    Call of Duty is now officially a sci-fi shooter. Yet, for all of it's space battles and laser guns there isn't much new here outside of some changes to the campaign. The majority of the package is simply Black Ops 3 meets Ghosts.

You even take    Call of Duty is now officially a sci-fi shooter. Yet, for all of it's space battles and laser guns there isn't much new here outside of some changes to the campaign. The majority of the package is simply Black Ops 3 meets Ghosts.

    The campaign is desperately trying to be Mass Effect. You get your own ship with captains quarters and flight deck where you select missions. You even take orders from a character very similar to Captain Anderson. Side-quests even make their return from Black Ops 2. Other changes include zero gravity space battles and an emphasis on air battles with your own customizable ship.

    Ultimately these changes don't make much of an impact of the player experience because the whole thing devolves into a Michael Bay style explosion-fest early on. The set-pieces the series is known for is literally just explosion after explosion. Even the ship battles fall prey to this. That's not to say that it doesn't have some memorable moments. A stealthy sniper side-mission in zero G really shows the beauty of space and a rescue mission that has you being swarmed with robots are the standout moments. The problem is that the rest of the campaign just isn't very good. The story doesn't fare well either.

    I just wasn't able to get invested in the characters or follow anything that was going on. It's all so uninteresting and the villains are flat. It's hard to view these guys as a real threat as you just steamroll them at every turn. Kit Harrington isn't very believable as the main baddie either. It's not that he gives a bad performance. Quite the opposite. It's just that he isn't really the villain type. Not only is he not menacing enough, but he barely shows up over the course of the story. A big shock considering the whole thing is over in just a few hours. Not even the handful of side-quests do much to extend the length.

    The multiplayer is just a mess. It's all but identical to Black Ops 3, they just mixed the crappiness of Ghosts in there with an extra layer of suck. It feels unbalanced and conflicts are usually one-sided. There are issues like spawn camping and it's just too darn chaotic to be any fun. It really is just a broken version of Black Ops 3's multiplayer.

    Zombies is the only good mode in this package. That's because Treyarch's core design of Zombies is just inherently good. Personally, I think Infinity Ward should have made a follow up to their Extinction mode from Ghosts. Not only was that mode just as good as Zombies, but it was their original idea for the COD series. It's quite obvious Infinity Ward is just playing it safe with this move.

    What I like about Infinity Ward's Zombies mode is that it isn't as hardcore of Treyarch's last few. It's not as complicated and has a cool 80's theme. There isn't as much to dive into and as a result it's a good return to the just plain silly fun of the modes inception. It's still great getting together with friends to find and complete everything. Getting set to an arcade after death to play mini-games in order to resurrect yourself is a nice new addition.

    Unfortunately for us and Infinity Ward, one good mode does not a satisfying game make. Considering the campaign and multiplayer hit some of the series lowest points, Infinite Warfare stands out as the worst COD yet. At least in the main series. The outright bad multiplayer is the worst offender, considering it's always been the series biggest strength.

Black ops 3 atleast had a unique approach to it and felt original for a cod game. This game however just takes that and combines it with inaccurate and pretty weak weapons, spotty hit detection, and unoriginality. If you buy this game for the multiplayer you are wasting your time it's not fun and definitely not worth a buy. Onto the campaign which is actually really good and opens up to where you can even do side missions. The story is good too with some likeable characters and enemy. The campaign i where the game truly innovates instead of rehash the same stuff we see over and over. Zombies is good as ever having a nice 80s vibe to it and very detailed zombie survival gameplay i can see atleast the campaign and zombies was handled with care but the multiplayer is just awful plain and simple. I recommend atleast a rental like i did it's definitely not worth full price but the story and zombies deserves to be experienced. MWR is a great addition but it's just not worth this disappointing baggage with it. The remaster is beautiful and almost qualifies as a remake. The mp in MWR is fun and harkena back to the good ol days where cod was on top now with the latest release it's on a huge decline and ends up being the most disappointing release since cod ghosts. 5/10… Expand

    In conclusion, this game is yet another copy+paste game with only a few features new to it, which makes the game become repetitive really quickly. I would definitely give this game a lower score if the price wasn't a RIDICULOUS $80.    … Expand

    I stopped playing the campaign about half in i think, i just couldn't stand it anymore.
    I enjoyed the MWR campaign, though that's not part of this review.

