I mean, most CoD games of the last decade aren't set in WW2.

This was awesome and alot better than those multi-million dollar crap movies we have been getting for almost a decade so called made for a modern audience crap 🤢🤮

This game made its campaign work by the sheer, absolute certainty it commits to its themes with. It *will* make you care about the heroes, it *will* make you curse the (cartoonishly-evil) antagonists, it *will* make you weep for the sacrifices of the heroes, there will be NO pulling-punches or half-a*sing about it, and it will NOT stop even after it accomplishes its storytelling goals.

Infinite Warfare is so bad that I can't play again the third time. 1) Campaign storyline is dull and the main bad guy died too easily, nothing to remember apart from the good looking bad guy. 2) Gameplay is like Transformers game, the enemy droids, mech have indestructible shield that heavy weaponry can't even penetrate. The map area is too small for the mech, in reality, the few main characters would have been killed by the HE 20-30mm autocannon. Those high tech guns and heavy weapons can't even shoot through food stalls & coffee tables which is ridiculous. Refer Battlefield 2.5 & 3 on how good the destructible environment. Hiding behind car can't stop projectiles. Whatever shields the droids, mechs have, they can only extend damage hits but not invincible to armor piercing projectiles and missiles. Future Rail powered assault rifle would have more powerful penetration force & way faster speed than present day most powerful 12.7mm BMG round. 3) The guns are made futuristic able to fire in space but they look more like modified present day gun like Doom movie, give it pulse rifle style handguard means futuristic when firing mechanism is still present day bolt action & rotating bolt tend to overheat? It should be rail powered by right for non-energy gun. There shouldn't be shell ejection port and sniper rifle won't be bolt action anymore. Designer had poor knowledge in general military engineering. 4) the APC looks like 60's 70's era 6x6 & 8x8, still using flap window & no pressurized cabin when it needs to operate in other planets? Those wheels aren't suited for foreign planets terrain. There's mech and anti-gravity drive technology which means they could build hover tank already 5) carrier bridge made to stand as if they're manning present day aircraft carrier. By right, they would be strapped to seats wearing pressurised suits in case of G effects & space leak. Refer the enemy ship where main characters planted explosives on windows & the enemy bridge personnel ended being sucked out to space. Space ships won't get large single layer bulletproof windows but 2-3 layers at least & out of safety, the metal shield will be on at all times & the bridge crew would receive projected multi angle 3D VR exterior camera view. They'll have CIC in the hull that could control the ship if the bridge tower being destroyed especially for ships that size. 6) there's no exosuit for humans when there's exoskeleton droids? Why still use large full face glass helmet that prone to crack? They could have made eye size projected view helmet with thick glass in case VR failed for wearer to see.

​@@Prostreetsburnoutparadise Do you even play COD?

It was a combination of ultra-futuristic settings and being coupled to Modern Warfare Remastered. I remember someone said “I want CoD, not Star Wars.” Now people love it for the campaign more than the multiplayer.

Me too. As a space sci-fi fan I absolutely loved it. Probably fantasy losers hating on it 😂.

@@BrowncoatGofAZ funny thing is, this isn't Star Wars. It's like Halo without the aliens.

@@ArgentWolf95 or energy shields.

@@BrowncoatGofAZ yeah, I love this one, it could have given the Separatists a bit more flesh on why they hate earth, like how The Expanse Mars Republic differs from Earth.

Oh man, this is a really interesting theory Thanks for sharing it with us.

This is cod infinite warfare, different from halo

@@lenzugenerico8732 I know just bringing out the differences.

@@frostcodm7555 that people already knew

It's a terrible ear bleed by an USAmericannotblacklogics who keeps claiming to be "beyond"

Same here !

Me too!

I wouldnt want to force you to buy COD infinite Warfare but if u are up for story richs single player and fun zombies you should get this game (right now its May wait until steam summer sale if u want) personally to me COD infinite warfare has one of the best written campaign story line on par with most COD MW story line.

Its a good game im actually just restarted playing the campaign again a few days ago on veteran difficulty its a real pain in the ass!! Lol good game though for sure

When it came out the game took serious damage from online haters and a lot of folks missed out on a real gem of a game...One of the best Call Of Duties to date and it still holds up well.

So some real spacewarfare like dunno, legends like Freespace or Freespace 2 (note: NOT Descent: Freespace) had it. They had good story along with amazing spacefights. Of course those were space sims, but just to give you a heads up on something that used to be long before CoD.

