11 Reasons Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare Has Saved The Series

4. The Sounds

The sound design in Advanced Warfare is absolutely stunning, even when measured up against the series' heavy-hitting competitors. With a set of good headphones, immersion is enhanced immensely on the battlefield, with bullets whipping overhead and explosions rumbling in the distance. "It goes through your body, into your bones, and your skull. You hear it in your ear, and it sounds completely different," claimed Sledgehammer Games' Don Veca in an interview. It's clear that the team put a lot of effort into making the audio as impressive as the visuals, and the payoff is something that draws the player in with weighty, satisfying gunfire and battlefields that feel truly alive.
