The leak is particularly problematic, Schofield added, because "discovery while playing is part of the fun." Though he seemed upset over the leak, he's also taking everything in stride. After all, this isn't his first rodeo. "It will all be good, just saying," Schofield concluded.
Yesterday, Twitch user Anfuny29 (as reported by MP1st) broadcasted Advanced Warfare from an early copy of the upcoming shooter. The stream (and the channel, too) were swiftly shut down, but not before new gameplay features such as a 30-kill "DNA Bomb" scorestreak were revealed. If you manage to rack up 30 kills in one life, you'll activate the bomb that will leave behind a "green mist" that spreads throughout the entire map before dissipating. Effects of the mist are unknown, but presumably it will have a damaging effect on your enemies.
It is unclear how the Twitch user was able to get a copy of the game ahead of its release or if Advanced Warfare publisher Activision plans to pursue any legal action against the streamer.
Advanced Warfare officially launches on November 4, but if you preorder the game, you'll be able to play a day earlier. For more on Advanced Warfare, which is coming to Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