Here’s a big update me they ripped off the entire opening story line to halo damn near if you read the trilogy

It was awesome yes, it was ALREADY awesome in another game lmao

@@Dingleberry454 I mean...as gamers, it's important to have loyalty to a brand or series or game developer in some cases, but unless the gaming experience is similar to the point of being dull, why are we so intent on calling out the game for being a ripoff? If we all live long enough, most things are a rip off of a previous author/idea/concept. It's not even a question of who did it better, but did this game do it well? Was it enjoyable and fun to you? Not at all? That's fine. But it wasn't bad, especially if someone had never played Halo before. People sing covers for original songs all the time and if some musician or artist gives the material justice, we still enjoy listening to the song even if it's not original.

@@Dingleberry454 One scientist invented a car, another scientist made a better version. We would be driving the better version no doubt. If both versions are similar in quality, we as consumers would be ecstatic by the fact that there is competition to make even better cars (games). I had never played Halo growing up even though it was something that was popular at the time. I would not have known about the original story. It's also likely that the amazing writers and designers for Halo acquired inspiration from some form of previous literature or work. Would the fans of those authors go this exact story was already done in a book? It's not comparing a book to a book-to-game adaption where it's reasonable to be critical of any deviations.

If I had never played Halo before or other games and this game/storyline is fresh to me as a younger gamer, it's still enjoyable at the end of the day. I feel like we gamers (casual and hardcore ones) tend to develop this generational gaming mentality. Like how generational skirmishes exist between "boomers" and "younger generations". Gatekeeping of original storylines, as abstract as it may sound, can end up depicting us like gamer-boomers. It's already done, you can't do it again and have to come up with new storylines every single time! :p

"Fair winds metal one"

"futuristic" Proceed to make guns goes no brrrrrrrrt. -The whole story summarised by laser sword suckers

Tbh ever since I tried playing black ops 4 I’ve hated cod multiplayer I usually just play zombies but campaigns are cool too

That's why you should test something by yourself instead of trusting idiotic people.

@@SirKolass money is tight so not always an option.

@@MordaxTenebre Gameplay videos exist as well

true sigma thanks

lol looking for this comment

because CoD kept getting away from their roots, too many futuristic games

@@prich0382 COD's roots are fucking WW2 games but both of the ones they made recently suck.

@@prich0382nah we are living in the future this isn’t 1939 boomer wake up

​@@prich0382honestly, should have been it's own standalone universe like Titanfall or halo, not associated with the bag of worms called COD

Lol

It was fleet week (military pride week),that’s why they were all at earth and the events of the game take place only a hundred years or so after our present. So no there’s not going to be a giant intergalactic navy to spread out and protect everything,(if the SDF didn’t attack and or split from earth we would’ve been well on track.

1. Mars was terraformed. 2. The temperature was actually 20 C (68 F) to 125 C (257 F).

Maybe you think Pearl Harbour is a plot hole.

@@redbloodcell4047 I don't think you can compare a time period where radar was new with a time period of galactic travel, common sense says that a good portion of the fleet should stay in orbit not mentioning how the SDF managed to approach without a single sip noticing

The campaign had its moments, but it also had some glaring plot holes. Like I understand the SDF initial plan was to use the Earth planetary defence guns to destroy its own fleet, then somehow trigger all the planetary defence guns to self destruct and leave Earth open to invasion. And it was a good plan. But after this plan was foiled in the first mission, how the heck were the SDF able to trigger them all to explode later? And why was Earth capital still swarming with SDF troops days after their invasion has been foiled? Did the Earth forces not think to check their most powerful defence weapons weren’t rigged to blow after the SDF tried to do exactly this the first time? It really creates the impression that the heroes are to dumb to live. Other then that, for a system wide interplanetary war the conflict always felt very small in scale, and with it being set in space most missions just felt like they were set in featureless metal corridors. By comparison in the Modern Warfare games it felt like a world war involving thousands of soldiers was actually being waged around you.

​@@timhare9867many factors, propagandas from Mars could be the case, sympathizers, undercover people that supports the cause of Martians rallying. It could be a lot of those also when you got flying ships and adavnced tech to help you why would you need millions of bodies to fight the war and only need only a tenth of that to do all of the operation

just look what's happening to this country today! I could see a rogue colony in the distant future retaliate against what it perceives as a dysfunctional society that's holding it back especially being the first colonizers of another world and if you understand that human element these actions would make more sense than durr i am evil. these kinds of scenarios have occurred throughout history multiple times so its not out of the realm of the possibility in a distant future technologically advanced earth that is space faring where these could be the way the dice roll. I just think the writers at the time didn't have good enough examples to convey the motives of the rogue colony in this call of duty game or just didn't do a good job of exploring why they where bad. this game was also developed before 2016 and hindsight really is 2020! I'm a history buff as much as a sci fi fanatic so when I see movies get these two things right it makes for a great movie that is believable this games cinematics and plots are pretty believable with a few things missing but for a non space opera like star wars it is more grounded in reality. lastly remembered when everyone trashed activision and call of duty developers for trying something out of their comfort zone and then they stopped pouring efforts into making story campaigns and people get what they ask for don't they because you could say most call of duty games storyline have been shallow dumpster fires!

