Their leader comes in the form of Kit Harrington (of Jon Snow fame), and like anything he does, including his comedic work, he’s…sufficient. You’ll move outside of the scope of the Earth into the final frontier of space, and slam into a near re-telling of your favorite Gundam story, with a faction beyond Earth that strays too far from the planet’s principles, and becomes a non-nuanced “bad guy” (they’re red so you know they’re bad!). Yep, Infinite tackles the concept of the fall of man with a galactic-scale conflict that escalates quickly, but signifies little by the time the credits roll.
You can probably tell where this is going.
Whereas Battlefield 1 went back to basics this year and soared, Call of Duty attempts to push the envelope even more with its bombastic Hollywood approach to sci-fi. I don’t see Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare winning anyone over with its far-future tech and space battles, but it’s a step up from Ghosts for sure.Ĭall of Duty: Infinite Warfare (PC, PS4, Xbox One) Hell, people were even angry at World at War redoing the whole World War II shtick, and it hit critical mass with Infinity Ward’s Ghosts, which was arguably the worst Call of Duty yet. To avoid the stampede of rote “why is like Hogwarts or Westeros” think-pieces, people shut down and revolt against the mere idea of something - hence, the mass dislikes of the inaugural trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.Ĭall of Duty 4 planted that seed, and annual iterations allowed that rancor to bloom. When something hits that zeitgeist nerve, it creates an “us versus them” mentality where participants who haven’t even experienced something take sides. Infinity Ward is fairly finite these days
