Here's Everything GREAT about Call of Duty Infinite Warfare! I hope you enjoy the video! Infinite Warfare was totally robbed. Infinity Ward actually cared about their campaign here and the story they were telling. This game's reception was the nail in the coffin for Activision to never do advanced movement again. I really enjoyed the game, and I 100% believe it deserved better.

This was my first and favorite COD it’s just super fun it’s also a little bit more open world
Fun fact: The main theme of this game is actually the song Sarah Schachner used as an audition for who would create the soundtrack and the devs liked it so much that they decided to use it as the main theme.
Sarah Schachner cooked a full dinner meal of a soundtrack on this game, I would argue MW19 was actually weaker all around (with the exception of Piccadily Circus, that one slaps)
@@glibchubik4090 and Into The Furnace, to be honest in general she goes hard with the themes, considering we dont have the likes of Hans Zimmer from the og Modern Warfare 2, she does a fantastic job and we lucky to have her
@@ksb5818 We really are lucky to have composers like her and Jack Wall working on CoD(can't wait to hear what he will have for Black Ops 2024), although can't help but miss what Zimmer/Lorne Bafle did on MW2, still my most re-listened soundtrack to this day, almost all tracks are iconic!
Sarah Schachner is goated.
I worked on the game, and I didn’t know that!😂
I am shocked you didn't win the "Last Will" recordings that play during the credits. Those things legitimately make me cry. Every time.
Ethan's especially.
I think arguably the most underrated part of Infinite Warfare's campaign is the "Specialist" difficulty you unlock after beating the campaign. It adds in some new mechanics like an injury system for your limbs that affect you in different ways (Broken arms mean worse aim, broken legs force you prone and prevent sprinting, etc). Your gun can be shot out of your hands, you have a helmet which can be destroyed and once it's gone a single headshot will kill you, etc. It's very cool, and I wish it carried over to future CoDs.
Best part of the whole game
That might be one of the most innovative changes to Call of Duty's approach to their campaigns. Veteran's always been "hur dur you die in one shot and enemy grenades are nukes", but this takes it a step further.
don't forget, if your helmet is broken and you start and in space area you instantly die
Yo, i may have to boot the game up just to try this.
Or if you managed to beat Specialist mode they gave you YOLO mode which was a nice perma death mode they didn’t even have to add like Specialist mode
Two things:
1. Rest in peace, Ethan. We'll remember you.
2. The basic plot of this game is "Jon Snow runs the Duchy of Zeon, but without mobile suits; shenanigans ensue".
I never understood why people dislike Call of Duty games that take place in a technologically advanced future. There was nothing wrong with it at all and yet people are sometimes jerks when it comes to reviews. Can someone please fill me in on why Call of Duty settings in a technologically advanced future are sometimes disliked
Becouse of the jetpack integration to the multiplayer, and the campaign went from cod doing grounded campaigns to 0 to a 100 in future, it made everyone think cod in space was goofy, look at bo2 its futuristic doesnt have jetpack and the future wasnt that futuristic out of now where
at the time, people got annoyed because it was getting milked to death. So when IW, the THIRD advanced movement CoD in three years, was revealed, people got very...heated.
@@gamingchannelofthefatboigo2595 that has to be the most ridiculous explanation I've ever heard. But I do see your point about the jetpack being an issue and potentially being a pain in the ass for other players
@@gamingchannelofthefatboigo2595 the jetpack movement is what made it unique though! I really hope they make AW2 cause that game is just so much fun. COD is getting boring again and its time they switch things up a bit again.
@@dmjr437 thank you very much. I'm glad you agree with me
Infinite Warfare is probably my favorite campaign out of all of them. I started late into COD and this one screamed a human element into a futuristic world. Having served in the Marines, seeing all of the inter-service banter brought a smile to my face.
Even in the far off future, Once A Marine Always A Marine? Thank you for your service sir, and god bless the Crayon Eating, Ass Kickiing, No Nonsense, Ever Prevalent Marine Corp!
