That would be a really good idea. Considering the SDF completely destroyed Earth's navy and defense systems save for around three ships, it would make sense to have an ending where the SDF wins if you don't do any of the side missions because they still have an infrastructure to fight back with. If you do complete all the side missions then the UNSA wins because you evened the playing field and now the SDF's entire fleet was completely devastated from the strike operations you took part in. It would make for a more dynamic campaign and give people a reason to try 100%ing it.

I feel like they could’ve gone for a World at War or Dead Space vibe with a desolate space ship where the zombie virus was a chemical weapon from another planet the SDF was planning to use on Earth but it spread throughout the rest of the ship.

[@TheGloriousGamer]

Yeah, the zombies was TOO GOOFY. Like even the mechanics of shooting zombies and the way they die when you shoot them feels so artificial and flat. It always bothered me and it got hard to get used to it. It felt like you were shooting cartoon characters with no weight to them. I think part of that was the hit marker sound too. I played it a good amount but it always felt off. That being said, i forgot how fun, fast paced and satisfying the multiplayer is. I think this is the most underappreciated COD ever. Underneath the Sci fi setting, the game just looks and feels so satisfying, it's hard to describe. And yet It STILL feels like a COD game at its core. Even more so than the new ones. The overall art design and concepts behind all of its content is kind of remarkable tbh. This game has a lot more heart and soul to it than people realize.

[@krustykrabpizza4328]

Infinite still has the best zombies experience overall out of all the CoD games. It's just the shit. The attention paid to what 3arc zombies fans had been asking for for years and mix it with a story that's not serious at all in contrast to all the super serious stories with goofy premises from 3arc. (blow up the moon) not to mention the QoL stuff like being able to replay the levels with everything unlocked when you finish Easter eggs as a "directors cut" mode among other things. Could've been more serious, but I doubt it would've succeeded anymore in that era where everyone wasn't ffing with CoD games not released out of 3arc studios (and the enormous amount of negative reception coming from all the mtx stuff being announced)

Agreed IW zombies was just to cartoonish for my liking, plus I never really understood why they went with a movie style, goofy version of zombies it never made any sense, I’d say for spec ops they should’ve gone with something like extinction from ghost, make it so you play as a SDF soldier on a broken down space ship at the edge of the solar system, then waves of aliens could come, at first they could be bio weapon like aliens, coming in wave after wave but after some time actual aliens with guns come in As for zombies I do agree a dead space like zombies would’ve been so cool

The campaigns aren't always great, but they are usually fun, for different reasons (Ghosts was funny just to laugh at its absurdity). 3 - CoD fans are toxic by nature.

I know it's not Act Man's thing to buy DLC, but it's a shame cause you really missed out on some of the coolest Zombies map in the series! Rave in the Redwoods is a rave party in the woods where the boss enemy is a serial killer and its inspired by 90's early 2000's slasher films. You can trip out and the whole map becomes neon colored and Kevin Smith is a guest star. Shaolin Shuffle is a 70's style king fu movie homage with funky music and aesthetics, afros and zombie girls on roller skates, and Pam Grier. Attack of the Radioactive Thing is my favorite and is a 1950's B movie with a giant monster, radioactive mutants, and freaking Elvira, Mistress of the Dark! And The Beast From Beyond is based on sci fi horror like Alien and Event Horizon. Did I mention all those guest stars are playable characters like The Hoff in ZiS? You can even unlock and play as Willard Wyler, who's voiced by Paul Reubens. Paul Reubens is also the match announcer! Seriously Infinite Warfare Zombies is awesome.

The Campaign mode was absolutely phenomenal, the Zombies mode is probably one of my favourites and had so many crazy layers to it: levels based on movies genres from different decades, level-specific mechanics that sometimes drastically affected gameplay, the Skullcade machines, the unlockable guest characters, Director’s Cut, etc.... The fact that your guns in Multiplayer carried over to Zombies was a genius idea because as crappy as the daily sign-in was, the game would still have a decent drop rate for loot with the free common crate. I got my legendary RV-N from a free common and I’ve been turning Zombies to paste ever since. But yeah, TL;DR, Multiplayer killed Infinite Warfare.

