Giving players the ability to select missions they’d like to take their crew on, around the solar system, both in space and on-planet adds a refreshing change of pace to the campaign. Side missions are a new introduction to Call of Duty.
Infinity Ward really tries hard to give a full and deep story, and that really pays off. There’s no sly “Oh he’s/she’s secretly been working for the enemy faction all along!” cliché, which would’ve been so easy to slip in. No spoilers here, but it’s safe to say there are no cheap plot-twists in Infinite Warfare. Pretty much exactly half-way through the game, something will happen that strengthens your bond forever. Ethan is cheeky yet reliable, and you’ll go through an emotional journey with him. His witty commentary and charming artificial yet almost-lifelike personality give him a level of depth not possible with our canine companion of yore. Ethan will soon become a fan-favourite, there’s absolutely no doubt about that. Not so different from modern American politics, then.Įarly in the game you’re introduced to your robot companion, Ethan – or Robot Riley, if you will. What you will experience is an emotional tale set in a futuristic sci-fi environment, not dissimilar to Babylon 5 or Star Trek, where the Earth is in peril from the attempts of colonisation by a dictatorial, narcissistic psychopath. There are no flashback to WWI, no yelling about arbitrary numbers (did we ever find out what those numbers meant?!) and you’ll not see a single zombie in the campaign of IW. If you preferred the Hollywood-esque storylines of Ghosts and Advanced Warfare to the bat-shit crazy what-drugs-are-they-on plots of Black Ops, you’re probably going to enjoy Infinite Warfare. The acting throughout reflects that, with a stellar yet chilling performance from Jon Snow in Space.Ī great cast and brilliant acting is no good without a solid plot though, and it’s easy to be cynical when you think of Infinite Warfare as COD IN SPACE, but Infinity Ward have pulled out all the stops with the storyline this year. With a line-up including Claudia Black, David Harewood, and of course, Kit Harrington, it goes without saying that the cast is fantastic. The question, however, is can Infinity Ward live up to the high expectations set by their former selves, following a lacklustre reception to Ghosts and Advanced Warfare, after the departure of the majority of the studio, including its founders? That is that multi-billion dollar question… In fact the only games able to outsell Call of Duty are Rockstar’s GTA titles, and they’re few and far between in comparison. They are the original Kings of AAA video games, or at least they were, until the studio shake-up that we won’t go into.
