How has this game never had coop campaign?

No coop campaign, no buy for me

The campaign is too linear for it to be co-op.  There are co-op game modes though that look really cool. I haven't tried them yet.

I just wish this series would have stayed closer to reality and just continued to improve that model versus going futuristic and mayhem...but I can completely understand that a large number of people get enjoyment out of this type of game.

i can understand the FPS developers too.

every new year or two of adolescenting young boys need their very own crafted version of virtual 'playing tag'.
Dressing up in a nice 'operator' costume which also provide some unseen perks and chasing each others in a childish to hilarious way on a virtual playground, while sipping on a coke and not in danger to lose one single calorie doing so (in opposite to realworld tag-style games, maybe paintball, airsoft or even sports) or actually melt down their brains with situational awareness, analysis and ongoing life or death tactical decisions on the battle field  (i recon DVG's Warfighter card games is closer to realworld tactics then last CoD's ...well, dropping a canteen to get 3 new options card, OK its a fun- game not a study tool from the Infantry School at Hammelburg) 

The boys also don't want to play their granddads FPS , that 'now boring to death' installment from 15 month ago or so.
So what should they do in the FPS marketing departments, WW II is milked, Angola 69, Falkland or Jom Kippur interesting nobody (beside some old men -like yours truly ;) - ranting on some obscure forum on the outer rim of the internet), ongoing wars are Political Incorrect (you will sell worldwide! and IS-loving Arabs offspring has a console too, and good'ol WW I has no über-perks to glue to your K98, so not even dare think about Gettysburg .... so let's move to SiFi
and so here we are.

This is not true, CoD World at War had a campaign that could be played cooperatively and also in Competitive Co-op (every player trying to get the most score while playing the campaign together). I agree that this should have been the standard for every CoD after WaW and I don't see any reason why this is not so...

There is coop zombie hunting mode right?

[Grimnirsson]

The coop mode in AW is pretty much like Survival in MW3 and there are Zombies showing up in the later part of the waves (I read) but it's not a Zombie mode like in the Blops series. I'm fine with that because although Zombies were cool in Blops the whole mode was too confusing imho and I didn't have the patience to figure out what to do etc.. I liked MW3's Survival though so this is Survival with some cool future gadgets. The best coop stuff is still Spec Ops though but it seems these mini military missions are over...  :-\

Twas the night before my birthday and I get to open one present early. Hello Advanced Warfare for the PC. But wait put in disk 1 and all that happens is a stuttering sound from the DVD drive. Refusal to load and no idea how to sort it. Yes it reads disks 3 to 6 but 1 and 2 stutter around. Someone just shat on my birthday cake.
Just to enhance the aroma of shite, the disk opens on my kid's lesser spec laptop. Oh why does it always rain on me.  >:(

[JudgeDredd]

Can't you just use the key and register the game on Steam anyway? Chances are, Steam will take over installing the files anyway

And happy birthday

Thanks Dread, I finally got there through sleeping in 1 hour bursts between midnight and 6am. Only COD and FM can induce this level of gaming commitment in me.

Unfortunately the game is having MAJOR lag issues right now, it's practically unplayable - across all platforms. No dedicated servers and a broken lag compensation...man they make so much money from this franchise and all are happy because the current CoD is really fun and then they don't want to shell out the bucks for dedicated servers risking that the good game is ruined by bad tech...
