Activision has finally revealed the multiplayer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare via a live stream, which you can check out above. They’ve also released the first trailer for the online component of the game, which can be seen below.
A ton of information was dropped during the live stream (which may or may not be over, depending on when you read this article), but thankfully, GameSpot was kind enough to compile it all into a nice streamlined list.
Give the video below a watch, and then continue to scroll down for a full rundown of what to expect from the multiplayer in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
