[@occultatumquaestio5226]

@The Templin Institute; After watching this video, I wonder why the Greater Terran Union already an authoritarian and militarist civilization that values and glorifies wars in high regard has yet to colonize Mars, the so called planet of war. Maybe you should do that for your next Stellaris stream it may even help with the war effort and the you vassalization of the Algans. Plus it would be symbolic as the GTU has finally brought life to the planet once again inspiring the citizens with the tales of old and the reminder of those who fought the Tyrum to lead to the GTU formation.

IW is a perfect representation of the War in the Pacific in WW2. Think about it: crippling a larger fleet in an opening attack, making massive gains, being crippling in one battle, being outcompeted industrially

[@rolfneve]

Except that really shouldn't be the case. The SDF has ships left, there's canonically ships that survived. SATO doesn't. This means all of SATO's shipping should be able to just be blockaded. It's more as if the Japanese pressed a button that deleted 100% of the US fleet at the cost of 80% of their own. All those colonies retribution took over? Taken back. What's SATO going to do about it, they literally have no Navy.

[@ergietalks]

[@rb226r8]

The sad thing is that this world and its story line have died. Personally this has the best story and world since the end of the Modern Warfare series. It felt like a massive step forward for COD. The multipolayer was crap but it is on nearly every COD since its run and gun with zero tactics. But this series on a world and story level had so much potential that will sadly be squandered.

[@SeaGLGaming]

I feel so bad for the writers. They really wanted to set this universe up as a series. I almost want them to let Infinity Ward go and make their own franchise based on the IW universe and have it not be under the CoD label. They can then put Raven Software in so they still have the three year. I just want a movie or a book or something on the IW universe.

[@Pwophet_of_Twuth]

Infinite Warfare honestly inspired me to write a sci fi story that takes strong inspiration from what was in IW. I absolutely love this game to death and it's truly underrated. It has a solid foundation for lore and it truly should be a sub series of CoD games, or it could become it's own series completely cut off from the CoD brand. I truly believe the writers did the best they could given the fact it's still a CoD game and not something like Halo, Killzone, or TitanFall. But imagine what could've been had they been given more time.

[@theliato3809]

It is a shame since they're......you know dead as a star fairing nation after the last attack on their shipyard.

[@theliato3809]

They lost a great deal of ships, flagship, their only known major shipyard in orbit around mars, as well as all those soldiers and officers. All this while the UNSA has been rebuilding with a likely superior industrial capacity and now they cant pull the same trick they tried during fleet weak so if they come knocking on earths door the planetary guns will tear them to shreds.

[@theliato3809]

The UNSA probably did when they first colonized mars. These guys arent too bright in some departments.

[@Ae7herium]

Infinity Ward stated that they wanted Infinite Warfare to be its own sub series. I don't think it'll happen thanks to the negative reaction but i'd really like to see the rest of the series, mostly to see how the narrative expands.

Funny how Cod basically did the Expanse but combined the OPA and martians ito one :D

[@Avera9eWh1teShark6]

It's been done in EVE Online with the Gallente (Earth) and the Caldari (Mars) as well. It's trope heavy yes, but its not bad either, since most Sci-Fi is closer to Star Wars and Star trek than this, it's not Cliche.

[@wint3rki11]

I was thinking the same thing. I heard Expanse is based off of an old novel but I havent found iut the name of it yet.

[@regardlessrampage]

I think Killzone is a much much more analogous franchise. the second war between Vekta and Helghan played out almost exactly like Infinite Warfare.

[@daleludtke7803]

Its a series of Novels under the same name.