@@shiBuyaking109 more like the COD games are just brainwashing that want you to beleive the good guys are always thw West and the bad guys are faceless enemies of 'FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY"

Call of duty was built as a us military propoganda machine, can't have enemies smarter than that without weakening the propaganda

​@@shiBuyaking109 nah main comment is right, I don't remember the whole game but see any 'bad guy' explaining why they are attacking here? Heck they don't even show their faces. If I have to assume motives then I'd say that's lazy writing.

@@shiBuyaking109 I mean, what examples are there of colonies going rogue than trying to invade their former homeland?

I'll never forget what someone said on an infinite warfare video, a battlefield style multiplayer set in this universe would be gold. Just imagine playing as a foot soldier and you look up and see a whole fleet fighting above you, calling in air strikes and a ship from your team launches a missile attack at the position you marked.

@@bautistahernandezfernandoa85 imagine this but mixed with Arma, not battlefield.

@@bautistahernandezfernandoa85 kinda like helldivers 2 but just with the pvp

​@@bautistahernandezfernandoa85would be great but seeing the whole shit launch of BF2042 my hopes would be abbysmal, even with the modern tech these days they seem to somehow make it not work or not well optimized at all, devoliving into a glitchy mess

You call this "sci-fi"?

​@@getsideways7257I mean, laser guns? Naval battleship but for space? Talking robots? Nothing's more sci-fi than that

@@BurntBalls For many it's not if you look up how it's commonly defined. Like you mentioned, naval battleship but in space. That makes it an action movie, not sci-fi. Just replacing something with something futuristic doesn't make it sci-fi. Like many would say Star Wars is Fantasy, not sci-fi. Light sabre is just a sword, Jedi's are knights (even called that), and the force is just another form of magic. The advanced tech is story setting, not sci-fi. Especially when a lot of the science is wrong/bad. Ships banking in a turn in space, like planes in air? Ships pulling into the space station front first with the engines still going (so accelerating), instead of coming in engines first to slow down. They've literally cut motion from air based motion and just stuck it in space, unlike something like The Expanse. Much of what's considered sci-fi is how science and tech have changed or get used in society, why much of sci-fi involves dystopian societies. A talking robot doesn't make sci-fi. A story on how we treat talking robots and/or how they change the way society is would be. Like Blade Runner, where you have syncs that have emotional issue that can be detected, false memories to help with that since they are just vat grown. Disposable people etc. There's actually concepts brought up with the science. Science 'what if'.

@@12tman12 bro really took my reply personally lmao

@@BurntBalls Eh? That was just giving out info and explaining it, that's one that pops up when talking movies and such. Why @getsideways made their comment. Not angry or anything lol.

I'd say it wouldve been amazing and not gotten backlash from existing CoD for sure if it is it's own IP. Activision dropped the ball on CoD stroy telling and just focused live servicing, no more good campaign stories with immersive experience. I'd say live service mindset of the triple A industry nowadays really dumb down the narratove storytelling of games we once knew. There's no linear story fps ganes that are enjoyable nowadays that's recently released. Hell one game like that from every 1-3 years would be good.

They didn't in this game. They literally fought a war before. The SDF broke the treaty with a surprise attack.

People in America would act surprised if China started attacking them. It's not that they don't do anything it's that they get stagnant in times of peace while the enemy is preparing to attack. This would be like asking the question why didn't Africa prepare itself and develop weapons before they were colonized as it didn't happen one day there were signs every step of the way.

Take the invasion of Crimea and Ukraine as an example - the West didn’t think Putin would invade. Imagine our surprise that he did in Crimea and despite sanctions nothing really happened. It was a test run and it succeeded. So he did it again with Ukraine - had Russia taken Kiv and ousted the government, it might’ve been a repeat scenario- however Ukraine put up a fight and we have a current psudo-world war III of west vs Russia The difference between this game and reality - is that the Mars invasion force had similar if not equal capabilities in military that it could put up a hard pressed fight; where as we have watched the incompetence of the Russian military break as it became clear they had started to believe the lies they (when they were the Soviet Union) told the West when puffing their chest and barking aloud.

