As it stands, Infinite Warfare is a mixed affair. The single-player is entertaining enough to keep well worn gameplay mechanics from getting stale, while the multiplayer and monetisation model are glaring points of concern.

If you’re not much of a multiplayer gamer and you are only in it for the zombies and campaign, I can wholeheartedly and emphatically recommend you pick up Infinite Warfare. But if you’re only interested in CoD multiplayer, like many fans of the franchise are, you might want to take your military leave right about now.

With an amazing space campaign and a frenetic Zombies mode, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is worth the fuel needed to reach orbit.

'Infinite Warfare's campaign is can't-miss for any sci-fi warrior, while 'Zombies in Spaceland' is a sweet surprise like late night cable from yesteryear. Nabbing the whole package, including one of the biggest multiplayer draws in gaming, along with a newly spritzed last-gen classic is like a wish list approach for me.

Infinite Warfare is a good game but it had the potential to be a great game. The campaign is better than the previous installment in the series but obviously, they didn’t use the game’s Antagonist potential and you may forget it very soon. Multiplayer is fine but it doesn’t have revolutionary changes, also there is no spaceship battle in multiplayer. Infinite Warfare is an enjoyable game but Don't expect a masterpiece.

Taking Call of Duty beyond Earth and into space has proven to be a canvas of some of the very best storytelling in the history of the franchise. Infinite Warfare may have received a lot of hate when it was initially revealed, but this is easily one of my favourite entries in the franchise to date.

As a whole package, all the praise should be going toward the single player experience, and I'd never thought I'd say that about a Call of Duty game in a long time. But in all honestly, it’s true. As for the multiplayer, it makes for an incredibly mundane and subpar experience that almost parodies itself. Completely making it very difficult to recommend the game as a whole.

The solid story mode and the welcome modifications to the zombie mode saved the game from falling apart. Despite the great variety of characters in multiplayer mode, It still has many and big flaws that prevents its from being an entertaining experience. If you usually buy Call of Duty for the story, then don’t hesitate to buy this one. Otherwise there are better options in the meantime.

At the very least, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is a much better effort from Infinity Ward when compared to Ghosts. Though the campaign hits all of the familiar beats, it still has a nice flow, and characters are likeable, if predictable. Zombies mode provides so many improvements to the formula that it can't be missed, while the multiplayer mode changes don't make it much different from what we saw a year ago. Despite the understandable fatigue players may feel toward the series by now, Infinite Warfare remains a solid offering in a season with multiple first-person shooter games hitting store shelves at the same time.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is not the abomination haters would want it to be but it is clear that the franchise is going through an identity crisis. Under its bizarre sci-fi concept, the campaign still has some of the core elements you would expect from the single player mode, but the overly convoluted structure of the multiplayer, chaotic rhythm, the flashy presentation of Zombies in Spaceland and a few technical hiccups will make you hesitate when calling this a Call of Duty game.

Infinite Warfare is very much the same slick, expensive looking/sounding, finely honed product that crops up every year, regular as clockwork. No surprises there, really. Maybe it's the COD fatigue talking, but the multiplayer just feels a bit regressive, all told, and the 'pay to win' aspect does a great job of killing any residual enthusiasm to persist with it. In direct contrast, the campaign is the real surprise here, as Infinity Ward has exceeded all expectations and delivered an action-packed sci-fi epic that elevates itself from the usual 'military contractor gone rogue' narrative that the series is known for. Zombie lover? The Hoff is in it... 'Nuff said.

My time with Infinite Warfare was a mix of pure adrenaline goodness coupled with some frustrations. Activision has delivered a solid shooter, but doesn't add much to the genre. Infinite Warfare is not something I'll be playing often, but the Zombie mode is another story entirely.

The rise of new properties, like Titanfall and Overwatch , combined with resurgent properties, like Destiny or Battlefield, make it hard to justify the shrinking number of new ideas Call of Duty. Those who purchased Infinite Warfare on day one may not relate to anything in this article. But those with less fondness for the franchise, or just expecting IW to at least match the quality of Advanced Warfare or Black Ops 3, should probably turn their attention elsewhere.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is beyond odd. Two-third of the experience is pretty good, the remaining one-third leaves much left to be desired. The next Call of Duty should focus more on adding gameplay onto the multiplayer, in my opinion.

Infinite Warfare has a great campaign and a fun zombie mode. The multiplayer is solid, but it feels like it was lifted straight out of Black Ops III and given a new coat of paint. Fans of the franchise will find more of the same to love here but multiplayer fans looking for new flavor may look to the series' competitors this year.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare liefert bis auf einen schlecht eingesetzten Kit Harrington eine gelungene Kampagne und einen soliden Multiplayer mit 80er Jahre Zombie-Action als Extra. Die Vermarktung der Legacy Edition war absolut schlecht gewählt und verleiht leider dem Gesampaket einen bitteren Nachgeschmack, trotz einem wirklich gut gemachten Remaster von Modern Warfare. Call of Duty Veteranen werden wohl zur Legacy Edition greifen müssen, wenn sie den Titel wieder im Multiplayer spielen wollen. Für den Rest raten wir eher zur Standard Edition zurückzugreifen.

Gamers on a budget can pick up the base game for Infinite Warfare at a reduced cost, however Modern Warfare Remastered is not included. Infinite Warfare is far from groundbreaking, however it's unequivocally a marked improvement from prior games. There's certainly more than enough content, it's just a matter of how familiar it feels to you.

A solid entry into the CoD franchise, a bit different (in a good way) than the previous CoD games like AW and Black Ops 3. Worth getting for the spectacle, pretty epic campaign and has a new take on zombies.

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is a decent game. The campaign is very good. That being said, t’s the weakest first person shooting game of this year.

At its worst, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is mediocre, and was quite often enjoyable during my time to play, but ultimately fails to fulfill the potential of a truly original Call of Duty title.