I would love an Infinite Warfare 2. Ethan was confirmed to have survived, and it could have Salter being the commander of a bigger and better Retribution. Maybe expanding outside the solar system, and giving proper ship to ship combat.
I was a tester on this game, and as I recall, the narrative team DID want to make more of them.
Waaaait... where is he confirmed to have lived? Is this in game?
@@renriquez1994 In the end, you can see Ethan's head floating through space, and his AI is stored in his head.
Best cod campaign ever put out. The passion oozes through every part of it. Callbacks to the original cod, outstanding soundtrack composed by Sarah Schachner,(she also did the MW reboot ost), great worldbuilding and characters. This and the original Modern Warfare 2 are games I find myself returning too constantly to replay.
Yeah, it's so clear that devs had a ton of passion for the singleplayer and very little to the multiplayer
@@glibchubik4090 For once they focused on what was important.
I played this game to death with my brother. Played all the custom matches against each other. Wasn’t until later that I decided to play the campaign and my god, it was beautiful. This was one of the games on a very short list that made me cry at the end, up there with Cyberpunk 2077 base game AND DLC, Ghost of Tsushima, and Red Dead Redemption 2. It was heartbreaking, tragic, but also beautiful in a strange way that I will never be able to quantify.
That campaign and E3N specifically still stick with me to this day. E3N is and always will be my brother
If you feel like crying to end of a video game, play Titanfall 2's campaign if you haven't already. Its just beautiful
@@say-ef Will check it out. Thanks!
@@AlbinoGorilla4 np. Hope u have fun with it. Its a great game imo
I was a tester for the campaign, and I saw that ending too many times, but it never really lost its poignancy for me, and I find it someone gratifying to learn I wasn’t the only affected by it.
Missed one thing I’m so sad gets overlooked.
Raptor 2-1 in the final push.
He’s the flight lead for the Raptors that take out the AA guns - guns designed to kill fighters like raptors, and ends up the last pilot standing on the final gun. He dumps his entire payload but it isn’t enough. Reyes tells him he NEEDS the gun down, and without a second thought he initiates the mass strike that destroys the last AA gun.
Self sacrifice.
I worked on this game, and we really worked hard, and we loved the game and the work. When it shipped, and people didn’t like it, it was hard on us. All these years later, to see this appreciation of something that was a big part of my life is very gratifying.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
It's a fantastic game thank you
@@reynaldiwidjaja277 I can’t even begin to tell you how much that means to me. From the bottom of my heart… THANK YOU
Honestly, we’re y’all forced to make MW2019 or would you have made IW2 if you could have?
@@EternalPhoenix2183 I moved to Treyarch before MW reboot got 100% rolling. When I left, I was still on integration testing of DLC packs (which was cool, because I got to play the finished Zombies maps before anyone except the other testers.)
But I can tell you this: when they made the announcement and showed us the first test footage, the entire studio was excited about it.
I would have said “yes” to IW2.
I agree with the sentiment of the video and others in the comments: This was among the best entries I've ever experienced in the years I've loved CoD. I have always been so much more focused on Campaign and story play in the games I consume, and this one legitimately is one of the best game stories I've ever experienced. Not just as a CoD game, but overall. The emotion was so much to me, and it never felt fake or forced, when listening to dialogue. Whatever part you played in the development of this sheer work of art... Thank you.
I find it quite noteworthy that a COD in Space has one-of the most-grounded campaign narratives in the entire franchise, also has the best difficulty setting, Specialist, that actually modifies the gameplay to the vulnerability of your suit. Not bad for one-of the worst-received premier trailers in RUclips’s history. 👍
You could have given some wins to the ending voice recordings made by mostly every character you find throughout the campaign. It's a nice touch and this is the only cod that had them, I cried a little when I first heard them.
