![]() Salen Kotch barely gets any screen time and has some monologues and he gets taken out before the game is even finished. It has side characters and content and as a result, if you only do the main missions, it feels shorter than your average CoD and it the story gets wrapped up super quickly. I liked the begginning of the story and it has much more nuanced politics than something like Modern Warfare 2 does and I prefer it's setting over the Modern Warfare games since intergalatic space politics stories to me has the potential to be more deep than the generic wannabe action movies of the Modern Warfare and Black Ops games, and I do really think the game starts off strong with the good guys being arrogant by starting an invasion of the Settlement Defense Front with a 4 man unit instead of invading with an army, and Salen Kotch showing the more character he ever shows throughout the rest of the game and how there is a slow build up towards the war with Sef Def, it kind of feels like a classic space opera sci fi show like Babylon 5, Battlestar Galatica, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and Mobile Suit Gundam, but then the actual game starts and while it isn't terrible and the character interactions are decent enough, I don't think the story ever reaches the heights of those opening few hours. The story much like the game itself while good in concept feels half baked. I'll start with the story first then gameplay. I do get some enjoyment out of this game but not without saying to myself, "this could be so much more". ![]() ![]() I prefer it over Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 3, but the potential still feels only quarter realized. It's actually a somewhat cheap trick, but I cannot deny that it genuinely got to me! I don't know how often I'll revisit this one – definitely not as much as the Modern Warfare games or the first Black Ops, but certainly more than Ghosts or Advanced Warfare, or any Battlefield game for that matter!ħh Played CoD Infinite Warfare is a game I like in concept rather than execution, while it easily plays the best out of the furturistic CoD games, I still feel like the game could be much more. ![]() Actually, let's not mince words – I absolutely loved this mid 2/3 of the game, as it involves you choosing which missions to carry out, and each one is specifically designed to weaken the enemy's invading armada, and I've always wanted to see a movie/show, or play a game, that did exactly this! With each victory, you can feel your enemy's hold getting weaker, making this feel more like a proper War entry than any other sci-fi shooter that I can think of! Heck, because the enemy space-battleships are akin to Star Destoyers in Star Wars, these battles are the Star Wars space battles that I always wanted to see, but never got to! Now, the final part of the game does lower the fun a lot, as everything bad that could happen does indeed happen – AGAIN! - but I actually really liked the final moments, as you are forced to see many of the people who stood by you the entire time dying, and the end credits actually lets you listen to the messages they left for their families. However, after that, you go onto a space-battleship, and here is where the game gets good. Not the first mission – that's actually pretty good, but the attack on Earth and the fallout/firefight over the next hour, is really kinda terrible. Now, the game has some SERIOUS missteps, and almost all of them are at the very start I say no hyperbole that the opening part of the game is easily the worst. 8h 32m PlayedI know that a lot of people would strongly disagree with me, as this game is actually the most down-voted Call of Duty game, or at least it was at the time of launch, but this might be my favorite since Modern Warfare 3.
