Title: Post-Release Modification of Gameplay Systems in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare: A Case Study of the RG Mechanics REPACK

Abstract

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014) introduced significant mechanical innovations, primarily the Exo suit, which enabled vertical traversal and boosted mobility. However, unofficial repacks—specifically the RG Mechanics release—often implement patches that alter these mechanics. This paper examines the technical nature of the RG Mechanics repack, identifying which original game mechanics are modified, bypassed, or restored.