It's crazy to think that the hatred this and other advanced movement CoD games got caused the franchise to spiral into every increasing mediocrity. Now Activision's focus is entirely off the campaign and off multiplayer, and strictly on pushing Warzone content, transforming CoD into a carbon copy of so many other battle royale style games. They were punished for allowing developers to do anything different and only now is the fanbase beginning to realize what a mistake that was. Stagnation is death for gaming franchises.
I'm honestly so happy that with how bad mw23 was people have been looking back on this games campaign and realising how ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE THE CAMPAIGN IS
Also the voice cast brian bloom as reyes is absolutely incredible in this Game and ethan in always a win
Also
"Is that rain sir"
Probably top 3 for me. I really enjoyed it and finished replaying it recently.
Have you ever tried completing Specialist difficulty? Makes you play it whole lot differently xD
Loving this series, hopefully we'll get to see a take on the Mordor: SoM and SoW games at some point because I just like to hear people talk about how cool they were.
Both are already done!
@@GamingWinscan you do doom?
Fun fact: You can actually kill Kotch while he’s making his final speech to you. Neat detail
"You're my brother Ethan"... had me in tears when I first played the campaign way back
Honestly any game with a touching moment between a man and machine like that is worth playing.
I can’t be the only person that thinks Infinite Warfare is similar to Halo: Reach. Only one character surviving, the space combat being extremely similar, the IW drop ship being basically a one to one of the pelican, the enemy that is met in the first level (field marshal and kotch) reappearing throughout the campaign, energy and ballistic weapons being more useful against certain enemy (shields in Halo and robots in IW), the heavy enemy having an invincible shield, the UNSA being spelt suspiciously similar to UNSC, the player dying in the end, breaking into an enemy’s spaceship. The biggest difference is that the good guys win in Infinite Warfare, and in IW the invasion is instant.
8:48 Imagine a shooter game where you get to play a robot character, and when you get shot you don't just fall and have to crawl slowly to safety hoping a teammate heals you, but instead you lose your arms and/or legs and can continue to fight. If you loose your legs you can keep moving by speedily crawling with your arms or you can just lie there and shoot if you still have your gun arm. If you loose both arms, kick the enemy.
Compared to the other 2 futuristic cod campaigns, this was probably the best out of the 3
I like how the Volk is just an AK-pattern rifle modified to fire energy bolts. That and it's grabbed from the SDF, it shows that they're resourceful. Taking an old weapon, and modifying it to compete with stuff like the Type 2
I played this game. I didn't care or was a CoD game. I only knew I had to play it, and I loved it. I cried when I lost Ethan; hell, I cried during the credits as I plates each of the goodbye messages. And I was streaming this at the time; so not talking as the credits roll isn't a thing I do. But I couldn't help it; I was too emotional. These were my crew, my brothers, my family, and I loved each of them. Seeing your name on that wall was too much to handle.
This was a 9.5 game was me. The only thing that could have made it better is if the main villain was better written.
So I'm happy to see someone else feels the way I do about this game, thanks.
And yes; I pre-ordered the deluxe copy. Steelbook and all. Worth ever penny.
Im so happy you did Infinite, as much as the community hates it I really did love the campaing and the characters stories. Another Great Video GW!
It's honestly one of my favourite CoD campaigns. It was at least character driven and felt like a classic rollicking sci-fi action movie.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is, without question, my favorite game in the franchise. Sure, the original Modern Warfare may have broke more ground for the genre, but Infinite Warfare is far and above the best STORY, which is what I play games for. WWII comes close, they really make you feel your friendship with Zussman and the pain of losing Turner, but Infinite Warfare really made me care about each and every member of the crew, from major players like Reyes, Raines, and Salter to secondary supporting characters like Kashima, Griff, and Gator, to even the more minor characters who get minimal screentime, like Boats. They all feel like people to me, and that bit in the credits where you can play their final messages to friends and family really tugs at my heartstrings. The weapons are really fun, too, and the ability to pick your loadout before most missions rather than being deployed with a standard set of gear really makes it feel personal. Infinite Warfare is the only CoD game I've ever 100%ed (only counting the campaign) and as I'm not a huge fan of 100%ing games, that says a lot. The only other game I've ever 100%ed was Final Fantasy VII, and I guess, technically, Jet Set Radio Future. It's a game that does pretty much everything I look for in a game really well - great story, fun combat, meaningful characters, just a dash of humor, and a solid soundtrack. It's honestly a tragedy that this game didn't get the respect it deserved upon launch.