    Multiplayer: I really liked the movement system of BO3, but in IW it feels slow and heavy, SMG's are the only weapons with which you can move somewhat fluid.
    Some of the maps are really nice, like the destroyed Geneva, but most just look pretty much the same with different paths, which is one of the biggest problems.
    Throwback in particular looks different but is the ugliest of all, it looks not even close to realistic, the wood panels on the barns are more like a wallpaper.
    Several maps (esp. Frontier) are too chaotic, too many ways leading to every point, you can get shot in the back from multiple sides.

    I don't like Zombies in general, so i didn't play that mode.

    My conclusion:
    - Campaign makes no fun, too many cut scenes and bad jokes
    - MP feels clunky, most maps are ugly and too similar    … Expand

    Infinite Warfare is the antithesis of a worthwhile shooter. Infinity Ward was better off developing Ghosts 2.

Even with an extra year in the development cycle, COD games are at their lowest point. Advanced Warfare was the most innovative “future” COD game.Infinite Warfare is the antithesis of a worthwhile shooter. Infinity Ward was better off developing Ghosts 2. Ironically, Activision’s paranoia about criticism led it to make worse games than it would had Activision tuned out the haters. Even with an extra year in the development cycle, COD games are at their lowest point. Advanced Warfare was the most innovative “future” COD game. Unfortunately, the boring weapons, restrictive maps, and horrible lag held it back. Nothing changed with the next 2 games. The COD franchise is no longer about innovation, and it’s certainly no trendsetter. COD is now playing catch up, and it’s failing.

    Even run-of-the-mill Titanfall 2 is better despite its glaring flaws. Battlefield 1 is hands down the best shooter to buy this year. Period. Just get it. Gears of War 4 Ultimate Edition is also a fantastic buy because it contains 5 games and a season pass. Halo 5 is still active and receiving free updates/dlc. There’s no compelling reason to purchase IW with so many robust shooters on the market.

    So why do I hate it? First, IW is the glitchiest and most incomplete COD I’ve played. It freezes and crashes constantly. Downloading updates is a hassle. Matchmaking is atrocious. Lobbies rarely contain max player counts. Players are booted from matchmaking. Lobbies lag out. The countdown timer gets stuck on an infinite loop. IW is missing tons of features, such as the emblem editor, leaderboards, recent friends list, and network options.

    Next, matches aren’t fun. Highly skilled, prestiged players are regularly pitted against newcomers. As a result, most of the games I’ve played are completely lopsided. This leads to poor participation. Once matches go south, players drop out. On release night, I saw lobbies where the same 3 or 4 players had 40+ kills and no one else topped 10. It will only get worse. Players are less likely to leave matches if they aren’t getting their butts kicked all the time. As a result, teams often don’t have even player counts. I doubt there’s a big enough player base to offset these problems.

    Proper matchmaking is not a priority at Activision because it’s too cheap to provide fulltime dedicated servers. COD still relies on peer-to-peer connections. This is an inferior and obsolete way to host “competitive” shooters which is the very reason why other shooters dumped it.

    This leads into IW’s next game-breaking problem: LAG. The lag-or rather lag compensation- is the worst I’ve seen to date. Gameplay footage I’ve examined shows targets being hit with 5-8 rifle rounds at mid/long range but absorbing all that damage and landing instakills with smgs. I’ve seen players nailed in the back with shotguns who then spun around to kill their attackers. IW is truly a shoot first, die first experience for many players. As the population shrinks, lag will get worse. COD’s rotten lag compensation severely penalizes players based on connection, and it’s the worst in the industry. This problem is compounded by the insanely quick time-to-kill. Lag can be slightly offset by increased health. However, COD deceptively imposes the “everyone is a progamer” mentality, so quick TTK lets twitchy teens feel like they’re good at something.

    IW’s supply drops and “crafting” are other big issues. Players can either play for hundreds of hours or spend real money to unlock better weapons. Many will opt for the latter option. These advantages tilt matches unfairly towards people willing to “pay to win” because the stronger weapons are behind a paywall. Add this to the $60 admission price plus the DLC costs and IW becomes too damn expensive. Earning weapons is a crapshoot since drops are random. Players can build weapons with “salvage” but accumulating it takes a lot of time. The new unlock system is the grindiest of all COD’s and rivalled by only Destiny. No one I know has the time to “earn”, so if they don’t pay up, they’re behind the curve. Are the locked weapons that much better? The ones I have are noticeably stronger. This system is another knock against casual gamers.