[@KrisHandsome]

I honestly like the SDF a lot in terms of design. They do indeed take things way too far in that they want to kinda exterminate all people on Earth and it's colonies, but they started out similar to the OPA in the Expanse: they simply wanted to be treated fairly by the Earth. It kinda makes you think about how the Earth found itself in the situation they're in during the story, and how both sides aren't necessarily the most benevolent. In terms of design, I like their emphasis on efficiency and utilitarianism. Their main small arms system consists of all energy weapons that look similar and likely have similar parts, them having an machine gun, rifle, and shotgun based on the same design, as well as a ballistic submachine gun based on an old earth design. Their vehicles and robots all have a similar look as well following this. Their structures, especially their space elevator and shipyard, look absolutely stunning and fit very well within their common design ethos. Their warships are also quite varied and seem to follow a more intentional approach at fleet composition. Their destroyers are very versatile and have a good mix of anti-ship and anti-fighter weaponry. Their carriers have powerful anti-ship weapons as well allowing them to engage warships and defend themselves while launching fighters. The Olympus Mons combines an extremely powerful main armament capable of destroying most ships and buildings in one shot with good fighter carrying capabilities. Lastly, the Ajax corvettes are great patrol ships which are also able to be used en masse even in atmosphere to defend ships and installations from fighters. It also helps that all their ships look good too.

[@teslashark]

In-game their gun choice is done very lazy, much less distinct than Makarov's faction. They should use more Volksturmgewehrs and projectile guns to have a stronger flavor.

[@ArcturusOTE]

@@teslashark Makarov's faction? You mean Modern Warfare 2 and 3's Inner Circle?

[@sleekm7maverick374]

[@kristiankepley5944]

Kris Handsome agreed. They look cool and seem very plausible. Save their suit design. If UNSA can make more compact suits that function like they do I’m surprised they didn’t take and somewhat improve on that by adding greater element resistant parts to it. But I agree all of them seem like a very plausible thing for a nation that has less manpower to use. The more versatile ships can probably pull above their weight. Likewise their direct energy guns can recharge instead of having to manufacture bullets which can help a lot. Their problem is Idiotic leaders. Kotch was a madman who should have been demoted

Get off the hate wagon. COD Multiplayer has gone to crap, but the Single player campaigns have always been good. They are far more engaging and interesting than the campaigns Battlefield etc put out.

[@regardlessrampage]

I honestly thought Infinite Warfare had the most fun and interesting campaign in the franchise since the first Black Ops. Big Red One was my favorite CoD prior to those two. I would actually buy these games if the campaigns were always so engaging, and if I could stand the multiplayer.

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

SDF did nothing wrong; Mars Aeternum. Glad to see these folks getting some attention. Underrated faction from an underrated game, both of which could have benefited greatly from more worldbuilding.

[@HappyMan0203]

I would love to see a return to the universe of Infinite Warfare, maybe to explore the backstory of the SDF and see how they rose to become such a powerful force. Unfortunately, we'll likely never get that, thanks to its reception at the time.

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

ThatOneKid0203 Yeah, it's a real shame; the universe has a lot of potential. Would've gotten a lot less hate were it under another franchise or IP, after all, the only real connection it has to any other cod other than a few Easter eggs is its name. One idea that I thought would be interesting for a sequel would be that Reyes is recovered half-dead over Mars and is brainwashed into becoming part of the SDF. Missions would revolve around killing his former allies until he realizes what's up and snaps out of it. Give us some mind fuckery; kinda like something similar to the original black ops.

Thank you.I felt in early stages of a celestial human civilisation. Earth and the moon would be the center of "establishment" poltics like my preferred future ideology,Tecnholiberalism. Or what ever is the ideology equivalently dommaint. Venus and Mars are more "populist" but still on good terms with Earth and won't seceed unless their is World War whatever. And the Gas Giant's being hubs of "hostile" beliefs which in my case would be racial-based Facism,Marxist divirvied systems and theoarcies of various sects. With Mercury and the Kupiler belt being Earth and Gas giant backed colonists fighting each other, research bases and military installations.

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

I personally favor every planet or moon having a few factions based on it representing different things. The Empire of Hellenia on Mars, The Socialist Union of North America on Earth, The Commonwealth of Tharsis on Mars, Jacksport on Europa, The New Roman Empire on Earth, The Federation of Feldoun on Venus, The Pact of Iron and the Pact of Gold competing for the asteroid belt, Etc.