I LOVED that idea you had about taking the major players for CoD games and have them each make their own game. Give them liberty in their settings and themes and let them go wild, doing what each of them do best. That way there's no "Oh hey Sledgehammer is trying to be Treyarch " or whatever, they're just making their own thing. Sure, they'd all be pretty different while sharing the same core, but I think it's a cool use of the IP!
They'd have to stop making new games every year
Even if Seekers don't kill their target, they leave a little "injured" marker on them, making them double as a valuable recon by fire tool. If they don't find any targets they'll return to you and follow you around, from which you can recover them with the interact key. While they're in follow mode they will *continue* to target seek, meaning you can choose to throw them preemptively and let them go for anyone who gets close to you. Just make sure to recover them before interacting with scripted sequences or they'll disappear. Never has a single grenade offered so much so depth
Space Vector: Has two mags
Space MTAR: Goes from full auto to fuller auto
Space M14: Turns into an assault rifle
Space Intervention: Fires two shots at once
In the multiplayer there's an M1 Garand that someone modernized the front end of, but the stock looks 200 years old lol
DCM-8 looks like a fucking car muffler with a camera on it
Oni shoots faster the longer you hold down the trigger
Hailstorm hurts my brain. I think it's supposed to have three rounds in each cylinder? AN-94, eat your heart out
Space FMG-9: SPLITS INTO TWO MACHINE PISTOLS
Banshee: KILL PEOPLE WITH SOUND
Wacky space guns are so awesome
You can hipfire around the side of the shield at the cost of coverage. It's also a scanning tool. Like a good rope dart or grapple hook, this becomes an extension of your body once you get the hang of it
Go play SOMA
There's an achievement for killing Kotch before he finishes his speech
Okay, I love the broken camo rig so much. This game gets you into a rhythm, especially if you're going on a lot of side missions, of briefing, jumping, choosing your loadout, and launching. There's repetition in the sets and dialogue that build player habits, so when it breaks those it really feels like you're holding out with almost nothing
The single best part of Infinite Warfare is the extra difficulty setting that unlocks after completing the campaign. The notification is so brief and nondescript that you probably clicked through it before you could even read it. Despite being listed before Veteran, Specialist isn't technically harder. It's based on Regular, but there's no health regen - you'll miss it when it's gone. Instead you need to use stims to get your health back and replace your now destructible ballistic visors to protect yourself from headshots and suffocation during zero gravity sections. In addition to that, you can take four different kinds of injuries on your four different limbs that have increasingly severe effects on different elements of handling, plus the chest, which just deals flat damage. On top of THAT there are extra equipment slots to facilitate carrying medical items, new HUD elements to track your injuries, rebalanced equipment drops in the level design, and so much more. This radically transforms the whole game so extensively that if you didn't play Specialist mode, you didn't play Infinite Warfare. You also teased that you'd talk about side missions, but you never got around it. If anyone reading has yet to start the game, I recommend blowing through the main story as fast as you can on Regular or Recruit to unlock this, then do everything on Specialist, because that's where the real game starts
Even if this comment is weaponized autism, I agree.
The special weapons in Iw were beyond good! Putting AW’s dual LMGs and BO3’s wacky 2 shot kill LMG to shame!
Specialist is a great mode, although I wouldn’t gatekeep for not playing it. If anything, I beat the difficulty after specialist although I don’t recommend anyone to do that.
And I would add to this comment by saying that the streaks are underrated because while they look weak, their mobility and ability to enter buildings make them insanely good and lethal in the right hands with some luck in spawns.
And to end the additions, Zombies was actually super fun.
Spaceman’s being the best “complicated” release map and the DLC being the first to introduce a Super Easter Egg!
