COD Infinite Warfare is actually very good (I was lied to) 

All the flashback scenes really fucked up the pacing of the actual story of the game

The motivation of the villain is straight out of a 2 second rick and morty gag.

@@sirballin9016 I just don't like how edgy the death quotes were, the ones they made up. For example. "People often say conflicts are settled with words. My bullets are faster."

YES

It would've done better without the "Call of Duty" in the title.

As a whole, it was meh. The campaign was what really saved this game and made it shine. I’ll agree, one of the best campaigns of the franchise.

Kit harrington played a great bad guy and the rest of the campaign was great

@Brian Katongo let's hope Microsoft can bring back the balance in Call of duty

omfg i want an Infinite Warfare 2 on the MW2019 engine SO BAD

The multiplayer was fine but Zombies and Campaign is where this game shines. Which is becoming more of the norm for Cod.

@@channel45853 until vanguard zombies came along

Bro telling me not to rush, but learning the speedrun for this game is what made me realise how fun it is lmao. Just good gameplay either way tbh.

You sir, are 100 percent correct

And if I remember correctly you need to shoot down only the aces to progress.

Multiplayer is good too. The game as a whole was great, but I didn’t play it until well after it came out. It came out in the time were we didn’t want more bo3 movement shooters.

IW was very slept on and the multiplayer was great too. The game felt so different from other CoD titles and not really in a bad way, it was refreshing.

It's another titanfall reskin

@@basedmax9029 I've played both IW and Titanfall 1 and 2. It ain't a Titanfall reskin.

@@innoclarke7435 yes it is, I'll leave you to figure it out

Think it was the multiplayer everyone hated

@@shotgunner75 Yeah the multiplayer sucked

People just hated the advanced movement. The infinite warfare multiplayer and campaign were good, just most people didn’t give it very much of a chance and were blinded with hate towards the movement

@@ShiiroHasu no the multiplayer was invisible barrier simulator

@@andrewburkett7008 that's all Cod multiplayers

Specialist was quite frankly the coolest experience I’ve ever had playing a Call of Duty game, I’m surprised that mode never came back

I actually really enjoyed Specialist mode when I played through it, and I don't normally play games on the hardest difficulties. Something about the whole resource management/pseudo-tactical gameplay just clicked for me.

@@thegrouchization the fact both u and the enemy can one hit kill each other with no helmets and actually using stims was just so fun. Really wish something like that was in MWII.

@@dscorpio1626 Funnily enough, the one-hit-kill headshots actually lead to me dying before I'd even had a chance to move at one point. I was coming out of a cutscene where the characters had no helmets on, and the mode is actually consistent enough that at the start of gameplay the first thing Reyes would do was put his on. But since this was a section where the cutscene transitioned directly into an active firefight, there was a small window of "gameplay" where he doesn't have one equipped. Cue a random bullet flying right through his head the moment the cutscene ended, sending me right back to the previous checkpoint. Fortunately, this both happened very early on in my playthrough (at the start of the first Geneva mission, when Nick and Nora are in the dropship that crashes into the market) and it was somewhere in the middle of a series of restarts (I will readily admit that I'm not the best at games), so I was more amused by the improbability than annoyed by the inconvenience when it happened.

I hate difficult shit but for some reason I pushed through even though there was no reward for completing specialist

unfortunately though, cod hasnt been a single-player focused series in quite some time

Not Zombies though, just multiplayer but the series I wish weren't Cod games is Black Ops.

I believed that IW zombies is the only good non-treyarch zombies, or atleast it was decent, the maps up until the ones where you shoot the aliens as the first enemies were all good, maybe the zombies story isn't as good as treyarch but then again Treyarch at that point has a decade to make their zombies storyline make sense while IW only have the 3 years cycle given to it to make the zombies

@@johnpatrickdelacruz2910 shoot the aliens?!? Thats the first map and ons of the best maps in all of cod history

@@channel45853 you right multiplayer could've have been scrapped but zombies and campaign where insane with mephistopheles best boss fight eva

I mean, ghost and advanced warfare did a lot of innovation too

@@simplementepersona and don't forget BO3. That one was quite unique

Yeah, and now we get 4 hour campaigns which are very strict and linear and don't give you as many ways to interact with the levels. Black Ops: Cold War kinda did it but was still short and an ending was made canon for the lore so the multiple choice ending didn't matter. Cold War is such a step down for the campaigns of the Black Ops franchise.

