This game contains loot box randomised gambling mechanics where rewarded items can be duplicated.

The sole purpose of also allowing the items to be duplicates in loot boxes is to further frustrate and manipulate players into spending money.

This game offers bonus content to incentify players to pre-order the title before its release date. This means that if players wish to gain access to this content, they must forgo the ability to read reviews and bug reports in order to check the quality of the product before they purchase. Once launched, the pre-order bonuses are often unobtainable, meaning even though players will pay the same price, they will miss out on the content altogether.

The eleventh major installment in the Call of Duty series, the game was developed by Sledgehammer Games for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, while High Moon Studios developed the versions released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and Raven Software developed the game’s multiplayer and the Exo-Zombies mode.
Advanced Warfare was the first Call of Duty title to be primarily developed by Sledgehammer, following the supporting work the studio did on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 alongside Infinity Ward in 2011. The game was released on November 4, 2014, but a special edition titled the Day Zero Edition, which came with bonus in-game content, was released on November 3 for people who pre-ordered the game. The game was the first title in the series since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to not be released on any Nintendo consoles, and the last Call of Duty title to feature a single-player campaign mode for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
