7 Games That Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare Is “Borrowing” From

6) Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

Gruff, faceless soldiers using highly advanced military tech to covertly take out a shady militia? Not even I can decide which game I’m currently describing… Future Soldier and Advanced Warfare are hardly poles apart by name alone, but watching the trailer for the latter leaves you with a more than potent whiff of ‘seen it all before.’

The heavy reliance on unmanned drones, the emphasis on cover, walking tank-turret, the invisibility camo. It’s all there, and it’s all Tom Clancy. Future Soldier was actually a delightful little game, too, and managed to bring something a little different to the usual by-the-numbers warmongering of shooters today. Emphasis on the word ‘little,’ though. It wasn’t exactly a revolution of the formula, but it was one of mankind’s biggest leaps when compared with, say, downloadable content that allows Snoop Dogg to announce your kills – which scientists recently confirmed was indeed the most ridiculous thing ever to have occurred, ever.
