14 DAY TRIAL // Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the biggest shooter release of the fall, and the development team at Sledgehammer Games has been offering the fan base a little more information about some of the core features and the included modes, in order to increase the hype level for the title.
Michael Condrey, one of the co-founders at Sledgehammer Games, has been very active on Twitter and has talked about the way bots will be integrated in the title via a new mode called the Combat Readiness Program, which is designed to allow all player to test out loadouts and to practice their moves before they jump into actual matches.
The feature has been requested by the community and it seems that the development team is listening to their requests, although it is still unclear how extensive their presence will be.
The game maker also says that in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare aims assists will exist on the home console versions of the shooter because there's no other technical way of making the control scheme work but that gamers will be able to completely turn it off if they are so inclined.
Condrey also says that the Supply Drops feature, one of the pillars of the new multiplayer experience, can deliver a lot of content for players even if they are only playing cooperative or in the solo campaign.
Camos can be earned using the new system of packages but there are also ways to obtain them via more traditional means, by simply leveling up a character.
A third-person view mode is also apparently in development for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare but Sledgehammer Games says that it will not be offered on launch day.
The multiplayer experience of the new shooter is based on the exo-skeleton and its various abilities, and the developers have put together 12 game modes, including two new ones called Momentum and Uplink.
The studio is also enhancing the personalization elements for all characters and the customization for battle is also better, with scorestreaks that can be selected by the player and with the ability to execute them cooperatively.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be launched on the PC, the Xbox One, the 360, the PlayStation 4 and the PS3 on November 4, and gamers who pre-order will get a Day Zero edition which allows them to play multiplayer one day earlier and to get double the experience for the pre-launch period.
@GaryHamlett3 @GlenSchofield yes, in a mode we are tentatively calling Combat Readiness Program, and yes, in every mode.

@OpTicMiDNiTE @z0mgItsHutch Aim assist has not been reduced. However there are now options to turn it off.
