- In Call of Infinite Warfare, you play as the famous Game O. Thronesman on a galaxy hopping adventure where you will fight aliens, make friends, and maybe even learn a little something about yourself.

Infinite warfare's campaign is like a combination of loads of goofy sci fi TV and movie tropes done in the correct way, vanguard's campaign is like the family guy parody of the worst ww2 films to ever exist
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.

Finally, more people are seeing what I was enlightened to years ago. Infinite Warfare was actually GOOD.
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
@@dastemplar9681 infinity ward is good at making campaigns from what I've seen
It's really sad because in one Modern Warfare 2019 interview the devs said they would really like to make an Infinite Warfare 2 because it was a lot of fun and allowed the team to be creative but with the other cod teams struggling I doubt we'll get nothing but modern warfare reboots :/

omfg i want an Infinite Warfare 2 on the MW2019 engine SO BAD
The campaign for this game is legit good if you don't try to rush through it. Take your time to do all the unique side missions and it becomes a pretty rounded experience with a fine but fun story. Some people say there was too much Jackal but I didn't mind because they're so much fun to use imo. This game is in my top 3 for fav campaigns
The multi-player, however, was abysmal.
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.
It’s such a good game. Likable characters you connect with, thrilling levels, awesome map design, fantastic storytelling… loved IW. Never played the multiplayer 😂
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
I always love the Infinite warfare campaign. Not sure why everyone hated it and Advanced warfare.
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
I really enjoyed the extra difficulty mode they added, I think it was called realism or specialist mode or something like that. You had less health, no regen, would take limb damage which could cripple you, and you needed a helmet to protect your head because you could be instakilled by a headshot. It’s something so different for a COD campaign and I wished it was added to more campaigns in the series
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
Just imagine they would have ditched the multiplayer and zombie mode and focused solely on the campaign. We could have had a brilliant singleplayer fps about retaking the solar system from the sdf, choosing our own missions, every planet and moon being visited on foot or by jackal and so on. Could have been so damn great.
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've been playing through a bunch of CoDs this year and was shocked how good Infinite Warfare was. Definitely a shamed it bombed, it was the most innovative CoD since Black Ops II.
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
I honestly kind of miss this weird and experimental era of Cod from 2014 to 2016.
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
I really liked the campaign from Infinite Warfare. Last CoD campaign I actually enjoyed and had fun playing.
Can't say the same for the multiplayer though. And Titanfall 2 did give IW stiff competition.
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

