As much as an improvement AW was from Ghosts, I agree. AW just seems like that it was trying to imitate black ops 2 just going by superficial observations, almost as if it was a very convincing imitation, it just didn't have the soul black ops 2 did.

And the map packs lack in cosmetics, it's too arena like, nothing really to look at, no items to gaze at, no architecture that really stood out to me, like it did in the last call of duties. it just seems to empty and bland. Granted that there are a few maps that have those little added feature that give it a sense of battling at a once occupied place where casual life once was.
