It looks interesting but the MP looks too much like BOII with jet packs
I have heard a few people complain about lag/hit detection as well as enemies absorbing bullets like sponges

Don't think I played Black Ops II at all and I thought Ghosts sucked. It's been a while since I've played the others, but AW didn't seem to have as much stealth, but there are a couple of parts where you have to stay undetected, and a couple of other parts where you have nothing more than a pistol.
IIRC, there was more stuff to figure out on your own in the MWs, where this is more presentation and story (not that it's completely lacking in that aspect)... it's a pretty straightforward shooter game, but even during the times when it's like 'hey, press x now...', you're at least doing some pretty unique stuff. And I think the graphics/presentation might actually get better as you go along.... not to over hype it (well, maybe a little), but holy shit some of it looks amazing.
Didn't have any lag issues, killing enemies seemed to be about the same, outside of the jet pack stuff. The side to side movements are kind of annoying at times, almost to the point that it seems like they're dodging bullets (annoying when you're trying to hit a guy, too, but at least that's realistic).
If you're only playing single player, renting it is probably the way to go, since it's straightforward and there isn't a lot of extra stuff to do. I really liked some of the MW multiplayer maps, and even though I haven't found one I really like so far in AW, the CPU AI seems to be improved and it's more difficult at the moment.
