Infinite Warfare is a future based Call of Duty game from Infinity Ward that was released on November 4th. It is also a game that I was highly anticipating playing to find out how it will play and what the story was going to be.

Early on in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare , the latest and most futuristic entry in the Call of Duty franchise, players are introduced to the villainous Admiral Salen Kotch (Kit Harrington) of the Mars-based secessionist Settlement Defense Front.

I'll admit, I was skeptical. I've always enjoyed Infinity Ward's games. Sure, some have had better reputations than others, but I never had a bad time with any of them. I started out with Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 in 2009, then played Modern Warfare 3 in 2011, then Ghosts on the Xbox One in 2013.

With Activision finally caving in and releasing Modern Warfare Remastered as a stand-alone game, in this review it's going to be hard not to talk about the

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare does little to really push the series forward in a meaningful way, beyond the addition of space combat. Although well written and acted, its story is still too binary and lacks the subtlety of real-life geopolitical conflict.

It's fair to say that pre-launch, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare hasn't had the best of starts, at least from the perspective from much of the gaming community. Before it was announced, many had hoped that developers Infinity Ward would take us back to the historic themes that the Call of Duty...

Refined FPS gameplay that you come to expect from the series; Introduction of side-missions is a welcomed addition; Space battle dogfights are immensely fun; 80's themed Zombies in Spaceland is its best form in a while; Competitive multiplayer is as always packed with maps and modes at launch

Futuristic setting has perhaps now run its course; Side missions do soon become repetitive; despite starting off enjoyable

In the 21st century, life now has three inevitabilities: death, taxes and an annual instalment of Call of Duty. But Infinite Warfare, 2016's effort, comes with an added layer of controversy: the all-conquering first-person shooter's mighty fan-base took mass offence at its setting - in a future in...

Great weapons and gadgets; satisfying single-player campaign; super-slick and polished; great graphics; available with Modern Warfare Remastered; Zombies in Spaceland agreeably whimsical; multiplayer more intense than ever

Zero-gravity shooting doesn't really work; some gamers won't take to the space-combat

There's no sign that Call of Duty is looking to hand over the crown just yet: Infinite Warfare is an enormous, almost fit to burst package of shooty goodness. The difference this time is that the single player campaign finally switches things up, creating one of the best story modes the series has...

Fun and interesting single player; Multiplayer is consistent; Looks and sounds phenomenal

Story is a little thin; Campaign is brief; too; Multiplayer still needs serious dedication

An awkward mishmash of the innovative and the overly familiar, that in the end represents no clear step forward for the franchise.

The sci-fi setting is used well and there's an interesting array of unusual weapons and gadgets; Zombies is the best it's been in a while

The story campaign is too short and too dull; Multiplayer is overly familiar and ignores most of the campaign's best features; Pay to win element is becoming increasingly worrying

If there is one thing you can be sure of with Call of Duty; it will provoke opinions. Not all of them positive, and for the latest entry, Infinite Warfare, the welcome was anything but warm. The reveal trailer was crowned as the second most disliked video on YouTube ever.
