Release platforms
Until we have reliable sources to confirm the game's release on platforms such as PC and PS4, it is original research to add such a fact to the article and making predictions about future events. Thanks, CR 4 ZE (t &bull; c) 11:20, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * , I don't think an Amazon listing is appropriate, whether or not it's been picked up by IGN. Amazon often uses placeholders like release platforms/windows. Why can't we simply wait for official confirmation before adding other platforms? CR 4 ZE (t &bull; c) 16:28, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * How's this? http://www.gamestop.com/collection/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare It links from the official trailer, at the end. Obi-WanKenobi-2005 (talk) 16:37, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I have to agree with Obi-Wan. Also, we know that Activision has already made it clear future Call of Duty games will have the PlayStation 4 as the lead platform. Not to mention, every time a Call of Duty game is released, the trailer only includes the Xbox systems because of the sponsorship by Microsoft. I think listings on industry websites such as Amazon.com and Gamestop is more than reasonable, although I do understand that reliable sources are best, I think just keeping the other platforms off is very stingy when everyone knows it is going to be multiplatform. Chambr (talk) 17:21, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, WP:Crystal Ball clearly says it is okay if the event is "almost certain to happen". Chambr (talk) 17:23, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It might be right, the game of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare scheduled to release at November 4, 2014 for PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360 and XBOX ONE as I think it would like this! -- Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 14:08, 3 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Reference of Activision making it clear that PlaySation 4 will be lead platform for future COD titles? I remember seeing an opinionated article on Charlie Intel about this right after the PS4 launch because of the lower resolution of Ghosts on Xbox One. However, there has not been concrete information saying anything more than that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanafan (talk • contribs) 17:11, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * From what we saw at E3 this past week, Xbox will continue to be the lead platform for the COD series. I don't see PlayStation taking the reigns anytime soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.13.8.1 (talk) 12:36, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Redirect
Since the game is not confirmed, I recommend merging whatever to the series' article and expanding out summary style when need be. Right now this article can only lead to bickering since the coverage is only rumors and no announcements. czar ♔  12:27, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Activision have officially revealed the debut trailer in wake of the leak. Given we're only two days from the purported "big reveal" I don't see that it's particularly worth it. By the time a merge discussion opened and got comments, the article would have enough content to stand on its own. CR 4 ZE (t &bull; c) 12:34, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The game is technically confirmed with the official release of the trailer after the leak, and the subject has enough coverage to stand on its own until May 4. ~Super Hamster  Talk Contribs 18:19, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Wii U release?
There has been no confirmation yet that the Nintendo Wii U will be receiving COD: AW. I believe that using a reference of a Wii U logo in a website's source code is not proof enough that the platform is receiving the title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanafan (talk • contribs) 17:02, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Which is why I recently removed the Wii U from the release platforms and added a note of this in the infobox. Wii U should not be included without an official announcement. Chambr (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Wii u has been confirmed by e3insider. e3insider.com/exhibitor/view/82/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare/29661/#!/exhibitor/view/82/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare/29661/
 * Until Sledgehammer or Activision makes an official announcement, it is not confirmed, regardless of what an insider says. Also, your source only tags the Wii U in the discussion, it never confirms a release. Chambr (talk) 17:59, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Possible confirmation of Wii U release - http://www.vg247.com/2014/06/09/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-ps3-xbox-360-wii-u-ports-coming-via-transformers-dev/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanafan (talk • contribs) 13:32, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Even though there is an article, no major websites like Joystiq, IGN, or Activision themselves have announced a Wii U release right now. It is all speculation at this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanafan (talk • contribs) 18:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Did Advanced Warfare leaked out in Wii U yet?! -- Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 18:48, 15 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Nope, Wii U is not announced yet! -- Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 01:13, 20 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep, just a few very random websites reporting that High Moon Studios is working on COD: AW port for 360, PS3, and Wii U - but again, no major outlet or Activision have reported an official release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanafan (talk • contribs) 19:28, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I add a description that Wii U has not been announced it yet for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare by High Moon Studios and Sledgehammer Games, unfortunately we don't have that yet. -- Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 03:04, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Iron Wolf *LEAKED* 2015 release
The Iron Wolf topic was real! People are now talking about it AdvancedWARFARE (talk) 03:58, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Do you have a link to it? SG 2090 04:03, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't have a link to it, Iron Wolf is different. Just a few days left that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released on November 4, 2014 by Sledgehammer Games and High Moon Studios. -- Allen (talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me) 17:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Day Zero Edition release
I made an edit to reflect that the Day Zero edition was not exclusive to North America but this was then changed by another user for no apparent reason. I see from the history the page is regularly victim to vandals but Ferret has reverted my edit without checking what I had done was correct.

Currently Release Date(s) show NA for the Day Zero Edition. This in incorrect as I know first hand Europe have the same access as do other parts of the world.

Secondly, the very first paragraph states "Also, a Day Zero Edition of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is set to release in North America a day before the classic game.", for the same reasons above this is factually incorrect.

PingPlay (talk) 10:29, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done It appears Day Zero is available everywhere, so I've updated the article to reflect that. Stickee (talk) 11:51, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

It might be a trivial request, but I would like a punctuation error under the "Gameplay" heading to be fixed. Currently, it reads "The general gun-play remains unchanged, apart from new mechanics, for example, certain guns will be able to recharge slowly." I would change it to read "The general gun-play remains unchanged, apart from new mechanics; for example, certain guns will be able to recharge slowly." (change comma after "mechanics" to a semicolon).

Plot correction...arm wasn't severed at the shoulder...
At the time of his injury, you can clearly see Mitchell's arm as he's being dragged away; and during the funeral scene, the camera pans down to show a solid portion of Mitchell's arm in a sling. That's not possible if his arm was cleaved at the shoulder. Peelman (talk) 12:49, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Multiplayer section
Can someone adding a section about the game's Multiplayer? Other CoD articles has information but not this one. Egon Eagle (talk) 01:18, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Irons and Irons
I've never played this game, but the plot section mentions a soldier named Irons, as well as Kevin Spacey's character, who has the same surname. Are they supposed to be related? In real life, this would be considered a coincidence, but for a work of fiction, it's quite unusual. Are the characters related, as far as we know? --BDD (talk) 16:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Father and son, BDD Dibol (talk) 04:45, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * D'oh! It already says that. I just wasn't reading carefully enough. Thanks. --BDD (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

"Critical response" section needs to be corrected
"Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare received negative reviews from critics upon release. Josh Harmon from Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the game a 9/10..." This is self-conflicted.

Also, the score chart shows wrong scores, obviously conficted with Chinese version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.136.33.253 (talk) 23:49, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Just a bit of vandalism, already corrected. -- ferret (talk) 11:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

IW engine or in-house engine? It does say the engine is mostly build from scratch at http://charlieintel.com/2014/06/06/shgames-says-majority-of-advanced-warfares-engine-has-been-built-from-scratch/ 173.33.180.69 (talk) 21:02, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Jonathan Irons
There is an (obviously illegally) convicted man in Missouri Maya Moore fights for with the same name. Is this coincidential or by some purpose?--Mideal (talk) 14:05, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Should seem pretty obvious it's a coincident. -- ferret (talk) 16:11, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
