    yes i do like this game and yes it has its flaws but what game doesn't. not every game is a home-run and be careful what you wish for you might get it (boots on the ground) and you red dots will complain about that.
    just enjoy the game.

    Call of Duty Infinite Warfare
    A generic version of itself and everything else…
    The start of Infinite Warfare had me impressed... it had me glued to the screen... It was completely gorgeous, and then I run into freakin Jon Snow, and Im punched out by Connor Mcgreggor And I thought, wow.. It doesn’t get better than this...

    The start of Infinite Warfare had me impressed... it had me glued to the screen...
    It was completely gorgeous, and then I run into freakin Jon Snow, and Im punched out by Connor Mcgreggor
    And I thought, wow.. It doesn’t get better than this...
    And I was Right…
    Because the rest of the campaign is awful…
    I haven’t been around a call of duty game since ghosts… So maybe Advanced Warfare and Blackops 3 were worse... but as far as Im concerned... this is hands down the most boring first person shooter campaign ive played through ever as it completely lacks any variety…And the sad thing is that it doesn’t start that way... It creeps there…
    As stated again, the beginning is great, and this game is gorgeous… You also take part in ship combat just as much as on foot… And this campaign is a record breaking 7 hours long…
    But its padded out with the same boring side quests where you’re either going on foot into the same enemy ship over and over or getting into space battles that after you’ve experienced the first 3 are just no fun at all…
    At first it’s thrilling and you can feel the smirks activision is giving at no man’s sky as you’re locking onto enemies and taking them out… and then you do it again.. And again…. And again…
    The only redeeming quality of these side missions which really take up about 3 of the 7 hours is that they all feature collectibles in the form of actual characters... there are these wanted collectibles that attach a name and a face to random soldiers throughout different missions…
    This is probably the coolest way to do collectibles and Id love to see it return in future games..
    This campaign isn’t all bad...
    The beginning moments of the campaign also smacked me with so many epic moments... the story missions had character… But as soon as I became captain the game went downhill…
    But who buys call of duty for single player besides me and like 3 other people…
    I’m just saying once you get bored, and believe me.. You will...
    Don’t drag yourself forward in hopes it gets better... because it doesn’t…
    The gameplay... the shooting… the wall running…
    All of it here feels bad... which is surprising...
    Call of Duty’s running and guns have been the standard I judge other first person shooters with…
    And they don’t even live up to their own standards here... variety is lacking, the robot enemies you fight throughout the campaign are bullet sponges which takes away the slicing through cheese satisfaction I expect from a call of duty campaign, and the jetpack and wall running ripped from titanfall feels garbage… They better rehire those guys to fix it for them and then fire them again after they have their secrets…. There’s no stickiness that makes it feel great in that game… it feels awkward every time you do it…
    So you played single player for the 10/10 first 2 hour experience.. Rightfully got bored, let’s hop into some multiplayer…
    You can either play zombies which this time is set in a 80s theme park, complete with the lingo and 80s music playing in the background…
    And of course competitive multiplayer…
    And thankfully the multiplayer redeems as these maps are all greatly designed…
    and fun to play in... At least in standard modes...
    I’m not really sure what call of duty is going for with its spawn trapper mode front line
    and I’m not a fan of the added gimmicks either...
    If snipers weren’t annoying enough, now we have sliders and jumpers..
    The jetpacks and sliding I feel add more variables of luck and cheap tactics that you don’t deal with in simple run and gun style…
    The wall running can stay as it keeps the gameplay even more fast paced than usual…
    But my targets getting away from me by sliding or flying around is more of a nuisance than a cool added element to strategy…
    If it’s not broke don’t fix it..
    There’s a reason were craving competitive shooters set in the past rather than the future…
    In the case of this genre... the simpler the better…
    Overall Infinite Warfare is a let down…
    New maps are all it has going for it…
    I give Call of Duty Infinite Warfare

    MULTIPLAYER:
    - Copy+Paste of Black Ops 3
    - Servers are horrible

    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

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

    BF is better than this **** perfomance issues to the max. It didn't feel like having enough new stuff to justify a full steam price of 60 euro. I will probably finish the SP and go back to Battlefield. Cause the multiplayer just seems broken for me.

    I must admit, I did dislike the trailer on YouTube and every other video that was related to it, but I gave the game a chance nonetheless. There's a lot of stigma behind this game because of its progression to space and how there is an overabundance of space-futuristic shooters. During the Sony E3 2016 press conference, they demoed this game without showing the title at the beginning. I don't know why at first I thought it was Star Citizen but the demo blew me away. And then it really surprised me when it said Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare at the end of the demo. It did get me hooked and I was intrigued.

    So when I indeed played the campaign, it really did surprise me with how different it plays out. The Star map and build up to each mission reminds me of Mass Effect and how you have to choose missions and you can talk to NPCs. Although the campaign is short, it still is a well rounded great experience.

    Multiplayer is **** though.    … Expand

    A whole lot of "bleh" is what Infinite Warfare is for me. I hated the launch trailer and couldn't be more underwhelmed by the final product. Ghosts was bad, and so is this.

There's a crap narrative to follow and a handicapped multiplayer compared to last year's Black Ops 3, which was not perfect but at least had some measure of creativity in its gameplay and campaign. Call of Duty has become more about refining the ideas that have already been cast in years past and nothing about forging ahead with new ideas that would freshen up the series. When you've got Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 to play this year, why would anyone waste their money on another Call of Duty game that has done what each of its previous ones have done: rip off each other. The last great CoD games were Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2. Since then, this series has done the absolute least to push itself forward. If apathetic attention to detail and a horribly-mediocre effort to be either creative or militaristic-ly precise are what drives you to games, then Infinite Warfare is your jam. But let's be honest, few people actually want to play these games anymore and Activision is steering its ship right into every iceberg at sea. It's only a matter of time before the entire ship sinks, and it will absolutely sink.… Expand

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!

    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.
