Not really, if you know the basics of movement and aiming you will be fine.
Remember that COD is casual. The time to kill is so short that it reduces the skill gap quite a lot. It is a mix of good positioning, reaction time and randomness due to connection.

I keep tabs on the game, it's looking interesting, but I can't see myself ever going back to COD after MW2. After that they just rehashed the same stuff year after year and only now are they actually trying.
It changed the industry and not in a good way.

My k/d is higher these days than when I was younger.
CoD is easier than destiny and wayyyy easier than halo. The low ttk means positioning and situational awareness will trump thumbskill easily if you play smart.
Pretty good, but some questionable rhymes in there :L. I could see this going viral, and I will say I saw it before it was cool. Thanks for the link!

Anyone know if you can take a guest online with split screen?
Like, a no PSN/XBL account guest? That's a good question.
If you mean a second local player with an account, then yes, in all three main modes (and probably all of the side modes too).
Guest? You mean Split screen online multiplayer? You can.
*EDIT* Not sure if its without a SN for the second player

Yeah my brother doesn't have a PSN account and was wondering if I can still do online split screen with him
I don't know about non-account players, but in the case that you can't just bring on a guest, it should be simple enough to just set your brother up with a PSN account. Takes like 3 minutes. So long as the main account of the PS4 has PS+, then all other users will be able to play online.
It was too easy, veteran on AW was easier than hardened on most of the older CODs

Sure there's not even any reviews yet.
I'm in my MID thirties and destroy in most COD games. Shooters have always been my go to though. Finely tuned skills form all the quake and unreal I suppose.

So, last year I bought and pre-loaded AW. 12 o'clock midnight and I think I can play, but nope. For some reason I still had to wait, something about other countries with different timezones and the game not being released worldwide yet. Will it be the same this year or did they fix it? That was such bullshit.
No siree bob. Just make sure that whichever account does have PS+ has that PS4 set as its primary PS4.

Well I'm 36 and I played CoD since the first one. Before that I played a lot of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.
Both MOHAA and Call of Duty on PC. I moved to Cod 2 and later CoD 3, both on XBOX 360.
Played Modern Warfare on PC, WaW on PS3, MW2, 3, Black Ops 1 and 2, Ghosts and AW all on PC.
Except I didn't really "play" Ghosts, because it was an unoptimised sack of shit that didn't even run properly on a i7 with 16gb of RAM and a R9 290......
Moved to AW on XBONE, got bored.
So all in all, I'm in my 30's with 12 years of CoD experience. Hell, even I fail hard at tims. But CoD is the most accessable shooter there is. I told many to try it. Some aren't playing for more than a few weeks and they manage to do pretty damn well.
On the consoles it's more accessable than PC because of the aim assist. On PC your aiming is more important and therefore harder to master.
It's not age, but just getting used to the pacing. Doesn't matter if you're 18 or 35.
It's not like Battlefield where you get pummeled from all angles without even catching a glimpse of your foe. Or you end up running around getting 0 kills in.
CoD is more over the top, fast gameplay. Anyone who isn't blind as a bat should get at least a couple of kills every match.

Was wondering this too, I've just received my copy and all
It's all good, only got another 6 hours at work
It's true that it was easier, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Some COD campaigns on veteran difficulty really aren't all that fun. In many cases the challenge isn't well designed. It just becomes a trial and error slog against a wall of bullets.
COD4, MW2, BLOPS, BLOPS2, Ghosts, and AW are the only COD campaigns I actually bothered completing on veteran. The ones I most enjoyed doing so were probably Ghosts and AW, and they're by far the easiest.

Already got BLOPS 3 for PS4. The campaign sucks, ingame performance is bad, cutscenes capped @30FPS, lol. Graphics are better than AW but the performance is like Killzone SF without framecap.
Besides that the game makes my PS4 (CUH 1200) scream like hell. Compared to this Bloodborne was inaudible.... :-/

This is relevant information that should be known BEFORE the game is out. :\
Hmm, the campaign sucks as in it is bad or because "30 fps lol"?

Two different problems. ;-) What I wanted to say is that the story sucks imo. Advanced Warfare was like a blockbuster compared to this and also better written (sic). Black Ops 3 is more like a pretty bad B-Movie with terrible dialogue.
But hey, graphics are good, so far the best in the series imo.
Unfortunately at the cost of performance....Bornstellar

Oh dear, and I found AW's story dull and predictable. No offense, but this is just one person's opinion so I remain hopeful; I will however temper my expectations a bit on the campaign front. Thanks for the info!
Still very hyped for MP/Zombies.
MP played flawless to me so I can care less about one guys opinion of the campaign, which will be fun regardless with co-op
I mean co-op made halo 5 enjoyable and that was nothing more than
"Fight prometheans, walk 50 feet, fight more prometheans, take this elevator, fight more prometheans every 8 floors"

Same here but it was like "well, this is ok for such a game". Storywise BLOPS 3 is just worse imo.

Well that kinda sucks. Glad I know before spending any cash though.

For what it's worth, despite its abrupt ending, I really enjoyed AW's campaign.

Does the campaign have any of the branching that the second game did?

I don't trust those emoji.

Yep. Looks like the best looking CoD to date. And probably even after what shit IW is cooking.
ohh.,.. you are one of the persons who went through several PS4's because they were loud.
