Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Infinity Ward has fallen in quality since MW 2 (the studio heads were fired), but none of their last 2 entries fell off a cliff either. Thus I expected another solid, yet forgettable, paint by the numbers entry. What we got is no AW or Black Ops but the studio clearly found their footing again. I can't say that I liked the overly scripted 1st hour, and the overall revenge story is very one-dimensional (John Snow is wasted as a villain), but the extremely bleak tone still ended up being memorable. It's still a shame that the robot partner is the only character with depth, as tragedies need a relatable cast to emotionally resonate. Well integrated set pieces, a more open campaign structure, and varied space battles or flying segment all ended up amounting to a much better game than i first expected. Even if the Veteran difficulty was again reduced to what older shooters would qualify as "normal". The regular multiplayer is exactly would you would expect, so I immediately moved on, but the zombie mode ended up being another surprise. This is the 1st time I enjoyed it, since its introduction. The amusement park map very open and the game mechanics got streamlined a lot too. The competing Titanfall 2 is slight better, but shooter fans should get both. 8/10

Okay first off, i am NOT a Call of Duty fan boy! I review games based on my personal opinion and experience. The multiplayer is nuts, all over the place, the hit detection isn't great but isn't awful eathier, the ttk(time to kill) is way to short, and the spawn points are not good. Now the Campaign is a whole different story, its awesome, its action, its a mix of battlestar gallactica, starship troopers and BOOTS ON THE GROUND....and in space lol, the only downside is its only 5-6 hours long, and then there is Zombies in Spaceland, they went with the whole 1980's retro themepark map, with 4 characters. Your typical jock,nerd,comic relief and stuck up bitch lol. Anyways it plays out like a movie where instead of rounds, their called scenes. You got tons of easter eggs from past COD games. Overall this is the best Cod in the past 5 years! Just play it, try it. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Plus if you bought the legacy edition, you got call of duty 4 MW REMASTERED. and by god its beautiful!! 7/10 cod IW 9/10 MWR

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for The Act Man to do a "Why Fallout New Vegas Was So Awesome I feel like Infinite Warfare would be such a great game if it was its OWN game instead of using the COD title. I honestly don't care what other people think, I thought the campaign was pretty good except for the way you kill the main antagonist it was kind of unfulfilling. And zombies was pretty good (Edit: I loved multiplayer. As someone who doesn't play online by following guidelines of this site "downsights", I love the fact that you can play gun game with bots or that the bots were actually decent opponents)

Everyone told me that this game sucked and I went ahead and played it for myself and I don't understand why people hated it. It's not perfect, but it's great in terms of campaign overall.

When the creators of this game were interviewed they seemed very passionate about this project and that passion really comes through in the game itself! The whole game drips with effort!

People said this is the worst COD. I don't get it! I think this is one of the best COD games!

The game is gorgeous! The settings have so much detail and there's always something going on in the image.

I like how it goes against the COD formula. Like with the mini boss fights, the side missions, and the most wanted cards, all of which are fun to do.

There's a lot of variety when it comes to the gameplay. You have all-out war, stealth, space gunfights, horror, and dogfights! Every one of them is intense and exciting in their own way.

All of the acting is great! Especially from Kit Harington, David Harewood, and Jim Pirri.

This has some of the best dialogue of any Call of Duty game. I walked away from every mission quoting lines. There are lines that are badass and ones that are genuinely funny.

The violence can be gory and satisfying, but also horrific.

All of the characters are likable and memorable, even the ones that don't have much to them. And you're afraid that any of them could die. And when one dies you feel bummed.

The SDF, despite some issues that I'll get into, are threatening as an antagonistic faction, and Salen Kotch (awesome name, seriously) is a good character in the sense he represents everything the faction is about. And boy oh boy do you HATE Kotch and the SDF! Harington brought a stubbornness, ruthlessness, and arrogance to the role that really made you anxious to kill Kotch. And the SDF is made up of a bunch of self-righteous, entitled fascist pigs who murder fleeing civilians and enjoy it, so you take a lot of satisfaction in shooting them.

In the few moments he was on screen, Conor McGregor was plenty intimidating.

I love the character designs! And all the designs for the soldiers and robots!

Personal point: I couldn't help but wonder what this game would be like as a Star Fox game. Think about it!

Now for my issues: The characters, namely Kotch and Reyes, are kind of clichéd. But you still like to watch them.

They should have covered the origins of the SDF with a playable prologue. Show the Succession War as opposed to telling me about it.

There are so few opportunities to use the wall running function that you wonder why they bothered to put it in in the first place.

I couldn't help but wonder to myself why it needed to be a COD game. It could be something completely separate.

Just a heads-up, and this might just be a matter of personal preference, but I played this game on both Xbox and computer and in my opinion it's best suited for computer. Especially when it comes to the dogfighting.