To be honest the bit with Reyes and Ethan floating in space as Reyes has no oxygen the scene always brings a tear to my eye hearing Ethan say “I think I’m scared sir” truly my favorite character in the campaign
Just wanted to shine a light on Gators actor who also is played Farid in the Black ops 2 both characters who sacrificed themselves for the main characters of the story, plus I absolutely love the actors voice (Omid Abtahi)
Sucks they didn’t get Salter actress back for MW2 (since she was Roze VA in 2019) but looking at her history she doesn’t do much in video games.
I love how beautiful the missions can be even on the first mission
When I saw that you were playing and covering the CoD games I just had to suggest Infinite Warfare because I love the campaign, it's my favourite one of the entire franchise, and I wanted to see what you had to say about it; when I saw that you hearted my comment I was excited and waited patiently for the video to come out and my patience has been awarded and I'm super glad you liked it! Watching this video made feel the feelings I had on my first playthrough and every playthrough since, I would play it a gazillion more times without getting bored but I sadly lost my copy for the game.
I can die happy now that I've seen this video and your thoughts on it, you have a good day GW! You've made mine!🧡🧡
Genuinely one of my favorite FPS campaigns. It really feels like this game could have been its own thing instead of them trying to force it as a Call of Duty game.
this campaign is one of mt favorites' glad to see you enjoyed it as much as i did a friend once told me we remeber people not just for what actions they take but also the ones the dont reyes is by far my favorit protag and thats why sure those who knew him will remember the lives lost because he was trying to save everyone but the people of earth will know him as the man who lead a daring offensive against a insurmountable threat and gave his life to see the mission completed and the sdf navy crippled sure one day it will come to light how many died under his command it always does but it wont change the fact that he did what was necessary in the end any commander who has any sort of conscience cares about their troops and does their best to bring them home but they also knows that sometimes thats not possible ryes learned that lesson right in time to be able to give his life and the lives of many of his crew to do what had to be done the ending of this game in my opioun is perfect for the type of story it was trying to tell of sacrifice and what it means to be a commander in his postion
This is one of my favourite Call Of Duty. I am actually replaying it at the moment on Veteran.
Try Specialist. It's not actually harder than Veteran, it just removes health regen and adds a ton of new mechanics
@@icarusgaming6269 That's was gonna be my next play through plan lol
18:37 fun fact, if you're fast enough you can take out the enemy c12 before it beats up yours. E3n doesn't have to reboot it and you just continue forward.
Shit, is that true?
Second mission in that little segment with the explosion fog going everywhere the people in there show the exact signs of shock as one would in a real scenario such as that scene
Great video -- thanks! I tried this game -- when I was first new to PS4 and gaming, and at a time when I was in my 50s. I halted it, for the wrong reason -- a buddy of mine -- a lifelong gamer, basically told me IW was trash and not "true to COD" so I left it. Started over in December 2023 and now I'm in my 60s -- and wow! For one - because I'm better, having learned how to play, but for two - because the game, it's stories, relationships, and missions, are first rate.
I should have never quit, based on the opinion of someone else -- that one's on me; but man I'm glad I found it and got back to it when I did; at a time when I can truly appreciate it. I think the game, and the campaign is amazing! Cheers.
This was my favorite CoD and still is. Every time I get to the end of the campaign I'm hopeful there's some secret 1% chance ending that Reyes gets rescued. The antagonist wasn't great, sure, but the rest of the game was amazing
28:05 You definitely need to come over to the UK at some point on November 11th because it's truly wonderful and you need to see all the remembrance stuff that happens on that day to remember everyone who fought in WWI and WWII.
Dude finally! someone who shares a similar sentiment for this game. Multiplayer was never one of my favorite things at the time so I barely touched it, but zombies and campaign were crazy!! so so so many memories were made playing zombies in Spaceland and running it back with my boy E3N in campaign. Literally one of my favourite cods despite other better and worse games in the entire franchise.