Personally I love all of them but beast is a bit low down, spawning with cryptids until you find neils head which is in a garbage spot was pretty harsh on the player but the cryptic boss and Mephistopheles just make beats good again

[@Firnin]

My biggest complaint with the setting is that the whole war apparently takes place over the course of about a day. Honestly, the warp stuff is just too fast for an intersolar war. They should have portrayed the war as taking years to finish, with weeks between missions

[@chiprahn]

Yeah. Like 3/4 of the way through the game they just offhandedly mention the opening attack that happened "earlier today". I'm like wtf, I've been across the solar system 15 times. I've supposedly conducted like a dozen separate missions in the last 12 hours? Definitely feels like they wrote that line of dialog before they realized how big the game was going to get.

[@Beertraps]

While I agree that it felt weird how the entire campaign supposedly happens in a about a single day or two, it has to be mentioned that we did not finish the war and it was never our mission to win this war. We were supposed to buy Earth time to rebuild the fleet. In the very last mission before the final sacrifice this is repeated. Our deaths won't give us victory, our deaths make the people of earth not lose. By taking out most of the SDF fleet and destroying the Spaceport we achieve the goal to buy time. As far as I can tell the war has just begun in that moment.

[@doubl3tap51]

@@Beertrapsthat’s actually a really good take. We weren’t waging a one ship war, we were the delaying action

[@VioletMilks]

@@Beertrapsagreed and the ending scene doesn’t really tell you how much time has passed either, so maybe 1 month has passed or 10 years.

[@eueumesmoaquelecara4638]

I did all the secondary missions the second they were available and I could swear there was a big time from when Earth is attacked, and when I finally went back to the main story, everybody is like "they attacked us on Earth one hour ago". Like, man, I just spent one month or so doing some side quests, how's it yet the same day?? Also, it's actually fun that everyone is like "we need to save our friends from SDF right fucking now", and then I, as the capitan, say "nah, I wanna blow up some skelters in a random space junkyard near Pluto".

The campaign was really cool.

[@phoryanryan6822]

I wish we have a follow up or Pre-sequel of infinite warfare to learn a lot more of the story

[@phoryanryan6822]

@DanielJustDaniel yes I loved the gameplay too but the story was also great and realistic in a way as so many characters especially the ones we love(Ethan) die it’s not some badass soldiers getting out alive in every situation & the SDF being based on similar true events as they live in a harsh world while earthlings are some spoilt weak people who don’t really bother about people on mars. In my theory this also creates some jealousy with the idea of taking over the solar system and Earth. If you read the death messages you also learn a lot about them the way the treat there people would be similar and past events like conscription,rating citizens,lack of freedom & democracy.

[@Nullerror00000]

Super late but binge watching your CoD vids cause the way you deliver subject manner is awesome. Keep it up! I've played CoD ever since Finest Hour on the Original Xbox. It's been a wild ride seeing the series spring up from a former Medal of Honor Dev (Infinity Ward) to what it is now. I've always made sure to play the campaign first, since I feel like every game needs something to set the tone and backdrop of the matches you play in (immersion reasons I guess you could say). Only three campaigns out of the series really had me seriously engaged. MW (old not new), Black Ops, and Infinite Warfare. Infinite Warfare was a passion project made under a corporate thumb, and you can see all the love in it's missions, characters, and background. The target files, Ethan (best bro bot ever), Salter, the Marines, your crew, they didn't have the most depth but for CoD? It was impressive. Their deaths had impact, your character Reyes had emotional response. On top of fun missions, stunning art design, how you can tackle missions in any order, it was a breath of fresh air for a story. I adored Infinite's campaign. Multiplayer though? Still felt like Ghosts unfortunately, with BO3's advanced movement tacked on. Zombies was pretty decent too! I personally wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to it. It didn't deserve the avalanche of animosity at launch but I can understand why fans were so adamant towards it. But I agree with you. It's a misjudged game with a very stark shining campaign. I fear it won't get a sequel but there is hope. Edit**** the soundtrack was freaking awesome too
