    Having played COD for many years I have a lot to base this on. The story is good, not perfect but it's quickly engaging and makes you want to play. Is this worth buying - absolutely!
    Don't listen to the zero score's from the Battlefield fans - they are just out to hate anything that isn't BF.
    If you like COD and shooters, Infinite Warfare is good fun.

    The last 2 CODs that I tried this gen were Ghosts and Black Ops 3 and I didn't finish either campaign. My faith in CoD was gone and I didn't have high hopes for this. I only bought this cos the Legacy Edition was $25 on Amazon, and coupled with a $10 discount coupon on Prime Day and using my Chase rewards point, I basically got this for free.

My faith in CoD was gone and I didn't have high hopes for this. I only bought this cos the Legacy Edition was $25 on Amazon, and coupled with a $10 discount coupon on Prime Day and using my Chase rewards point, I basically got this for free. I really wanted to just play Modern Warfare but found out I gotta install Infinite Warfare to play MWR.

    So I came into this game with ZERO expectations and oh boy was I taken on a wild, emotional ride! This is by far THE BEST CoD campaign since Modern Warfare. It introduced a lot new things in CoD that I appreciated. Space battles, simplified but fun. Being able to explore my base and having an office to view lore, audio and video logs and mission reports. Just being able to take a breather in between missions, to have in-game downtime, that was really amazing.

    The writing and voice acting are superb! I connected with all the characters, especially after reading their personal bios. The cutscenes are the best I've seen in a CoD game, Naughty Dog levels of quality. The story as a whole gave me Battlestar Galactica/Band of Brothers/Mass Effect vibes and I was truly engaged from start to finish. Nick Reyes and Nora Salter had great chemistry and I really enjoyed playing Nick's role and feeling the burden of command.

    The gunplay was solid and I actually got to know each gun and felt the difference between them. Most CoDs, I just get overwhelmed by the number and names of the guns but for some reason, Infinite Warfare made the guns more intimate to me. Truly, I felt like a soldier.

    Overall, I had a blast playing the campaign. First class stuff. Just the right length, very tight experience. If I had known the quality of this game, I would not mind paying full price for it because not only did it have a superb campaign, I actually enjoyed the Zombies mode too!

    Zombies mode's retro, campy feel coupled with a cool soundtrack made the experience a fun one. I only played Zombies solo but I find the challenge of survival and exploring the world for secrets while managing the zombie hordes so fun! Will definitely get the Season Pass when it goes on sale just to try the other Zombies maps (additional 4 DLC maps). I pIayed Zombies BLOPS3 when it was a freebie in June 2018 but I couldn't get into it. And BLOPS3 had the worst campaign (poor protagonist, bad voice actors, low quality cutscenes, confusing storyline, a tutorial that dragged too long) , I didn't finish it and gave me a bad taste so I uninstalled it.

    I didn't have a chance to fully experience the multiplayer cos my PS+ sub just expired. Will only renew it if I can snag a 1-yr sub for $39.90 just like the previous 2 years. I don't really have high hopes however as I don't like CoD's fast time to kill (TTK) and frantic pace, and having to constantly look at the radar for enemies. I prefer Destiny's multiplayer PvP, but I might be surprised by IW. We'll see.

    In summary, CoD Infinite Warfare and Infinity Ward have reignited my love for COD. Will definitely look forward to their next project. Hopefully, they will build on the ideas here and make their next campaign more revolutionary, like CoD 1&2.

    Try it with an open mind, and judge it honestly for yourself. Semper fi.    … Expand

    I'm not a huge cod fan but these reviews on here are a joke. 5 yr olds that play bf1 and switched to battlefield series need to justify their purchase so they hate on cod. It's not like they could buy both and enjoy both lol /s.

    As far as this game goes it's not revolutionary, but it is FUN. Which is more than I can say for what has become of the battlefield series.