Eh, not super innovative. A lot of things in multiplayer were cut and copy from bo3.

@@DR.P3RKY the multiplayer of this cod is something we don't talk about. They wasted the chance of zero g mp mode

Same

Played Ghosts recently and it was....a perfectly good game. BF4 just shat all over it in multiplayer.

@@echodelta2172 No man lol. It was the CoD fanbase themselves because they thought it was copying from Battlefield (all because your legs were visible when laying down) and because it was the same as the other CoD titles

Same the multiplayer sucked it’s all the worst parts of cod multiplayer with some new ideas thrown in. The campaign was awesome though

Ethan was the best thing about IW and BT was the best thing about Titanfall 2..."trust me".

@@Dany1239 i almost cried when at the scene where you are with him in space

I just don’t get the hate on iw’s multiplayer, it had very good maps and balanced specialists system and the dlc weapons can be unlocked for free , it’s the best multiplayer we ever got on ps4, did you even play the game ?

The multiplayer was just reskinned Black Ops 3

You should try call of duty advance warfare

@@FishnShip meh, you don't get to travel around the solar system with your own space ship.

@@adamofblastworks1517 yeah. It just a bit similar to it not to mic

@@FishnShip it’s not that good tbh , the only good thing about it is the campaign and that’s about it

Have you ever played another cod?

Probably because people wanted a WW2 style game and not some space marine thing. I don't know though but if the game everyone hates came out prior to this one then I think my theory holds but I might have got it backwards

Because it was another jetpack cod after 2 similar games, people wanted boots on ground cod at that time.

Because people were sick and tired of futuristic shooters at the time. It's like when zombie games died down. There were hundreds of them, and people just wanted something else.

The fact that the COD brand was attached to it. Call it idiocy if you want but even I can't bring myself to play this just because of that fact. And it's not like a fanatism towards the more realistic settings of the other games, it's just a "meh", this is not what I expect from COD. But maybe I should play this and AW too, because people say beside the generic tropes of the story and settings they're fun.

Doesn't mean that their hatred was invalid. People who want to play strategy games would get angrier and angrier if you kept giving them FPS games. They wanted something other than another futuristic shooter. COD gave them another futuristic shooter. Is the game bad? Maybe, maybe not. But what mattered was that they didn't seem to listen, or pay attention to what their audience wanted. Battlefield did, however. So they got the praise.

A lot of people were pissed off because the MW2 remaster was tied to IW, not because of the setting.

@@Soridan It wasn’t MW2. And that was not the main reason people were mad.

@@BigFry9591 it was kinda invalid, i cant imagine getting mad at three futuristic games over ten games that were kind of about wwii

@@wackyclock And having 10 games about WW2 gets on people's nerves as well. So it's not really invalid. Give people too much of one thing they get bored or sick of it.

Specialist is definitely veteran

I played specialist and it's harder than veteran.

Specialist is one of the best things to come to IW, shame it didn't return in later CoDs.

@@mohammadrezapahlavi4578 absolutely is Veteran

I just couldn't get used to the new dynamics of multiplayer that they incorporated with wall running and everything else. It was starting to feel like they were edging dangerously close to Halo rather than maintaining their own identity. Now it feels like its taking on a new form of life where it mirrors that of Fortnite and Halo... There's so much sprinting, jumping, sliding, skidding, and bunny hopping that it doesn't feel like CoD back in MW 1-3. Hell, even BOII people called drop shooting as a "tryhard" tactic. Now its just everywhere... It turns me off to the game's multiplayer now... Because I just don't have time, with a 40 hour work week, to want to learn those kinds of reflexes... They don't even realize they're killing off an entire generation of gamers who, most of them, having a genuine love and a genuine standard they would like to see CoD return to again (which they did with MW2019, where everything felt whole again).

