Sledgehammer Games’ co-founder Michael Condrey is at it again answering questions about the studio’s upcoming shooter coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, but not Wii U.

According to Tweets from Condrey, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will not be making its way to Nintendo’s latest platform this year. He says the studio is “focused on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.” We do know, however, that Advanced Warfare is still landing on Microsoft and Sony’s previous-gen hardware and — though we’ve no specifics — that it’s being developed or ported by a separate studio.

Condrey then went on to answer a few more inquiries about Advanced Warfare’s multiplayer game modes, mentioning that there will, in fact, be 13 at launch, which is plus one in addition to the intel we were previously given. Sadly, Demolition will not be one of them. Myself and fellow MP1st co-founder Fahed were particular admirers of this one!

Condrey did, however, confirm that, in addition to Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, Search & Rescue, and Capture the Flag, more familiar Call of Duty game modes will be making a return.

A few specifics on Advanced Warfare’s Hardcore playlist were also dropped, including the fact that Hardcore modes will “definitely” be Team Kill and not Ricochet, meaning friendly fire will kill teammates, as in older Call of Duty titles, instead of harming the shooter.

As for weapons, Condrey also confirmed that more “traditional” Call of Duty weapons, like the AK-47, will be returning. Furthermore, the studio has “got you covered” on customizable camos for those weapons. He also mentioned that DLC weapon camos are a probability.

@1422644 no, no WiiU. That was an Activision decision. We are focused on XboxOne, PS4, and PC.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare hits shelves on November 3 for those picking up the Day Zero Edition. Be sure to catch the most recent details on our dedicated Advanced Warfare page, as Sledgehammer has been spilling a ton of info since the game’s official multiplayer reveal.

What was rather ambiguous during the reveal of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s multiplayer is now becoming clearer as Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey continues to interact with fans of the studio’s upcoming shooter.

On Twitter, Condrey was able to confirm to one questioner that practice bots will be featured in a mode the studio is tentatively calling the “Combat Readiness Program.” Practice bots have been a heavily requested feature since they were last available in Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Ghosts and it appears Sledgehammer continuing the trend.

Elsewhere, Condrey dropped a few more details on Advanced Warfare’s Supply Drops feature, confirming that they will unlock multiplayer content through the game’s single player campaign and will offer rewards based on difficulty level. He also mentioned that weapon camos can still be unlocked traditionally, in addition to camos earned through Supply Drops.

Lastly, Condrey offered a few specifics on aim assist in Advanced Warfare and confirmed that a third-person view mode will not be available at launch.

Check out his Tweets below:

@GaryHamlett3 @GlenSchofield yes, in a mode we are tentatively calling Combat Readiness Program, and yes, in every mode.

@OpTicMiDNiTE @z0mgItsHutch Aim assist has not been reduced. However there are now options to turn it off.

@JestoniOpinaldo yes, some will be like that and rewarded off challenges completed.

— Michael Condrey (@MichaelCondrey) August 17, 2014

@Prove_Jawz yes

— Michael Condrey (@MichaelCondrey) August 17, 2014

@SnazzyPanic you can unlock camos or earn weapon loot with cool camos already on them

— Michael Condrey (@MichaelCondrey) August 17, 2014

@Nlt601 not at launch.

Condrey’s been on a bit of a streak with intriguing multiplayer announcements. Earlier, he confirmed that Advanced Warfare will offer a traditional multiplayer playlist that does away with Exo Abilities and Exo movements. He also touched on dynamic maps, hardcore game modes, and prestige details.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare hits current and previous gen consoles and PC on November 3.

According to Sledgehammer Games co-founders Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, Call of Duty fans who aren’t to keen on Advanced Warfare’s new exoskeleton-powered gameplay will still have something to look forward to when it launches this November.

Speaking to DvLZStaTion, Condrey explained that the studio is throwing a playlist into Advanced Warfare’s multiplayer that won’t feature the Exo Suit or any of its abilities, offering a more traditional Call of Duty multiplayer experience for those interested.

“…we also understand that some players may want to go back to a more traditional style,” he said. “So, there’ll be a traditional playlist where you can play Team Deathmatch, Domination, Capture the Flag, and others without Boost Jump, without your Exo. So, you and your friends who want to play that way, we’ll have a playlist just for you.”

Earlier, Condrey answered a few questions from curious fans about their shooter, talking about time-to-kill, the lack of any Dead Silence perk, dynamic maps, and more. He also revealed that Advanced Warfare will have split-screen and 10 or 15 Prestige levels.

Does Advanced Warfare’s traditional playlist sound like your cup of tea, or are you excited to try out some of the new Exo Abilities? Maybe a mix of both?

Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey recently dropped by the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare sub-reddit to gather feedback on the game’s multiplayer reveal and answer a few questions from the community.

“We put a lot out there at our MP reveal during Gamescom,” he told fans. “We’ve spent three years listening to feedback, and I hope everyone could see that we’ve responded to that feedback in a big way in AW. Between the MP reveal keynote and posts by press & fans who have gotten hands on now, I’m curious where we still have opportunities.”

Here’s what he had to say.

On no Dead Silence in Advanced Warfare:

“We’ve got a different, and we what this is better, solution for Dead Silence in the works. If we are wrong, we’ll bring it back. But I don’t think that is going to be the case.”

On more Scorestreaks at launch:

“Yes, more scorestreaks and scorestreak modules to come”

On why Scavenger does not replenish equipment:

“We’ve got a number of perk changes we’ve prototyped and considered. The key is balance, and ensuring none are OP relative to their peers in the group, or across other choices in Pick 13.”

On time-to-kill:

“We’re still balancing but we feel its closer to BO2 than Ghosts. That’s our target.”

On dynamic maps:

“thanks. Yes, some maps will have dynamic events that trigger at the same time every time – we believe that leads to better strategy around how to master the map. Others may have map based score streaks earned through care packages. Others may have both, or neither.”

On multi-team game modes in Advanced Warfare:

“Its not currently in plans for AW for Nov 4.”

On fall damage

“No, unless you boost out of bounds.”

Good on Sledgehammer for getting so intimate with the Call of Duty community, despite making Activision PR as nervous as it likely does. What’s your take on Advanced Warfare’s multiplayer reveal? What sort of feedback would you give Sledgehammer?

Yesterday, Condrey revealed on Twitter that Advanced Warfare will indeed feature Hardcore game modes and that the studio is still deciding between 10 or 15 Prestige Levels. Read more here.