    I'm a BF fan and disliked the last 3 COD's. This COD is AWESOME. Takes eliments of modern warfare and world at war and creates a war for the solar system. Great campaign but usual multiplayer. Ignore the low scores and buy it. In fact buy this, Titanfall 2 and BF1. It's been a good quarter for shoot em ups

    I'm very apt to criticize Activision and their CoD-annual-gimme-100+ clams a year for the full game gig. It's atrocious and need to leave the industry. And, i think it's easy to argue that Titanfall 2 is the best twitch-shooter of the past 5-10 years. Not least because all of it's DLC is included in the base price!

Not least because all of it's DLC is included in the base price!
    That said, I recently picked up a used version of Infinite Warfare for PS4, largely because I wanted a fun couch co-op/competitive shooter that might rekindle memories of the last CoD game I played - MW3 more than several years ago. I have been very impressed. The single player is very much CoD in space with a nice dash of BSG in the story. It's corny but frenetic and fun.

    The multiplayer I've played so far is tight and fun. Not terribly different from the experience from MW3; probably faster, quicker spawn to death, and a decent attempt by a dev team trying to capture the wall-running sci fi magic that Respawn perfected in Titanfall 2. The modes are diverse, the guns typically balanced, and the perks/superpowers fun and not too OP or game skewing. But it is fun.

    I wish the 1v1 maps/mode from that latter MW3 update was here, but the bots are surprisingly good for bots. They cut moves (spot proning for example) that are good practice for someone trying to practice maps and play around with weapons etc..

    Zombies is a great experience too, and very fun for cough co-op. Seriously, with all the zombie DLC that has been released, this mode is easily a fully fleshed out stand-alone.

    The fact that 4/5s of Zombies and over half of the MP maps are locked behind a $50 season pass, is absolutely inexcusable though. I bought infinite for 20 bucks and I want to buy the DLC but at this point, just even a few months before the sequel sequel releases, $50 for the full content is a blatantly cynical and abusive posture by Activision. Surprise, surprise.

    To be fair, the content in the base game looks expensive, high production values and quality. The DLC does seem like a lot of content. It is still too expensive, and the money grubbing practice it over all insulting.

    Overall, I am really enjoying this game in all three of its main pillars (Campaign, MP, and Zombies). This is a great game solo and even better local or online with other people. If you like shooters, and can find this one on discount, it is absolutely worth checking out. Full price for the base game, season pass (not to mention MW remastered), probably not.

    Activation deserves an infinite amount of criticism for their avaricious approach to marketing games but this game is certainly good and it's ultimately hard to criticize a company for squeezing a player base with abandon, when they continue to make bank in the process. Capitalism baby for better or worse.    … Expand

    First of all, the campaign is amazing! The quality of the voice acting, sound design, and cinematography make for a truly pleasant experience. And the story is good as well. They put a lot of well spent effort into this part of the game.

    Secondly, the multiplayer is great once you get used to the maps and the maps are good except for a couple. My only complaints are that the shotguns are absolute **** and the options for secondary weapons are kind of meh. Except for the Oni thats amazing.

    It really is a lot of fun and the rigs make for a lot of unique gameplay that honestly feels new. There is one ability where you can literally phase into another dimension and avoid damage. Like thats cool.

The setting and gear come together as more serious, way less childish than BO3. Movement is a may be a bit clunkier (like you can feel the weight of the armor) but I actually like that because it makes the game seem more down to earth. One of the best optimizations is that the game will load multiplayer maps while you are waiting in the lobby, so the loading times are super short. It also seems better optimized than BO3 - my PS4 remains surprisingly quite at all times, whereas sometimes while playing BO3 my console's fans would go absolutely berserk and I was expecting it to take off into space. I purchased the bundle with MW Remastered and I absolutely love it! It's just so nice to play an old COD on current consoles and engage in nostalgia. It's quite striking how different these two games play, even though they may look similar. I can't really say whether I prefer the old COD or the new one. I just like them both and each can be better than the other, depends on how you look at it. It's just sad that if people simply don't like shooters or COD that they rate this game low. If you don't like it that does not necessarily mean it's a bad game. For example, I can't stand RPGs that take hundreds of hours to complete and have an insanely massive story, but you don't see me grabbing Witcher 3 and then giving it 1 just because I don't like the type of the game.… Expand

    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]
