Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Reviews
All told, Infinite Warfare is a good game. I’m going to keep using the word “solid” to describe it, even though it takes place in outer-space, often above solid ground. It’s formulaic and straightforward, but what it lacks in imagination it makes up for in tight gameplay and gorgeous visuals.
The game’s best moments use the story’s futuristic and space-bound setting to find new dramatic opportunities.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer will likely only appeal to the die-hard Call of Duty fans who would buy it no matter what this review says. For everyone else, it might be worth picking up on sale just to play its single-player campaign.
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 is a somewhat odd addition to the Call of Duty franchise. The online multiplayer does not offer any notable improvements, and the zombie mode is a fun romp but nothing more. On the other hand, the game offers an impressive single player campaign that feels fresh and interesting. If you want a great sci-fi game this is the one to get.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare comprises a trio of game modes that are all very well produced and enjoyable to play through – but largely tread familiar ground in terms of their design. The spectacular-looking, well-written campaign packs strong characters and plenty of over-the-top moments, while Zombies in Spaceland is an enjoyable shoot 'em up romp that's best played with a team. The multiplayer mode is perhaps the game's weakest element. It's slick and polished, but feels a little too much like a remix of Black Ops 3.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is very much like Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate in that it’s a promising show of energy for a series that desperately needs a break. Despite alternating studios and the claim this game took Infinity Ward three years to make, the backbone of this series is tired and needs a considerable rest.
'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare' delivers one of the best campaign stories in the series history
Infinite Warfare lacks the polish and action we love from the COD series. The space theme is great, but the campaign is mundane, and the multiplayer is buggy. The only star this year is the zombie mode.
Infinite Warfare takes the series to its logical conclusion, delivering one of the best single-player campaigns in ages. But the trademark multiplayer modes need a serious overhaul.
Compared to the variety offered by the alternatives this year, I don’t see why either Battlefield 1 or Titanfall 2 won’t scratch the same itch, and then some. This raises a far more worrying question for CoD as an ongoing and risk-averse phenomenon: how long can it afford not to innovate? At some point even the faithful, even those incredible knife-wielding ninjas, will tire of running over the same old ground.
This Legacy Edition package contains the most Call of Duty Activision's ever compiled, but the quality of each individual piece is so all over the map that it's still hard to recommend.
A beautiful action movie that punishes improvisation, with under-populated multiplayer that can’t compete with a nine-year-old game.
Infinite Warfare's multiplayer may lack new ideas, but it's still first-rate, and its stunning sci-fi campaign is Call of Duty's best in years.
If there's ever been a polarising game, then it's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The campaign is a whopping amount of fun, and the addition of space combat is a large part of that. Still, there's a distinct lack of progress in both Zombies (as fun as it can be) and Multiplayer that damages the game's replay value, and then there's the unacceptable implementation of microtransactions. The single player may be stellar, but the multiplayer has come crashing down.
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is the most disappointing multiplayer shooter I’ve played in recent memory because it has too many poorly balanced mechanics and systems to create an enjoyable arcade shooter experience
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.

A great campaign and a wonderful zombies mode can be entertaining for players that don't want the online experience, but the multiplayer mode is a complete chaos and a mixture of previous installments.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has been getting a lot of unnecessary bad rep on the Internet. Even though the story isn’t perfect and the multiplayer is facing some technical issues, I absolutely loved the sci-fi additions, the fun gameplay, the third act of the campaign, and the silly zombie mode. However, it does not bring anything especially innovative to the shooter genre. It’s a good Call of Duty title and that’s about it.

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.
