    Ahead in what ways? I genuinely just don’t remember what the game did. I agree it got review bombed purely because people didn’t want futuristic shit at that time. Nothing to do with the quality of the game.

    Infinite Warfare looks suspiciously resembled with Bungie’s Destiny concept art terrain.

    Vicarious Vision and High moon Studio was their good friend.

    Counterpoint: they just named it wrong, they needed to have a name that people would know this is not run of the mill cod gameplay, maybe it shouldn’t have had the cod name, idk, but if players expectations of the game were different it woulda been better received.

    As a fan of everything space-related I loved it, especially the zero-g combat. I think the game received so much hate because it was so different from other COD games and went too much sci-fi way. It would be interesting to see how would the game get received by players if it was released as standalone game, not related to COD franchise at all.

    It’s a shame that they ended it on a sequel hook that probably won’t ever arrive, if they’d waited a few years with stuff like The Expanse I bet there’d be more interest for it.

    Honestly IW was great and no one gave it a chance. The campaign was one of CoD’s best and the multiplayer, while not perfectly balanced by any stretch, did a good job. The maps were solid, the mechanics and time to kill felt pretty good, the net code was rock solid.

    It had its faults, as all CoD games do of course, but it was far from the dumpster fire people acted like it was. I think the community was just sick of futuristic CoD at that point so they wrote it off from day 1 instead of trying it.

    Honestly was one of the cods i played the most from the infection mode, normal pvp, and zombies. I will say tho the infection mode was SO MUCH FUN before they patched all the glitches and even then it was still fun running away.

    I don’t play them anymore after playing battle field cause it’s combat and bigger maps is more of my thing but also because they pump out a new COD like every year which is such a turn off.

    edit: Wait maybe i’m thinking of advanced warfare lol they both blend together to me.

    Well, main problem was actually, that the Multiplayer was way too different to the Single Player and so was too similar to other Call of Duty games. I mean, the Jetpack thing was there the third time in the row. They should actually have much more elements from the Single Player campaign in Multiplayer to have a more unique Call of Duty multiplayer experience.

    Single Player was a interesting Sci-Fi shooter, but well, it also had some weaknesses in the writing. The antagonist was not very present in the course of the game and the last mission was actually full of laughable deaths unfortunately. So the ending missed most of the impact to me it should have.

    I loved the campaign (I’m one of those freaks that plays COD for the singleplayer), probably one of the best. MW 1 only wins out due to nostalgia, since IW had muuuch better characters IMO.

    One of the best parts are the guns IMO. I love the near future sci-fi aesthetic, the guns are just upgraded versions of our modern day firearms.

    this game was a better mass effect game than mass effect. you actually got to pick missions off of the horologic screen on deck, do them, and got back to the ship.

    dog fighting was cool too.

    Been wanting to play the campaign but still $59.99 and rarely have seen it on sale. Hopefully when Microsoft does its thing it will be added to Game Pass.

    the biggest mistake was to call it cod. this led the expectations into a wrong direction. it could have been the beginning of a new franchise.

    i miss 3D movement so much, so much! that game was the top fun i’ve ever had online. I honeslty got depressed with the comunity hating on 3D and making it the last 3D cod. I didn’t touch a shooter after that before the advent of battle royales.

    Out of all the double jump, wall running CoDs we got, the only one I enjoyed was Bo3, I liked it more than WW2 as well, that was not a good CoD game.

    I think it was the most sluggish feeling of the three future/movement CODs, but it wasn’t bad. Overdone statement incoming- a lot of the ‘bad’ COD games would be pretty well received overall if they weren’t COD titles.

    Well hold on now. The campaign was INCREDIBLE, one of the best COD campaigns ever imo. They built a genuinely cool world with characters you could care about and then tore it all down in front of you. It was closer to Mass Effect than it was to COD.

    But let’s not be hasty. The multiplayer was so fucking bad that it balanced the game out to an average entry in the series lmao.

    Everyone talking about Infinity Ward, y’all realize that 90% of the team quit to form Respawn Entertainment before MW3 was even in production right? Its not IW now just an Activision puppet