This is my most played COD of all time, always loved it
I remember thinking the trailer looked absolutely fire and was hyped for it (an Halo fan). I really enjoyed the campaign for most of the reasons named in this video, don't remember playing the multiplayer.
Looking back now, I feel like this is closer to a modern Halo than whatever 5 and Infinite tried to do. I remember being surprised at how much I liked the characters and didn't find them over the top, edgy, or stupid. It felt natural and grounded.
They dropped one of the last CoD banger and most people looked the other way.
Now they keep on dropping crap and we're just rolling with it.
Yeah that's true and this is why I really hate CoD fans, they will hate the devs when they try to innovate something fresh for CoD like infinite warfare, but when Activision blatently turn a literal DLC of CoD MWII (2022) into a standalone game which IS CoD MWIII they will defend it against people that hate it for good reasons till their last breath, modern CoD fans are braindead gamers/consumers.

IW was one of the first COD campaigns in a while that made me feel something other than short hype, disappointment, or confusion (BO3). It was more than just about a group of soldiers with a few standout characters. This was about a family having to sacrifice itself. The end recording made my heart wrench. Not only that but it had a good premise for a zombie mode. Teens being sucked into old horror movies by a satanic spell is just a fun premise. I will say I was on a similar boat with IW when it the first trailer dropped. But years after, I see the passion this game has and respect it wholeheartedly.
Honestly even from the beginning this was hands down one my FAVORITE COD campaigns. The story, the characters, the setting. Also this was waaaay more boots on the ground than like a Black Ops 3.
I passed this game up at launch and only recently played it when it went on sale....and i very much wish i had played it sooner because i absolutely loved this Campaign and the game all together!!!!.
9:15 this flight into orbit feels so guttural and worth it. Any game that puts in this kind of work into that feeling, however momentary, has my respect.
A few head cannon I have for the game.
The SDF have laser tech cause it was cheaper in the long run with you just needing to recharge the mag instead of making bullets for each troop. They would instead use the gunpowder and steel for ammo on their main ships or fighter jets
When Ethan was in space and said "I think I'm scared sergeant" I think he was serious and was surprised himself cause the metal plates moved to let the glass plates moved forward doing the robot version of going wide-eye at the realization
This is up there for one of the hardest cod games to veteran on .those space missions when you aren’t in your ship are so difficult
The secret difficulty above Veteran is much better balanced. It's based on Regular, but it adds so many new mechanics it becomes a whole different game
One really sad thing in this game is the credits with the voice memos from the characters that had died. It shows that they were just like us and it makes me feel bad every time I play this
Ethans line, "I think I'm scared sir." Everytime gives me chills and nearly tear up. He doesnt know what he's feeling, fear is an emotion and something that he isnt used to feeling or really knowing at all.
"Im scared sir" the one line made me weep and love this campaign
The Last Jedi diss earned you a new sub
18:33
UNSA C-12 vs SDF C-12
*"Let them fight..."*
Absolutely perfect. 😅👌
u know where it hit the most ? the part in the credit where u can hear everyone testament and their think about the Res when they got transfer to Res and the first part of the mission when they still in contact with earth
It's also called Infinite Warfare because that's loosely the Latin phrase/motto Kotch says repeatedly throughout the campaign. "Mars Aeternum."
This game makes me cry every time I play it because I remember my dad giving it to me to take my mind off my grandma when she got really sick with cancer. I got to talk to her one last time went home finished this game and that night she passed. I was watching the messages at the end of the game when my mom called the house phone. I’ve redownloaded the game recently and have been putting off playing it cause I don’t want to cry.
Now this is great. I love this little thing you do about games in general.
Honestly I'm a bit upset you didn't score the credits audio logs of the fallen members of the crew cause that was the moment where I balled my eyes out because they honestly felt a bit too real and all the more deviating.
