Call of Duty’s Infinite Warfare was overlooked by fans due to its futuristic setting and advanced weaponry. Despite its unique campaign, which some consider a masterpiece, the game received backlash and was overshadowed by other entries in the franchise.
On November 5th, a Twitter user expressed their disappointment that fans continued to support inferior Call of Duty games like Vanguard and the current Modern Warfare, instead of giving Infinite Warfare a chance. The game’s initial trailer faced criticism, leading to disabled comments and dislikes on YouTube.
Many players, including myself, were skeptical of the shift from the traditional Call of Duty campaign to a futuristic space setting. This divergence from the series’ roots caused many to dismiss Infinite Warfare without even trying it.
Comparing Infinite Warfare to other Call of Duty games, it is evident that fans primarily enjoyed the campaign. The multiplayer was average, similar to previous installments, but the game’s space setting turned off many players from the start. There is a clear divide between those who consider Infinite Warfare a masterpiece and those who label it as part of the “worst era of Call of Duty.”
Since its release in 2016, Infinite Warfare has been a topic of debate on Reddit. Some users believe that many players simply joined the hate bandwagon and missed out on a great game. They describe those who dismissed Infinite Warfare as “sheep.” Others argue that the game suffered from unfortunate timing, as it was released alongside Battlefield 1, which highlighted the appeal of classic FPS gameplay.
As we anticipate the release of Modern Warfare III, with some fans expressing disappointment in the campaign, it is fitting to reflect on our favorite Call of Duty games. Perhaps it is time for the series to revisit the space and jetpacks concept that made Infinite Warfare unique.