@@asandax6 They didn't because they couldn't.

Even Star trek Picard did it.

@@bonedoc4556 That episode was the reason they made the video.

@@nadtz Lmao, Fitting.

thats what i was thinking and not even a second later it shoots a capital ship right next them that blows a chunk several times bigger then the drop ship lol

@@dymondsonny3990 if you look closely prior to the crash you can see that the dropship got clipped rather than a direct hit unlike the cruiser which obviously took a direct hit to one of the lightly armored engines.

Fr

@@twistedmastr I see, but still a Planetary defense gun has gotta pack a serious punch and even grazing a dropship as small as that should have at least tore the wing straight off or even just sent the ship spiraling at insane speeds lol

@@dymondsonny3990 I honestly thought it missed but the air displacement damaged the dropship.

Only The first two seasons of THE EXPANSE was good, after that the sequels just got worse and worse for me.

​@@SpaceDebrisstrue words. Its a shame thab they dont make more space combat

thanks🥰

Templin institute lol

It recieved a lot of online hate when it released so a lot of people never bothered with it...Not being one to listen to other folks griping I bought it day one and never regretted it.

Both me an my sister loved the campaign cause each mission had some creative twist to it. The hostage mission and boarding the outside of the set-def carrier were my personal favorites.

Loved that game the boomers hated it bunch of idiots 😂

That's not space combat, that's some weird fantasy crap similar to Star Wars.

​@@getsideways7257 Rule of Cool, heard of it? Yes it's not realistic, yes it's Sci-fi crap, but it's hella cool.

@@bautistahernandezfernandoa85 Nothing "cool" about fake "space"

Same pro I love this game🥰

Indeed, it seems that Infinite Warfare is taking a lot of inspiration from Halo.

Same here brother

If they're separate than they lose critical efficacy in striking threats.

I got that reference.

Lol😆

🤣🤣🤣

Yep. Pearl Harbor'd.

Militaries do this all the time irl, showing off their firepower. Ever seen a military parade? Also like, they had no way of knowing their defensive guns would fire on them suddenly. That was the issue

@@spacedout4061 Western Militaries no longer holds military parades for a long time. It could be due to this reason. Also, that massive breach on security with ground troops fully equipped would be unrealistic in that era. Those massive cruisers should be atleast taking precautions and would stay on a reasonable distance. Military hardwares and vics are always expected to be ready at all times. How are they just suddenly falling off like flies? Not to mention the already widespread intel of an impending attack?

@@silverpillars wdym widespread intel? Also, even if there was, again, militaries have done the same in the past. Archduke Franz Ferdinand had an attempt on his life during a parade, and only 2 of the 3 assassins were caught, he did another parade after the first attack to show strength, allowing the remaining assassin to kill him

@@spacedout4061 Where did you get your history from? He was targeted while in a motorcade on his way to a military barracks but there was no grand parade. The second assassination attempt was when his driver took a wrong turn while driving to the hospital to visit the soldiers injured in the first assassination attempt. No parade there either.

@@spacedout4061 Militaries have never concentrated the majority of their strength in a single location for a parade. When North Korea and China do these grand military parades they involve a few thousand troops, not the entire damn army. If Earth allocated a majority of the fleet to the ceremony but still left enough ships to protect SATO holdings in the system that would make more sense. The SDF attack would leave SATO incapable of launching an offensive action but they would still be able to field a sizable force to at least make the SDF not launch a direct attack on Earth again. This would force the SDF to strike at isolated outposts to draw out the remainder of the SATO fleet and force a decisive battle that would then leave Earth open to attack.

Well worth buying just for the single player..The offline local multiplayer is a lot of fun as well.

Same.

Problem is by the time that scenario becomes a reality you wont be eligible to crew a star ship if you are still your original birth gender lol

Current times not interesting enough for you?

@@robzee5733 nah too boring and too close to nuclear apocalypse

Because the whole campaing takes notes from the pacific campaign and more especifically USS Enterprise's part in that campaign, which also became the only battle ready carrier the USN had in the pacific at the later stages of the Guadalcanal campaign

This gives me halo vibes. It seems like a direct ripped off from the beginning of the halo game.

❤ still neat though

It pretty much is, even how the attack played out is reminiscent of pearl Harbor. A sudden attack by the enemy without any prior declaration of war which no one saw coming

@@JabbaraPates Which Halo game?
