Advanced Warfare: Sledgehammer looking at "opportunities" to recreate classic Call of Duty maps
Sledgehammer Games has told VG247 it's looking at opportunities to recreate classic Call of Duty maps in Advanced Warfare.
According to co-founder Michael Condrey, players of the latest Havoc DLC are asking how Exo abilities and verticality can be added to classic franchise maps.
"We’re taking a look at some opportunities to really highlight the vertical gameplay mechanics in some reimagined franchise favorites."
"One new piece of feedback we have heard in Havoc is the fan desire to see some classic maps make their way to Advanced Warfare, and we’re taking a look at some opportunities to really highlight the vertical gameplay mechanics in some reimagined franchise favorites moving forward, like we did with Atlas Gorge," said Condrey.
"Verticality is a key component of the new movement set in Advanced Warfare, and we’ve doubled down on that for Havoc," he added. "We’re about to drop some news on how we’re pushing even further into that space in the coming DLC offerings, so stay tuned for more soon."
The Havoc DLC for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has just been released on PS4 and PC, after a period of exclusivity on Xbox One.
So far, players are digging the changing map dynamic of Drift and the weird-out vibes of Sideshow, according to Condrey.
"Feedback has been well received, and some of the new ways to play in the Havoc maps have really resonated with fans.
"The avalanche dynamic event in Drift is a fan favorite, as is the more sinister flavor of Sideshow with its creepy clowns and wide open sight lines. The AE4 is also hit, bringing the benefits of a directed energy weapon to the AR class for the first time."