    IW has scores of other problems. Like fewer weapons that all perform similarly. Several enclosed maps that prevent scorestreak usage or make them impossible to counter. UAV spam is annoying enough, but on several maps there’s no way to blast them out of the sky. IW heavily favors killstreaks because objectives earn drastically less points than previous COD’s. So objective players like myself get screwed. Ironically, the campaign is the best part of IW.

    Infinite Warfare is a glitchy, laggy, half-assed product buried under unnecessary paywalls. Activision has trivialized COD into irrelevance. Its primary markets are tweens who believe quickscoping is a skill or gamers unwilling to try anything else. With so many great titles available for next gen consoles, Activision ought to be worried. Those who rate IW highly have low standards. The rest of us will watch from the sidelines as the franchise self-destructs.    … Expand

    Oh boy where to start? I've got to say, this is by far the worst futuristic COD that is out on store shelves right now.

    Let me start off with the campaign, not that anyone really cares about it, but it has a campaign so hey ho. You are set some time in the future, and Earth is being attacked by, what seems to be a resistance on Mars. This resistance seemed to be keeping it's hands to    Oh boy where to start? I've got to say, this is by far the worst futuristic COD that is out on store shelves right now.

    Let me start off with the campaign, not that anyone really cares about it, but it has a campaign so hey ho. You are set some time in the future, and Earth is being attacked by, what seems to be a resistance on Mars. This resistance seemed to be keeping it's hands to itself, but certainly jumps off that boat when the enemies come to earth and mow innocent civilians down like free candy comes out of their heads. Overall the campaign is shockingly well done, but certainly doesn't do it on it's own merits. It takes pretty much the whole galaxy map from Mass effect, and the characterization, and the ships pretty much straight from Mass effect. I would also hesitate to say, that some parts from the campaign are ripped straight out of Mass effect, and put into COD. Which makes me slightly frustrated because I love Mass effect.

    Anyways, that's not all. Remember that spaceship dogfight in Halo reach? You know that one cool level? In a good game? Well COD IW continually seems to be generic and unoriginal, because the developers thought that we wanted to play that same level, over and over again. That's pretty much it when it comes to the space battles, just a rip off of Halo reach, and does the same thing over and over again.

    Now the multiplayer. I did say this wasn't the worst COD I've ever played, but it certainly has the worst multiplayer I have ever touched. There's really not much to say about it other than it is literally a clone of Black ops 3. I've never really said that about a game before, but honestly the resemblance is scary. The only thing that really toots my horn, is that imagine black ops 3, but with maybe 10 hp. That's the only thing that's new and it makes the game just more simplified and generic for the casual players. In black ops 3 at least, you could take a few hits, but still survive and you can bob and weave. It made the gunplay more interesting and unique because for the first time in COD for awhile, you could still stand a chance against an enemy. But take that away, then you're left with a boring online shooter to which you keep dying and dying over and over, and it's just whoever sees each other first will die first. Nothing new, nothing really taken away, but it's still worse somehow.

    Now zombies. Now I must admit that this is probably the best zombies mode I've ever played in a COD game. The story is all wank, and bollocks but it made sense. You're actors, teleported into a movie world of zombies, because the director wanted to make a zombie movie, and he wanted the real deal. It has humor, characters with actual personalities, even though it's stereotypical, but hey it works. But still they haven't fixed my overall problem with it. What's the bloody point? All you do is keep shooting zombies for hours and hours over and over, but there's no sense of progression, sure you might open a door to a new area, but for what? What is our main objective? Other than killing zombies, and opening up new areas. Even if there is, I never got to the end, because just like before you keep grinding until the zombies become almost impossible to kill.

    Overall, not the worst COD, but certainly not the best. I'd have to say it would go down in my history book as the second worst COD in front of ghosts. The campaign is very well done, but doesn't do anything new or original just steals things that worked in other games and put another name on it. The multiplayer is bollocks, with unlocks and customization options that are hilariously shallow and pointless, and just a copy of Black ops 3. Zombies is well done, but as the problem was before, there's no point to it. Overall can't recommend, get Battlefield 1 or Titanfall 2 instead.    … Expand

    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.

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...    … Expand

    This game gets a 1/10, at least for multiplayer. Here is why. After 3 hours of playing, the game constantly was freezing and had serious frame rate issues causing it to be very unplayable.

