GameInformer<\/a>\u00a0has released more details about the next instalment of the Call of Duty franchise, Advanced Warfare.<\/p>\n

The US publication has exclusive access to new information about the game – hence the watermarked images, below – from the developers, and in their latest feature they detail some of the game’s new weapons and vehicles.<\/p>\n

Among the new in-game items are a hover bike, 3D printer rifle (it makes its own bullets), the impressive-looking exo suits, a plasma-powered rifle, and a vertical-lift aircraft. Read all the details from GameInformer’s exclusive, below.<\/p>\n

Hover Bike<\/h3>\n

“The hover bike is one of Advanced Warfare’s most futuristic vehicles. Sledgehammer referenced real-life vehicles like motorcycles and snowmobiles for a grounded design starting point. The windshield is composed of smart glass, allowing the UI to meld with others in the game.”<\/p>\n

“The angular armor, designed to deflect enemy fire, shifts with the bike as it moves. Players ride the advanced one-man bikes through the flooded streets of Detroit, fleeing from enemy forces at high speeds.”<\/p>\n

3D Printer Rifle<\/h3>\n

“Sledgehammer is tapping into 3D printer technology for this weapons inspiration, looking far into the future to see what might be possible on the battlefield. Players load in a canister of liquid matter and rack it by pulling back on the bolt.”<\/p>\n

“Once housed, the internal computer begins printing ammunition on the spot. Players can see the number of bullets created as a digital ammo counter increases. Sledgehammer is still tinkering with the fire rate and power of the 3D printer rifle, but it should dramatically reduce reload time.”<\/p>\n

Plasma Rifle<\/h3>\n

“Referencing D.A.R.P.A. (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) experiments and public military prototypes, this plasma rifle is among the more futuristic weapons we saw during our trip to Sledgehammer Games. While we didn’t see this portable rifle in action, other large energy weapons are on display in Advanced Warfare’s campaign.”<\/p>\n

“In the sequence leading to the attack on the Golden Gate Bridge, players drive a high-tech SUV equipped with a turret that fires blue blasts, devastating other enemy vehicles. This smaller plasma rifle should be similarly effective against foot soldiers.”<\/p>\n

Exo Suit<\/h3>\n

“The Exo is the mechanical backbone of Advanced Warfare’s journey into the year 2054. In Sledgehammer’s universe, the Exo began as a clunky mechanical suit that became more elegant as technology and design evolved. Modern-day exosuit prototypes are bulky and require heavy batteries to operate, but these strength and agility augmenting suits become more sleek and versatile in Advanced Warfare’s future.”<\/p>\n

“The Exo allows players to jump higher, run faster, lift heavy objects, and more. Players can even punch through doors to initiate the dramatic slow-motion breach sequences from previous Call of Duty games. Certain characters can also enter mechanical suits with moving plates of heavy armour that quickly protect them.”<\/p>\n

Tanks and Aircraft<\/h3>\n

“Sledgehammer predicts the function of military vehicles like MRAPs (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected), tanks, and helicopters won’t change in the future, but the form will continue to change. For example, the aircraft carrier in Advanced Warfare is still recognizable, but Sledgehammer envisions a future where all flying vehicles have vertical takeoff, which eliminates the need for a runway.”<\/p>\n

“With that in mind, Advanced Warfare’s aircraft carrier is littered with platforms that rise up from inside the ship, allowing planes and helicopters to be reloaded.”<\/p>\n
