In an interview with The Guardian, Sledgehammer Games <\/strong>has explained how it talked to a Pentagon adviser while making Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This fall’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is set 45 years in the future, but that doesn’t mean ‘realism’ has been thrown out the window. The plot is dystopian, seeing a private military corporation, Atlas<\/strong>, superseding the national military to fight a global terrorist threat. Warfare is highly technological, with soldiers being equipped with exo-skeletons.<\/p>\n

Sledghammer games talked to military advisers, futurologists, and a ‘scenario planner’ from the US Department of Defense to get advice about the likely conflicts of the future and technology. Atlas, the private military organization<\/strong> takes clear inspiration from Blackwater, the real defense company that became famous and notorious during the Iraq conflict of the 2000s.<\/p>\n

It’s not unusual for game developers to get advice from ‘real world’ experts, and that in itself is no guarantee of a good game. The last Medal of Honor game, ‘Warfighter’ was made with the help of members from the ‘Naval Special Warfare Development Group’, but it got a very poor critical reception, and possibly resulted in the long running series being shelved.<\/p>\n

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released for PC, PlayStation and Xbox on November 4th 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n