The "futuristic"This game gets a 1/10, at least for multiplayer. Here is why. After 3 hours of playing, the game constantly was freezing and had serious frame rate issues causing it to be very unplayable. The only reason you would ever pick this game up is if you buy the Legacy Edition to play COD4: Modern Warfare Remastered. COD has completely abandoned the traditional COD games. The "futuristic" movement abilities, specialists, and overall core experience of the game has ruined what made COD great. Simplicity, fun, and rewarded skill. IW doesn't fulfill any of this criteria.

    Players who suck get specialist perks that allow them to get easy kills with little to no effort. Movement abilities ruin the gameplay making it so you have to boost jump and wall run just to get across the maps, and for people who don't use an Elite or Scuf controller, this can be very difficult since you have to take your thumb off of the joystick to keep hitting A. So you keep getting killed when just trying to play the game how it was intended.

    Pros-
    -eSports have another game that blends in with the 10 other games with big prize pools.
    -If you have an Elite or Scuf controller this game might be fun.
    -If you liked BO3, Destiny, and Overwatch, or just have so much ADHD that you can't play a game like BF1 or another shooter that has longer times between gunfights, then Infinite Warfare is the game for you.
    -COD4: Modern Warfare Remastered for Legacy.

    Cons-
    -Specialists compress the skill gap by giving players easy kills. This is basically the equivalent to Death Streaks, something that was in MW2 and MW3, but now every person can get them. So people that are skilled will have so much of an advantage on everyone else that the game will push away lesser skilled players because they will always be dying.
    -Wall running and boost jumping is not effective and fairly difficult for players who don't have a Scuf or Elite.
    -Game freezing (may be linked to lag) makes the game unplayable for many.
    -Traditional COD has been pushed aside to again pushing away even more fans who still had some hope for boots on the ground.

    Conclusion: 1/10- Just go buy BF1 or buy IW for COD4: Modern Warfare Remastered. If there are other games you thought about buying this holiday season or early next year, then buy them instead. IW is a complete pass.    … Expand

    I have never been more frustrated by a Call of Duty game. I could not figure our why I was dying so fast, literally did not even have time to comprehend that I was being shot at. I am pretty sure the game dev made you die so fast to try and cover how **** there lag correction was in the game but it is still very noticeable when people are shooting at you out of the side of their guns.I have never been more frustrated by a Call of Duty game.

They actually hide ping and connection info on purpose so that you cannot leave the games. Not to mention that that you cant actually try and find matches that make sense to play in, with people who live nearby. THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT BUY IT. The maps are so complicated you just end up getting shot in the back by and endless stream of flankers. Most of the weapons are useless and the specialist are garbage.… Expand

    It's 2016 and we still don't have dedicated servers? Who ever gets to be lobby host will have a decent amount of fun, everyone else is given the middle finger. What makes it worse is it feels the devs KNOW they're releasing a terrible excuse for a money grab by making people buy it if they want a 10 year old game.

    This game feels like it has very poor level design for the multiplayer maps. There is no use of cover. Its so fast paced that I feel that you are spawning and dying almost instantly. The abilities are distracting and seem to take forever to unlock. When you do pull them off the reward just isn't that enjoyable. The weapons feel ridiculous.

When you do pull them off the reward just isn't that enjoyable. The weapons feel ridiculous. They at least sound good and the shotguns are fun to use. Other than that this feels like a mirrors edge knock off built for twitch game play for 14 year olds. That description may actually be what they were going for. When I want a war game I want a gritty war experience. Here you have neon painted pricks sliding everywhere insta blaping you do death seconds after spawning. Perhaps I am just terrible at this game but as much gaming as I do this one felt so unsatisfying.

    The absolute worst part is the level design for multiplayer. There is no range maps. It all feels like fighting shoebox close range space to another shoebox close range space. I don't even know why they have a sniper weapon set. They also put in quirky wall running curve walls which leave you vulnerable and feel wonky. Dont waste your money. I keep telling myself not to buy in to MW games. This is officially the last time I will purchase one of their games.    … Expand

    This game is my least favorite CoD. All of the maps are copy and pasted like terminal for example is from MW2. The campaign sucks and so does the multiplayer. It is basically pay to win to get all of the OP guns. And the guns are copy and pasted to. i will give you a bunch of them: S-Ravage, the SPAS shotgun, the MAC-TAV, the UMP which I think is named after Captain MacTavish from the MWThis game is my least favorite CoD.

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

    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.

    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.