[@Marylandbrony]

Well if were to give some criticisms of your factions and i'm hope you open to them 1: The Empire of Hellenia. Aka Sparta/Athens in Space. Presumably Sparta has they always been warriors, Despite Athens being much more imperial ambitions in it's peak, but i'm getting off track. It's weird that classical Greek influence tends to show up in Space empires. Despite many would have many more concerns other than fighting wars with each other especially in it's early phase, than survival. Maybe if you treat it as a beacon for Mars's scientists and intellectuals wanting to study the planet and perverse it than settle it into Earth 2.0 or mine it's resources. Than Mars being the center of the most militarized civilization is both cliche and kind of ridiculous 2: The Socialist Union of North America on Earth, What the F***. For one thing it's doubtful socialism will survive a post-industrial/colonial base economy. Where North America, Home of two the most capital rich countries. The US and Canada. Along with a possibility industrialized Mexico that projected by some will be overall wealthier than Russia or Japan in 2050. Not to mention the lack of support Socialism has in past and present in the region outside of a few regional enclaves like Quebec,Oaxaca and New England.Even if some groups are growing. They seek reform in the system, not revolution. North America is generally hostile to generally collectivist-based ideologies and prefer individualism. East Asia is more like to have a pan-socialist union of some kind. Due to presence of China. 3: Commonwealth of Tharsis, Commonwealth implies a Anglo-American/British heritage. Maybe a country set up by refugees from North America and Europe by political upheavals and is a bastion of liberalism. 4: Jacksport :Not sure what it is. 5: The New Roman Empire on Earth. Behold the greatest dumb cliche in Science Fiction. The Roman Emprie in *Space* . I have not real ideal how the Roman Empire would be revived. The idea of a Roman Empire as a state has been discredited for centuries. It would require uniting Dozens if not hundreds of different ethnic,linguistic and religious groups, many by force. Would require the conquests of much Europe,The Middle East and North Africa. Home to very advance militates and economies and even if would be successful. It would require extensive rebuilding on the scale of the Marshal Plan. But this time most of the world might be openly hostile to you and in long term how would the country project power into space if all of the emperors keep getting assassinated, Generals starting civil wars and all of that jazz. That must do wonders for stability. 5: The Federation of Feldoun. Sounds vaguely east Asian.Good news is you mentioned East Asia in a non-negative light, Bad news is their are no federal systems in East Asia. Discounting Indonesia. 6: Why are two "Pacts" fighting over the asteroid belt. Wouldn't it be better if they were Megacorpartions. Rather than two ambiguous alliances with members i'm not sure about. 7: Let's See, No Latin America, Africa, Eastern European (Maybe), Middle Eastern, Indian or Southeast Asian nations/regions mentioned.

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

1. I was thinking about the region called the Hellenic depression on mars. 2. I wanted something with the initials SUNA, and I found one that works. Was picturing a rapidly collapsing pseudo-government set up by rebels after the collapse of a space America. Like: French Revolution style everything is on fire, then tyranny. 3. I like that idea. 4. Some rich guy settled people on the planet: eventually it became a major trading hub, and neutral ground for other powers on the moon. 5. I’m picturing a religious fascistic state that keeps people under the emperor’s control with propaganda, drugs and mind control. 5. I just jumbled some letters together and thought it sounded good. 6. No idea. Throwing shit at the wall. I find megacorps boring. I’m picturing something like Warsaw vs NATO in the Cold War. 7. I drew a map that has New Rome extending from west Mediterranean to North Aftrica to Brazil, and the rest in vaguely similar shapes under a coalition against Rome that includes the rest of Africa and either China or India or both (unlikely). I need to develop that more.

