability. It’s going to make it a whole lot harder to score a point when your opponent is effectively using their cover to defend their flag, or having set up a nice little sniper spot for themselves.

8.HOVER BIKES

Getting from point a) to point b) never looked so good. Not only do these bikes look fast, but they also look deadly when hurdling a barrage of bullets at anyone in the way. We haven’t seen mannable vehicles in Call of Duty multiplayer since World at War, so we’d be surprised to see hoverbikes made available to player online. Still, any big change to the series is a welcomed one in our book.

5.INFRARED GRENADES

Now, this is a big departure from everything we know about infrared in games. We can only assume that a grenade will have a limited area of effect and last only briefly, but a player that can see through walls in a highly trafficked area is going to be a force to be reckoned with in multiplayer.

6.LIGHTNET

This power was a little more ambiguous, but it appears as if it detects enemy movement, or at the very least, scans the terrain. While the exact benefits are unknown, it could be used to detect mines or equipment in an environment. We have more questions than answers for this one, but the blue light has us speculating and intrigued by it’s possible functions.