My exact thoughts, you commit to it or you flop in the multiplayer and TF2 did this perfectly, kind of a shame

Fun fact! Brian Bloom is the guy behind MW19 and MWII’s campaigns. Guys a great writer! Shame he wasn’t back for MWIII. (Probably why the story sucked. I have a theory that if he was here, he’d improve it.)

spittin

Have you not played MW2 or BO1?

Or BO2? (I mean, it is really good)

Were you not there? It was because people were tired of futuristic shooters. They wanted something more "boots on the ground" and set in the past. COD failed to deliver that, and instead gave us what we were saying we didn't want. Battlefield did deliver. So they got praise.

@@BigFry9591 Cold War and Vanguard are both boots on the ground and are two of the most hated CoDs of all time. Your point?

It was because people were sick and tired of futuristic shooters. That's why Battlefield got so much praise at the time. That was the main issue.

Was 80 bucks. Bought it myself and dont regret it for a second

I believe Infinity Ward consulted NASA and the Navy to nail down the realism. some of the calling cards were actual posters made by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Lab. lotta detail went into this game, which made it one of my favorite entries in cod.

@@sneed7123 why did anyone hate this game?

@@emingmann1400 because 99% of the people never tried it and only because it was futuristic with exo suit (double jump) and the last to games also got that so everyone called it bad only after seeing the trailer and reactions of streamers. People cant think for themself

people had the retro-fever then, this was released against BF1

@@echodelta2172 And Titanfall 2, which was its main competitor.

@@dignelberrt nah, Titanfall were just forgotten by everyone. Which where waste of a great game that they could had released in any other time of the year

Why ?

@@hussien04 well, it still did good. But it caught alot of backlash for being to sci fi and like Halo at the time.

CoD is going through this repeat phase. Again. Sledgehammer went back to WW2 because people were making comments about the repetitiveness of how future is becoming the new "fad" for Activision to capitalize on, rather than spreading it out and allowing more creativity across the board. But this time their creativity feels INCREDIBLY stifled. So much so it almost seems as if the Developers really don't have any control anymore. They just pump out the game because Activision is holding a metaphorical gun to their heads of "Do this or the entire team gets replaced with people who will do this," And considering from what I understand, game design and development is an INCREDIBLY competitive career field. So its even worse when you consider that these people are having to make the choice between keeping their jobs and ensuring their families are cared for financially and benefits wise, or sacrifice it on the principles that made the likes of CoD, MoH and BF great in the first place...

And then demand Cod to try new things. But, don't hold me to this, but an article said that they might be trying s futuristic game on the new engine. (Modern Warfare Engine)

the issue back in the day was that this came after black ops 2, ghosts, advanced warfare, and black ops 3, which were all increasingly futuristic (especially the latter two). People were tired of the futuristic setting and the enhanced movement which is why IW got a lot of hate and why it was followed with CoD WW2 Also, the trailer for IW was lackluster, and people were pissed that the CoD4 remaster was locked behind IW

@@Luey_Luey ^big this, the hate didn't come from a vacuum

@@echodelta2172 yep. quite unfortunate though, i did really enjoy the IW campaign

Specialist gang right here. I even tried #Yolo a few time (permadeath mode), dropped after a few fails tho

@@glibchubik4090 same

on point

lmao God TIRE lol

If you like this kinda thing check out the expanse on prime video, its a similar concept but the physics and the time it takes people to travel around the solar system is pretty realistic for the future

@@campbell9825 oh yeah I forgot about that they probably have a new concept of what a "day" is this far into the feture.

There have been major military operations carried out in a few hours in modern history. The Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia, is an example. The difference is that in the future of the game there is warp technology to cover great distances in minutes and remember that the game is based on hit-and-run tactics from beginning to end. Plus, the Retribution crew is made up of dozens of "Leo Major's"...
