Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare envisions a powerful future, where both technology and tactics have evolved to usher in a new era of combat for the franchise. Delivering a stunning performance, Academy Award® winning actor Kevin Spacey stars as Jonathan Irons - one of the most powerful men in the world - shaping this chilling vision of the future of war.
Power Changes Everything.
An Advanced World:
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare takes place in a plausible future in which technological progress and today’s military practices have converged with powerful consequences.
- In this carefully researched and crafted vision, Private Military Corporations (PMCs) have become the dominant armed forces for countless nations outsourcing their military needs, redrawing borders and rewriting the rules of war.
- And Jonathan Irons, the founder and president of the world’s largest PMC - Atlas Corporation - is at the center of it all.
An Advanced Soldier:
- Powerful exoskeletons evolve every aspect of a soldier’s battle readiness, enabling combatants to deploy with an advanced lethality and eliminating the need for specialization.
- The introduction of this gameplay mechanic delivers enhanced player movement and verticality through boost jumps and grappling, covert cloaking abilities, and biomechanics that provide unparalleled strength, awareness, endurance, and speed.
- With the advent of the exoskeleton and newly advanced armor and weaponry, every soldier commands tactical freedom in any terrain unlike ever before, fundamentally changing the way gamers play Call of Duty across all modes.
An Advanced Arsenal:
- Harnessing the power of next-gen platforms, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare introduces a new hi-tech, advanced arsenal and ability set, arming players with all-new equipment, technology, perks, and vehicles like hoverbikes and highly specialized drones.
- Players can also choose between standard ammunition and an all-new class of directed-energy weaponry that enables totally new gameplay dynamics.
- And with exoskeletons delivering a massive force multiplier and unprecedented tactical freedom, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare evolves every firefight.

Since I've bought just about every COD game (including the original COD and United Offensive), it's a given I'm gonna grab this one as well. Even if it has sucktastic gameplay, I don't care because Kevin Spacey's in in.

That's not what i meant mate, DX11 used to be compatible with DX10.
Would it be that much of an effort, if they just let the game disable dx11 features when it detects a dx10 card.
Even BF4 runs on DX10 cards, yeah dx10 is old now i understand, but them high-end cards can run pretty much any modern game still on decent settings.
But oh well, whats done is done right?

I wonder why they stopped making it support dx10, while their games are very well optimized.
Yes except for Ghosts ofc.
Why develop for DirectX 10, it takes extra effort! They're not targeting very old low end systems here, I see it as a good thing. If people say performance sucks and only have a DirectX 10 card, a Core 2 processor and 3 GB of RAM, it's the game developers fault, right?
Supporting only DirectX 11 means development and support should be a bit better over supporting both DirectX 10 and 11.
People have complained developers have not moved forward for a long time, and when they finally do, they complain that they have done so!
