Joystiq Streams: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare pays it forward [CANCELED]

After 11 years, Call of Duty has followed an unexpected evolutionary path. The road to Advanced Warfare – which we awarded 4 stars in our review – looks more like the one stretching between entries in '80s horror franchises. Friday the 13th was about a slasher attacking teenagers and it ended with a 9-foot tall Jason Vorhees killing people on a spaceship. Call of Duty went from straight faced aping of Saving Private Ryan to an annually updated sport married to Roland Emmerich-ian spectacle. From storming Normandy to rocket packs and Kevin Spacey. How did we get here?

Starting at 4:00PM EST on Joystiq.com/Twitch, we'll be checking out the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare campaign, discussing the evolution of the series over the past decade and wondering aloud if this game is actually a sequel to K-PAX.


Joystiq.com/Twitch broadcasts every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:00PM EST, but streams like these happen all the time throughout the week so make sure to follow us on Twitch to know when we go live.