The multiplayer was just reskinned Black Ops 3
This is legitimately the only COD game I've had any interest in.
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?
I never got the hate for this game. The trailer looked awesome even at the time. You got from an ace combat dog fight in space to boarding an enemy battleship by blasting open the command deck from the outside and then blowing the whole thing up. And the story is basically Mobile Suit Gundam. What's not to love?
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.
This is exactly why I wished more people gave this game a chance on their own instead of listening to the hate. Everyone just hated this game because of the setting and objectivity was completely thrown out the window. I’ve been playing COD since 2008 and this was the first campaign to make me cry.
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.
I hate when I have to tell people this, but that extra difficulty that unlocks after Veteran is the real game. Specialist isn't just harder - in fact it's built around Regular. Instead it introduces a medical system with five injury types that cause different debuffs depending on where you get hit and destructible ballistic visors to protect you from headshots and suffocation. Health regeneration is now gone, so you'll need stims on every mission. I hate to say it... but you have to play this again
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
Brian Bloom being both the writer, and in charge of main design ideas, was the best choice they could've made. He understands what makes something fun, and what makes something emotional.
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.)
Thank god someone said it. The campaign was awesome. The fighter jet missions, the zero gravity, and that awesome mission on the mining asteroid near mercury.
This is legit my favorite CoD, barnone. I read some articles where IW said they had big plans for a possible Infinite Warfare franchise, but they ditched those plans. I will always be sad that we'll never get a sequel to this game.
Campaign was amazing and genuinely heart wrenching by the end, walked away with the idea that the message they wanted to say was that no matter how hard you try you can’t save everyone, and thought that was surprisingly deep for a COD game
thought the multiplayer was really bland and the movement speed was way too slow for what they were doing with the wall running stuff
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
finally someone recognizing the campaign is SO DAMN GOOD
"Keep them in the red circle"
oboeshoesgames lore so deep
I'll never understand why this game had so much hate.....BY FAR THE BEST COD EVER
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?
1:17 While it's just a tiny detail, the plates getting shot and broken was a really nice touch.
The trailer was awesome and the game too, they managed to make a really good sci-fi game without exaggerated futuristic stuff.
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
Damn right. It’s still in one of my top three titles, as the sum of its ambitious campaign, it’s fun-over-seriousness zombies, and the multiplayer which constantly had goals to work towards and had some of the most creative guns in franchise history.
I legit loved this campaign. If it wasn't labeled with COD it would have done real well.
Why ?
@@hussien04 well, it still did good. But it caught alot of backlash for being to sci fi and like Halo at the time.
Honestly just knowing that you could go on different planets in the solar system made me hyped for the game
While I have a lot of problems with the “lore” aspects in some sorts (one of the only times I give a shot for lore) especially with what I heard the timeline was here and how long the conflict actually was, I actually really like this campaign it’s one of my favorite.
Why the hell did they get rid of the firing range to test weapons and attachments? Like what even. And the HQ - sure, it was just a way to show off people opening loot crates - but it was one hell of a lot better than "repeat dynamic walk down straight line" menu they've been doing 3 years straight now. It's just releasing with even less and less content now
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...
The hatred for this game primarily came from the way that Modern Warfare Remastered was tied to Infinite Warfares 100$ edition I believe. The campaign itself is probably one of the best for cod
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 said it when it got released. People only hated it because was call if duty and futuristic
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
I'm so glad I gave this game a shot when it came out.
I was one of the 3'000'000 who hated the reveal trailer; but holy shit I was wrong. I fell in love with it.
I remember watching someone stream this game and everyone was surprised that the campaign was actually pretty good.
This game is seriously really fun, top 5 cod campaigns imo. I've been learning the speedruns for most cod campaigns over the past year or so, and this one probably surprised me the most with how much fun it was, followed next by advanced warfare.
But seriously the space combat is actually amazing, and when you unlock the gold volk, can't describe how much fun it is using that thing.
And yes I was one of those people who disliked the trailer back in 2016, I didn't even know why, I just did it because everyone else did, and it seemed funny.
In a future with grenades that alter gravity, we still use elevators.
This game was the Halo prequel I never knew I wanted.
This was one of my favorite cods. Yall should've given it a chance
God tire campaign
lmao God TIRE lol
I legitimately love the Infinite Warfare campaign its just so goofy and fun
Infinite warfare is my favourite COD game, I always liked it how we entered the Moon base and the final assualt on Mars. Peace to the fallen
Infinite Warfare zombies is also an underrated gem, (at least zombies in spaceland) and I’m saying that as a Treyarch zombies fanboy. You should really try it out since it has a ton of cool features like rideable rollercoasters, arcade machines and all sorts of wacky stuff. You’ve also got 80’s hits blasting in the background. It’s the only on disc map so it’s definit worth a try
on point
People subconsciously didnt like this game because it was popular to not like futuristic games after bo3
This campaign is one of my absolute favorites!! So glad people are coming around
This guys deserves SO MANY more subscribers. Under-appreciated UA-camr is an understatement
I think people thought it went too far into the future, also Battlefield 1 was coming out.
Yes, I played the difficulty after veteran.

