The game now is pay-to-win and is filled with all these gimmicks to help make crappy players somewhat decent (including poorly balanced lag compensation). In other words, the game is designed to maximize revenues through micro-transactions aided by increased accessibility to the broadest audience possible (i.e., not scaring away casual gamers). I believe this is beginning to turn loyal fans against the franchise because they feel slighted. I can honestly say this will be the very last Infinity Ward COD that I will buy. It is inferior to Treyarch in almost every way (graphics, movement, map design, connection quality, sound design, etc.). Plus, IW is proof-positive that the improvements between annual releases aren't great enough to justify the ever-increasing price tag especially when you consider unique gun variants only available through supply drops. Usually, I can justify the cost of a COD game based on the fun factor. However, I'm just not having fun with IW.… Expand

    From what I played in the IW campaign, I think it has the best graphics a single player mode has ever had in COD. the story though is generic and it's still a rail shooter. Follow dot to an area, kill everything that appears, go to next dot.

Follow dot to an area, kill everything that appears, go to next dot.

    Multiplayer is incredibly fun when it's not lagging. seems like the lag has gotten really bad since Ghost. hearing they got rid of the dedicated servers that AW and BO3 had is disappointing. there's nothing special about the weapons. all the maps are small enough where there's no reason to use an AR. this is very much an SMG game.

    as for MW:R- yes, it's identical to the old game ... camping like crazy, OP unbalanced weapons, grenade spam, the noob tube unlocked at LVL 1, easiest quickscoping in the series, no customization, and dusty green-brown maps that are all undiscernable from each other. if you REALLY want to go back to that ... it's all there ... they stayed so true to the original that all the map and weapon glitches are still there ... the graphics are slighty better and they added Kill Confirmed.

    I've never understood why COD4 gets the praise it does. I think it's just because it's the "thing" to do in the COD community. the next 5 games in the franchise are all thousands of times better. an old broken game that goes back 2 entire generations of consoles in it's limitedness. most of the people praising it in the reviews of this game are too young to have played it when it was new.

    in 2006, Modern Warfare was an amazing, beautiful game that had unique gameplay and made fps'ers the most popular genre in gaming. that was 10 years ago :) ... the nostalgia of a "boots on the ground" game is fun for awhile, but it's beyond me why someone wouldn't want to play a newer game with so much more to do that's on the same disc.

    Lastly- those saying multiplayer is "pay to win" are complete liars and probably BF fanboys haters. you can get enough points for a supply drop in like 3 games. there's fewer weapon variants than AW, and all of them can be earned for free if you grind the game enough. Also the disc contains both games, you don't need to enter a code in at the store to get MW:R. so if you do decide to sell your game in the future, MW:R will be totally available and functional.    … Expand

    The campaign mode is awasome and brilliant.

    The multiplayer is a super super bad copy of Black Ops 3. And the multiplayer art make me sad.

    I will continue playing Black Ops 3.

    Like others here, I am absolutely disgusted by this game. What makes it worse is that if done correctly, it could have been great fun. But two things let it down badly, and are completely unacceptable.

When you watch the killcam it tells a different story    Like others here, I am absolutely disgusted by this game. What makes it worse is that if done correctly, it could have been great fun. But two things let it down badly, and are completely unacceptable.

    Firstly - lag. You know the story, you see the enemy first, shoot them, your shots don't register and suddenly you're dead. When you watch the killcam it tells a different story entirely - they see you and shoot you while you run past them obliviously.

    This could be fixed by having regional server selection. On Titanfall I am able to get 20ms ping, and never feel cheated. Whereas in COD all we get is a bar indicator. Further research shows that for a 5 bar rating all you need is less than 120ms. 120ms!! What are they thinking?

    I've been killed so many times when I'm behind cover, or when I've shot first. Some games there's almost nothing I can do as the enemy don't seem to take any damage. It's just awful and makes me want to stop playing.

    The second deal breaker is pay to win. All of the good guns cost about 7000 salvage to get to. You can get lucky and unlock them in a supply drop, however I'm prestige 4 and have only had one epic gun this way. It's down to luck, and to make it worse, you get duplicates. So even once you've unlocked a gun you might get it another 10 times.

    When you get a duplicate it turns into salvage, so you can put it towards the gun you want. The problem with this - an epic gun costs 6700 salvage, as you have to buy the lower tier guns to get access to it. And salvage takes so long to earn that it literally takes weeks to get one epic gun. I'd have to give up my day job to play COD full time for years to unlock all the weapons.

    And to make it even worse, they've just added in a new category of guns, mk2 variants. They're exactly the same as the other guns but give you 15% more xp. Big whoop. The problem is that you can't unlock these with salvage, it's all down to luck.

    However, if you're an idiot, you can spend money on COD points. Some people spend 100s of pounds/dollars etc on these packs, and they are the people responsible for this crap. If nobody bought these packs we wouldn't be in this situation. And it's only going to get worse. These things creep in, and once here, they're here to stay.

    The game is pure trash, which is a shame as when it plays well it's great fun. But that's rare, and due to these two game breaking issues, I am forced to give it a zero rating. Avoid like the plague, don't support this crap.    … Expand

    None other shooter game have told a story so touching and with such depth in the past few years. I think developers at IW really wanted to say something with it. War cost more than anyone's life could offer, it doesn't matter whether you fight for good or evil. I think that's what the title Infinite Warfare actual means, the price of war could be infinite, every one is expendable.
    I see it as an antiwar game, even though it actually portrayed a war.
    Many people has prejudged it only because it's set in the future, but I think this doesn't matter, it's still about human nature, about how people see things and the world, about how people live and fight. And I think it actually did even better than the MW series on this. MW build many legendary characters, but not really how they are as a person, which is exactly what Infinite Warfare has done.

    As a whole package, all the praise should be going toward the single player experience, and I'd never thought I'd say that about a Call of Duty game in a long time. But in all honestly, it’s true. As for the multiplayer, it makes for an incredibly mundane and subpar experience that almost parodies itself. Completely making it very difficult to recommend the game as a whole.

    Good old Infinity Ward is back and not just with Modern Warfare Remastered! The single player campaign (the best in years!) alone is enough to give Infinite Warfare a chance. Just like with Doom and Titanfall 2 I expected nothing from the game and was shocked with how good it turned out to be. [13/2016, p.34]
