    A mechanically sound shooter that's hampered by a lack of scale and inventiveness. [Jan 2017, p.88]

    Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is a mess. There is fun to be had but there it really feels like Infinity Ward really had no idea what direction they wanted to take the series in. Space battles are fun, the campaign missions are fun and the new Zombies mode is a blast, but everything else is just so mediocre that it really brings down the experience.

    With an enjoyable campaign and zombies mode, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is still a worthwhile purchase, although your mileage may vary when it comes to the game's competitive multiplayer. The campaign in particular is well-acted with moments of levity and gravity. However, while these are still good games to play, the now ordinary gameplay may feel a bit stale, particularly for those who have kept up with the series' annual releases for the past decade. After a particularly good year for the first person shooter, Call Of Duty is not a particular stand-out, a far cry from the series must-buy status at its height.

    Though I wasn’t sold on the futuristic setting for the campaign, it still showed promise for the future of the franchise when it comes to storytelling and character development. And while its multiplayer feels far safer than the disappointing experience to be had in Ghosts, Zombies in Spaceland is one of the most enjoyable incarnations of the mode since its inception both when you’re playing with friends and alone. It’s not the quantum leap fans may have hoped for, but it’s a solid starting point for future expeditions.

    The campaign is really good, the competitive multiplayer is pretty boring, and the Zombies in Spaceland mode is lighthearted fun. As a whole, the package is a little disappointing, especially if you put a lot of weight onto the MP side of COD. But if you're down for another solid, entertaining shooter campaign, then I think Infinite Warfare is definitely worth a look.

    If the zombie mode in your game is the part that feels best, you know you have some patching to do. It just feels very unbalanced and rushed here at release.

    Infinite Warfare could have been much more than a passable single-player movie attached to a super fast, super confident multiplayer infrastructure. As such, and with those moments of tantalising potential in mind, it feels like a wasted opportunity.

    As a computer science professional, I can tell you with confidence that the majority of this game is copy and pasted from Black Ops 3. TheAs a computer science professional, I can tell you with confidence that the majority of this game is copy and pasted from Black Ops 3. The rigs or should I say (Destiny super rip offs) have once again made their way into COD. Super abilities belong in Destiny, not COD; they RUIN the consistency of game play. We don't need or want both supers and kill streaks in COD. Wall running doesn't belong in COD either, maps are too small for that. I think Advanced Warfare was a good formula for a future setting COD, the boost jump and strafing movement were creative and brought something new to COD, but now these COD's are just over the top. Time to bring boots back on the ground, hopefully Vietnam or Korea war setting next. COD needs to return to the great formulas of its past if it wants to will old fans over again.

    Graphics aren't nothing to right home about, not very photo-realistic and COD4 looked much more realistic. Infinite Warfare maps look like something straight out of a child care day center. However, If you enjoyed Black Ops 3, I think you will enjoy this game a lot!

    Now back to my real man's game, Battlefield 1...    … Full Review »

    The Singleplayer Campaign is probably the best in the series since Modern Warfare and I actually enjoyed the story as the cast is amazing, and the space battles are done very well. Multiplayer is standard honestly and not much has changed since black ops 3 which it's crap honestly since there was amazing ideas in the campaign they just discarded for the specialist style of gameplay, there's no changes to the UI (HUD) too.
    Zombies looks amazing and unfortunately I haven't played it much though but will spend a lot of time into it.

    Everyone should jump off the hate bandwagon and try it out before hating on it its sad how the main level based achievements were classified as rare ones since they are usually common ones and it does not deserve the hate its been getting    … Full Review »