I remember someone saying that COD tried something new with infinite warfare, but fans were mad for and correct me if I'm wrong, trying new ideas.
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
ngl this game was one of my favorites of the games I've played and I've played so fucking many of them
A COD campaing where you can... (wait for it) ...actually have a calm downtime after each mission.
One of my all time favorite CODs
I don’t play cod but watching people complain about cod being stale and then hating when cod changes things up is very funny to me
I have only ever played two CoD games.
Modern Warfare, and Infinite Warfare.
Of course Infinite Warfare doesn't live up to the greatest CoD ever, but I loved the space sections and the campaign is far more creative than just about any other shooter in recent history, not Titanfall good, but it's up there.
Just finished playing the campaign after 6 years. This game is actually really good, it didn't deserve any of the hate it got
The multiplayer dlc trailers are so badass btw. Underrated gem.
ethan best boy
I actually like infininite warfare. I guess people are spoil for choices.
Literally every main and side character had depth, development and was very likable! When most of them died, I was really sad. I fucking cried at the end when you can listen to their goodbye tapes during the credits!
i loved the campaign! it was super entertaining and gripping, and certain parts even made me tear up.
I really loved the campaign. The game was so fun
Personally Iw is in my top ten cod games
"I want an Expanse video game."
"We have an Expanse video game at home."
*The Expanse video game at home.*
The algorithm failed me. How the hell did I only discover your channel this week. Absolute gold, you madman genius you. Bravo 👏
The only thing I didn't like about the campaign is that the entire thing takes place *in One Day* from start to end, e en if you do all missions and that kinda of took me out of it at the end. You feel like you've fought a war across the solar system slowly taking out the leadership and dangerous people, as one of the few ships left defending Earth, you almost die being spaced, recover, and do many jumps through space and massive battles, finally do the final fight and its just, it's been a day since first surprise attack, don't know why they decided to make the timeline so short
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"...
I loved the sci-fi, cyberpunk-ish world of these CoD’s way more than the modern or older history versions. I know people hated the wall running but it felt like Titanfall
I think people were just fed up with futuristic games by the time it came out. I did enjoy it a lot.
The dead speak! always gets a chuckle. But this time I laughed out loud because for once I wasn't expecting it.
The campaign was certainly underrated, even if the plot was paper thin and predictable and the villains just plain made no sense. It made up for it through sci-fi fun and amazing aesthetics. Also, Ethan. Best robot buddy.
This is one of the few cod campaigns that I occasionally come back to and still play to completion. Few COD games make me do that, the last ones were the MW series, MW2019, Black Ops 1-2, and World at War.
This was SO great to see. This was the first ever cod game I got. Back in 2017 I put it away and didn’t start playing it again until now. I think it’s a really good game aside from a few multiplayer problems.
6:20 Fun fact, this is a prop that's been there since MW3 2011
I always agreed. Fun and cheesy campaign, one of my favs from the more modern ones. Multiplayer sucked ass, but I enjoyed the campaign start to finish.
I remember my friend telling me how good IW's campaign was at launch, I didn't believe him and stop playing the game after a few days because I hated the multiplayer and zombies but in hindsight, I should have given this a chance.
The keep him in the red circle joke was such a good reference.
Better then Vanguard lol
Great gameplay with amazing story potential. I’d say the villains ruined the story for me, they felt too much like ‘I’m the bad guy’. I think the Martians could be rewritten as sort of ‘pseudo heroes’ fighting for independence only and Earth are the true aggressors. Like, in the first scene the Martian admiral could instead say he also cares about his men and spares the Earth troops. The Expanse did a really good job at a Mars - Earth conflict and Templin Institute has a great video detailing the problems of the lore. Either way, RIP E3N, one of my favourite CoD characters ever
"stop being a safe worker, just kill me"
Damn
The flying segment things got me into Ace Combat ironically, lol.
No COD in the history hooked me as much. I play games for the PvE content, and this game had a great campaign, zombies, and bots multiplayer.
I play every cod campaign when i get the game and i was so surprised how good that campaign was in such an empty game
These are so good subscribed
This convinced me to replay infinite warfare for the 8th time. Its my fav cod and the type 2 is the best gun
I honestly enjoyed the game
Love the campaign for being unique because...
[SPOILER ALERT]
...everyone dies. (Most of) your teammates, your enemies, your nemesis, your admiral, and even yourself. It was certainly not a happy ending and a big uncertainty waits ahead. Correct me if I'm wrong but I could not recall any other CoD titles with such an unique ending
They just thought that mandatory gun possession was a badguy trait, huh?
there is no sound on space, but within the atmosphere of a planet there is
With all the Star Wars references I can’t believe you didn’t make a rogue one reference for the ending 😂😂
Can't imagine why anyone hated on this game. It's just good. I enjoyed it as much or more than any other cod campaign
Terrible ending, your eyes didn't blew out of their sockets just like in Total Recall
just lettin you know that was a pretty good thumbnail, hope you've been well man! Happy Thanksgiving, see you around the streams
I really enjoyed using the weapons of COD:IW...as a mod for XCOM2.
I like that you still sometime put reference to your Ace Combat videos lol
I continue to maintain that Infinite Warfare is the last truly good Call of Duty they made, it was the high point and everything after that was downhill from there.
At this point i just watch Oboe to see when he’ll say “the dead speak!”
This game deserve another sequel right now !
Honestly this is literally like the Black Ops 4 campaign we wanted but never got
U can't hear in space because sound can't travel through a vacuum. They were fighting on Titan which has an atmosphere so they would be able to hear the gunshots.
Campaign is pretty good, didn’t care much for the MP, but played the hell out of it.
Finally everyone’s coming around to it, I loved this game in middle school and I never understood why it was so hated.