It's amazing that one of my favorite sifi ships (The Olympus mons) is from a cod campaign
I saw that community post, we need Skyrim! Oh, but I love your videos and will continue to enjoy either way
I got Infinite Warfare with a PS4 bundle that my step-dad got me for Christmas when it first came out. I remember enjoying pretty much everything about the game, especially playing zombies with my siblings, and I’m sad that I didn’t really get to appreciate it because I thought of it as just another CoD game.
This was my first ever CoD after years of growing up on Halo. Have to say, the campaign really hit me in the feels. Also I’m one of the sadistic guys that liked the multiplayer so this game has a special place in my heart. Nice to see it on this channel?
The MP is still probably my favorite in the series tied with BO2.
The multiplayer was good
EHHHH some love for such an underrated cod game!!!!!
(Also because I didn't get to comment on you Halo reach video, cos I was out at the time, the reason I love Halo Reach is how it shows how no matter how hard you try, Spartans really are just humans on the inside, just like Atriox said, and I love the irony of each of noble teams deaths.)
Also Poor Kash
This has been one of my all time favorites since it first released, I was one who personally loved Advanced and Infinite, still do, I loved the movement and stories
Kashima's death had me crying especially when he said " is that rain sir" and then he was gone
This is still my favorite CoD campaign and still the only one to make me cry, mainly the during-credit letters/logs you can listen to. You realize that actual soldiers in our world do this for their family and friends and it's heartbreaking to realize that, and that many soldier never get home, but they fight so their loved ones don't have to.
I'm not sure why but the ending reminded me of a common saying in the military: "the best of us don't make it home"
How dare you not winning "is that rain, sir?" from kashima trying to make Reyes look away as he dies at his hands!?
Also, just a cool detail. When you have your knife at Kotch’s throat when he’s dying, you can either let him finish his monologue and he’ll bleed out, and Reyes will just toss him aside. OR you can press the shoot button as soon as your knife comes up and you’ll stab him in the throat.
AI is a hard line to question. Because as much as we all want to believe that we could have such a symbiotic relationship there is a paranoia that robots are not human. They do not think like us. It’s just that pop culture has basically set expectations that robots will be the end of us because we are naturally untrusting and aggressive to those we perceive as not “us”
There’s also the whole robot revolution thing that people think about. But I would like to hope that AI could be as personable as Ethan the robot. It’s a nice change of view from what we normally think about with robots.
We share a similar sentiment
Y'all need to play SOMA
Would love to see you play the mass effect trilogy
E3N, his story really hit me personally. I have a friend that unfortunately I haven't spoken to in a minute. His name, it's Ethan, and he was there from the beginning. When no one else accepted me, Ethan reached and during the entirety of my childhood, he was there, my brother.
Fuck I hate being an adult. Imma call that beautiful bastard up and hang with him like old times.
Ethan for me is The Simon Riley of Infinite Warfare. Really loves the character. Just got him on COD Mobile and I can't describe how happy I am.
Im replaying this now and i still love it. One of the best CoD games.
Everything was seemless, no cutaways no dBrief. We need a sequel
I had to get this game to get MWR since it came in a bundle and the remaster I put a lot of time in. But I did dip a bit into the campaign and zombies of infinite warfare and that is what made me enjoy the game a lot. I wasn’t a fan of the multiplayer but the campaign and zombies kept me interested. Honestly, if 2 out of the 3 game modes kept me interested into it, that’s a good CoD game in my opinion.
I was in the same boat as you. I initially had no intention of touching IW I got the bundle for MWR. But I decided to try it and man I was surprised. I was blown away by the campaign. Zombies was just goofy fun. And honestly aside from micro transactions being a little too much pay to win, the multiplayer was alright. The map selection was pretty good and the base guns felt pretty good.
One thing I'm slightly disappointed by is the fact that you didn't mention all the little messages that you can listen to during the credits. Really helped sell the idea that these were real people that we led to our deaths.
From "Solo" Stories. IW is deffo my favourite.
Though the WaW - Bo3 and OG MW trilogy just cant be beat when put together.
11:17 I could be pulling straws but was that a reference to Battleship?
