I'm quite happy to embrace unrealistic features in games that don't take themselves seriously; I'm a fan of OTT for the sake of OTT. My issue with AW was that Sledgehammer made a bunch of bullshit claims along the lines of "this is what the future of warfare is going to be like; they're experimenting with this tech thus it'll be standard issue in 2050". I suppose it was purely marketing but still, kind of irritating. Should've just admitted it was dumb sci-fi fluff (and I don't really mean that as an insult).

The Exos work quite nicely in-game but they do feel really gimmicky; the core combat remains pretty much the same, the Exos basically just make map navigation easier. I don't really have a problem with that but I can't see the Exos returning in a future CoD game (besides AW2). They're something that I can live without.
