Ahh, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. The game that pissed off the veterans of the Call of Duty franchise and the game people used to buy to get Modern Warfare Remastered.

Where do I start with this game? To put it simply, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare takes Call of Duty I Advanced Warfare and Call of Duty Black Ops III and says "Hey let's combine this and throw players into space". This didn't satisfy most people since a lot of players wanted to go back to some old-school Call of Duty instead of this futuristic stuff with loot boxes filled with duplicates and nothingness and weird futuristic weapons.

Let's start thing off by saying this. I did enjoy this game but I also hated it. To understand why, I'm going to tackle 3 things. The campaign, the zombies gamemode and multiplayer.

Starting off with the campaign. It's absolutely amazing and I really would consider it one of the Top 5 Call of Duty campaigns. To not spoil anything, I'll let you all experience it for yourselves (if you seriously are planning to buy this in 2021 for some reason) but just know that the campaign is something that will definitely not disappoint you.

Zombies was unique. The fun twist of this gamemode did work towards the favor of this game, taking you away from space and putting you in an (for an example) amusement park. Instead of dogs hunting you after a couple of rounds, how about some scary ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clowns? That's sure to trigger some peoples phobia! Not only that but the humoristic take on the characters you play as adds to the fun of this gamemode.

Now for multiplayer, I actually despise it. While yes, some concepts like a team system with different contracts and upgrading normal weapons to newer improved weapons with skins seemed alright but what ruins multiplayer for me personally is everything else. The skins are stupid and gives certain bonuses you should have as perks in your loadout. But the stupidest thing about skins is one of the anointments for some skins which gives you the nuke ability. Seriously? Pay to get a skin with a nuke killstreak possibly? ♥♥♥♥ no. It sucks. And don't get me started on the locked original weapons you can easily replace with the current weapons you can already use.

To conclude everything, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare has a fantastic campaign and zombies gamemode but the multiplayer is atrocious. Buy this game to play everything BUT the multiplayer. Quite ironic since most Call of Duty games are bought for the multiplayer specifically...

personally I loved the multiplayer, I thought it was the most polished exo multiplayer other than some of the busted weapon variants, although tbf that may just be nostalgia goggles since I haven't played it since it's launch year

Sure, this multiplayer takes skill but guess what? So does every CoD multiplayer, ever. And this one really isn't all too different from the other futuristic CoD games like Black Ops III or even Advanced Warfare for that matter. So please, if you think my main point about the multiplayer was that I didn't enjoy it due to the skill ceiling, you're horribly mistaken.

It's not about a skill factor. It's about having generally, fun. I didn't enjoy multiplayer in Infinite Warfare due to "a skill ceiling" and if you generally believe that's what I meant in this review, please re read this part.

I cant agree. The multiplayer is the multiplayer which takes most skill of all cods. People hate cods that take skill