14:05 - Actually, once you've upgraded the hacking charges, they can take over the C8s, so they're a complete non-issue as long as you include those in your loadout or find some along the way.
E3N and just the overall character development of this game was so amazing....It was one of the few newer gen cod games where I felt compassion for losing my guys.
I noticed that you didn't touch on the letters home in the credits
oh my god this game, this has to be one of my top favourite campaigns i remember playing and not being able to stop. It is the only game ive cried over and thats when Ethan died id build him up as my favourite character i had to physically pause my game and cry for 10 mins because it had felt that i had actually lost a friend. I'm glad this story is finally getting the appreciation it deserves
I just realized the voice actor who NICK REYES the main character Brian Bloom played BJ in the Wolfenstein game shit I can't stop hearing it
I was surprised at how good the Infinite Warfare Is. It's a pinnacle of COD campaign experiences for me.
The mechanics in COD IW were well-implemented and polished.
Even If the people barely understand the story they can still experience the craft that devs put love In It.
It's very hard to say the same about modern CODs.
you said that reminded u of halo intro vibes, i felt it was more killzone trailer
I highly recommend replaying the game on specialist difficulty (the one you unlock for completing the campaign) it adds multiple things I have never seen in other games specially other CODS
Cod IW is a good game especially the SP and I have said that since the start, the ending reminded me of star wars rouge one a little, giant death weapon that takes on everything with a giant beam of death, robot friend who sacrifices their life at the end to get save you, main characters dying or at least one of them did, the rebels storming an enemy planet making 20 guys feel like 100 or in this case 100 feel like 1000 and yea a lot of what I'm talking about is out of order but I still stand by it XDD and we start off with this guy using star wars as we watch the HALO pelican fly by. We had guns with two mags way before this game came out. Glad I'm not the only one seeing all the references and I'm not the only one wooooo he's also sees the rouge one energy lets goooo
Campaign and zombies for this game is so underrated
I always liked it to some extent, it being in space and I just love space by default, the characters are really good and feel believable for a game set in a futuristic world, seamless transitions, cool weapons and the ability to change them how you like, unique enemies that you actually have to think about how to beat and it feels good when you do beat them, unlike the bullet sponge juggernaut enemies in the modern warfare reboot games that makes you angry because you know it's BS, even if you kill them. there are other things to mention that are good but I kind of forgot them, oops.
what this game does...less well...is the story itself and the enemy faction...which both had great potential but due to some reason they fell well short of the characters themselves. a mars colony eventually rebelling against earth is a cool idea and is also believable because of human nature, but they feel little more than generic bad guys and it's unfortunate because the same thing kind of happened with call of duty ghosts and the federation.
but this game's biggest mistake was to be released when it was, because it got hated to oblivion, and because of bad timing and for being the third futuristic call of duty game in a row (I think), but thankfully people think more positively of the game now.
anyways, it is probably up there for me in better call of duty games, possibly one of my favorites. of course OG mw2 wins because that is what I started with, but this game may be a close second.
This game and others helped me build up my storybook universe and I hope to one day share that with everyone.
i cried when i played it trough. that just tells how good the story is
20:19 lol TLJ reference I see you
please do every thing great about the portal games
After playing black ops 3 and feeling how smooth the game was and the camera work, infinite warfare felt like a setback, since it felt stiffer and alot smaller, i regret trying out multiplayer first before the campaign since that killed my mood for the game because at the time it was repetitive visually and certain maps looked like a mobile game.
But ill admit in saying the first map of zombies was really good on how creative it felt and i wish i had more time with this game to play around with it, sadly i got the version where you need the infinite warfare disk to play cod 4 remastered, so most my time was spent there
This is my favorite of the COD campaigns I own for PS4 (This, Ghosts, Black Ops III, and Advanced Warfare). IMO every COD campaign after Back Ops II should include a player selected loadout option. Let us decided what gun types we want to use instead of leaving us scrounging for guns mid-level and hoping the developers included our two favorite types.
This would make so much sense now that we have gunsmith
