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...

    Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is the first intergalactic entry in the series. Developed by the "new" Infinity Ward team, it is a slight improvement over their previous COD game, "Ghosts".

Developed by the "new" Infinity Ward team, it is a slight improvement over their previous COD game, "Ghosts". However, this is a step down from Treyarch's "Black Ops" trilogy and is somehow less impressive than Sledgehammer's "Advanced Warfare". Featuring a campaign that allows players to branch away from the story, "Infinite" is ambitious. But the familiar gameplay keeps the installment from reaching greatness despite its new setting and options.

    While the single player mode features optional side-missions and air combat, it lacks major innovation. The story is good and the CGI cutscenes that propel it are great. But at this point, the game feels like just another "Call of Duty". Unfortunately, the multiplayer aspect doesn't fare any better. Actually, it's worse since Infinity Ward seems to have put most of its efforts into the campaign. The competitive portion is like a scaled back version of Black Ops III's. It feels like a "cut and paste" job since it takes the "Specialists" from that game and renames them "Rigs". The online modes are basically a repeat of its predecessor with less impressive maps.

    Thankfully, "Zombies in Spaceland" proves to be a lot more fun. Featuring an 80's Saturday morning cartoon theme, it is a more accessible take on Treyarch's formula. Set in a carnival, it is packed with features such as leveling up, crafting and traps. Overall, "Infinite Warfare" is an enjoyable installment, but it's also one of the weaker COD games. The genre has evolved ("Titanfall 2" and "Overwatch" are examples), so the series needs to take heed and re-create itself. I'd rate this with a 7.5 out of 10.

    Is the game a piece of s---, no, it's not. Could it be improved, yes, it can.

    The campaign is an improvement with it's small HUB where you can choose to do some side missions if you want to get some better gear or upgrades to your fighter jet. The best part of the campaign are the Jet fights. These missions are fast, chaotic and a blast to feel like your a badass. However, the campaign

However, the campaign suffers from a weak narrative, generic characters and possibly the worst villain in Cod history. 6-7 hours in length, BTW.

    The multiplayer though, gets praise from me for including splitscreen and the balanced pick 10 system from BL 2 and AW.

    Zombies is also fun as well.

    Campaign: I loved the campaign of Advanced Warfare, but hated that of BO3 and this one for the same reason... cut scene after cut scene, way too many.
    It has really nice elements like the dog fights, but lacks at almost everything else.

    Sometimes one has to die and try several paths over a place just to find out, where one is ought to go.
    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

The MP movement is a completely copy and paste from BO3 but not as fluid, makes me wonder if this game really took 3 years to develop. Supply drops make a comeback with exclusive variants that are of course stronger than the base weapons, I can see this really messing with the balance in MP just like COD:AW. Overall I'm disappointed...I'm almost certain more money went into the live trailer than this game! Expand

    Although the multiplayer of this game is absolute **** the campaign reminds those who enjoyed Modern Warfare how great infinity ward is at crafting single player campaign

    Although the multiplayer of this game is absolute **** the campaign reminds those who enjoyed Modern Warfare how great infinity ward is at crafting single player campaign

    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.

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

    What can I say, another year another disappointing, all too familiar Call of Duty release.

    I'll begin with the positives as there are a few I'd like to go over for this years Call of Duty release. First up is the campaign, it's quite an improvement over the typical CoD campaign, while it does lack variety it makes up for that in making your actions feel like they have some weight to them for a change. Taking out enemy ships and choosing which target to strike next is fun and rewarding.

    the story line is very typical of these games, nothing special with its big bad villain and oorah marines of old but it serves its purpose.

    The ship you control during the dogfight is painfully simple but still manages to be a lot of fun, rarely did the game ever feel dull during the moments when I was allowed to fly a ship and take on the enemy. This is probably the biggest surprise of the entire game, it's a genuinely nice addition to the tired CoD franchise at this point.

    Zombies mode is the most fun it has been in a long time, I always felt that it was getting too complex and convoluted following the story of the 4 characters the mode became heavily focused around. This years version somewhat simplifies it but keeps it fun. It feels as though it isn't as difficult to make it to the higher rounds now but still has a fair challenge to it. The hit detection has largely been improved too which is always a plus.

    The multiplayer is pretty poor, while the gameplay feels fast and smooth it just feels as though there is too much going on once people start earning their kill streaks. On top of that the spawn system is awful, it was not uncommon for me to spawn in front of an enemy soldier or around the corner from the enemy team, this could be fixed but I highly doubt it will be. The maps feel mostly uninspired with the typical corners and corridors design being used once again that we've seen in pretty much every Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare.

    Overall this game just doesn't do enough to justify yet another yearly release, Activision need to take a break and revitalize this franchise or it will continue to see its sales drop off from the previous years installments. The height of Call of Duty's success is over, it's no longer selling on name alone and it's time to earn gamers desire for this series back once again.

    The future-space warfare theme is tired which becomes especially apparent when compared to the remastered Modern Warfare. Infinite Warfare is missing some of the grit and the tension of previous COD generations. Sprinting around with a bunch of mechs in a completely unrelateable experience. Walking around the "Downpour" map in MW on the other hand is a whole other level of gameplay. I hope that Activision is tracking stats of MW closely so that they see what a significant portion of the player population prefers boots on the ground over floating robots.

    IW is extremely polished and I find it highly playable. The maps don't flow that well and they are mostly forgettable. Some maps have choke points that end up representing 80% of all gameplay on that map, and in my mind that is poor design.

    For what it's worth, I am spending my time in Modern Warfare in hopes that next year's release will give us what we finally want.

    Many of the people disliking this game "reviewed" it before it even came out. This is the best single player campaign since Modern Warfare, and the multiplayer is typical Infinity Ward: polished, fluid, at times frustrating (lots of really great players out there), and fun - albeit somewhat familiar. The addition of some Zombie-related activity is a boon for fans of Treyarch-developed CoDs.

    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
    a 7/10

    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.