Despite having a lot of cliches and a fairly poor villian, this was easily the best Call of Duty campaign since Modern Warfare 1 & 2, in my opinion. Advanced Warfare was alright, but not great and I never really cared for the black ops or ghosts stuff. For Infinite Warfare though, the team of main protagonists were all pretty well fleshed out and even though the campaign was somewhat non-linear, it didn't take away from the overall story. I kinda would have liked a more definitive conclusion (Having both sides lose their entire fleets and then casually mentioning that Earth just kinda ended up winning the war is a little lame), but, hey, fuck those Martians, they should have never picked a fight with "Earf", lol

Freedom for Mars ! But seriously, I don't know why this game got so much hate. It had an interesting story.

[@Irfan87]

Cos it became cool to hate on COD. I admit, their Multiplayer has gone down the drain. But their Single player campaigns were always good.

[@Galvars]

Mars Aeternum!

[@PaladinGuy]

Noah Caldwell Gervais pointed out that this game was very similar in tone to Space: Above and Beyond, so I instantly became way more interested in playing it.

Who’s going to feast on Earth’s sky and drink their river’s dry? The SDF! Who’s going to stomp their mountains into fine Martian dust? The SDF! Until the rain falls hard on Olympus Mons, who are we?

[@DycuswasHere]

Probably the most interesting CoD I’ve ever seen. Might give it a shot someday if it’s on PC

[@Avera9eWh1teShark6]

It is. Its CoD it's always been on PC since 2003.

[@benefistben7844]

It is, but fair warning the mp is dead on pc, so only buy it if its on sale

[@ilikecheetos912]

It is very realistic if what may happen in humanities future

[@farhanrizkiahnafa7404]

So, the SDF is basically the Infinite Warfare's equivalent of Thirteen Colonies.

[@josh_Car]

And the entire lore is just a futuristic version of the 1900s

[@Danilio.]

​@@josh_Car Interesting, I never thought about it that way.

[@octaviusfooks7194]

The SDF - the Terran Federation of CoD (Blake’s 7)

[@rabiddojo1016]

Hell no you aren’t I loved it especially the fighter pilot missions

[@unofficial_ai]

Pretty much the only CoD that I like, along with Ghosts

[@dr.ludwig8189]

I don't know if it's common for the Templin Institute to speculate, but the ending of this video is wrong. The SDF did not capitulate, their offensive capability has been crippled (As was the UNSA's alongside their defensive too). It's likely both sides will take years to rearm and repair the damage the war has caused, but due to SetDef's nature, they will still be locked in Infinite Warfare.

[@Spartan3D213]

Humanity is locked in infinite warefare

[@phill2065]

Another settlement needs your help

[@TheJarric]

inquasision from monthy python, hard corps from valiant , sabbath from vampire and evil inc

[@insidious7329]

Suggestion : Forrunners ( halo ) or the SCP foundation

[@hanjizoe2648]

Finally somebody explored a universe of Call of Duty that I actually decently like!

[@mojowwwav4357]

Basically the koslovics and Frieden insurrectionists movements in Halo lore.....

[@calschnatz5694]

I love all of your videos. Very professional and they are full of useful information. I would love to see your take on Moonbase Alpha from Space: 1999

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

MARS AETERNUM!!!!!

[@mateocabaguio4444]

This is basically Mobile Suit Gundam in Call of Duty

[@harveydarvey4585]

The COD ip was really what held this game back from succeeding. Just imagine if Infinity Ward had more than three years to develop the game.

[@rarrar9257]

The Singleplayer Campaign was interesting, I personally liked it, but it's world is very wacky.

[@TheMarrrk]

Sounds like the helgast from killzone

[@AleksandrPodyachev]

Killzone just called, they want their villans back!

[@richardcrosby6682]

You need to do a video on the Principality of Zeon.

[@itzdcx]

Man this game really does reflect the real world I hope something like this doesn't happened

[@alessiomelita6720]

They are very similar to the Helgast Empire in Killzone

[@wolfwarlordjake8992]

If you're on the subject of Martian-based governments, please do the Red Faction and/or Earth Defense Force from Red Faction: Guerilla.

[@Chaoticlly]

Best CoD lore.
