If engaging in heroic battles and warfare combat is your addiction, you should definitely consider buying Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which was released in stores Friday, Nov 4, 2016.
“Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare” is a first-person shooter video game published by Activision and developed by Infinity Ward. Infinity Warfare is the 13th installment of the Call of Duty Series. The first game of the series was released Oct. 29, 2003.
Action, adventure, warlike combat, and unforgettable journeys is everything you will experience in the new hit video game, “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare”. This game gives you a chance to fight and battle in warfare, compete against your friends, and even experience a new setting; outer space.
Outer Space features new, enhanced gameplay mechanics that allow players to move and play in a zero gravity environment. In this feature, the game is set in space where players can visit the different planets, asteroids, satellites, and even galaxies in the solar system.
Jesse Newsome, a junior biology major from Jackson, Miss. purchased the game the day it was released and was very impressed of the new feature, Outer Space.
“In previous games of the series, there really hasn’t been any features that make the game stand out, however the new outer space feature was something no one expected and completely changed the game in a good way in my opinion,” said Newsome.
According to VideogameChartz, “Infinite Warfare” is the biggest first person shooting video game of the year, outselling “Battlefield 1” and slaughtering “Titanfall 2”. There were 172,715 copies pre-ordered before the game was released.
Similar to past games in the series, “Infinite Warfare” has a campaign story mode that is set in the distant future. The setting is based on planet Earth having little to no resources because of a mass population growth and industrial expansion.
According to Activision games, the team chose space as the game’s setting as they believed that it can introduce new environments to players. To make the game more realistic, “Infinity Ward” had consulted several military experts. The team also wants to start an Infinite Warfare sub-series.
Other than the campaign story mode, there is an multiplayer mode where you can play against many others over the world, and a new cooperative multiplayer Zombies mode, which has its own gameplay mechanics and story that is separate from the campaign.
“The Zombies mode on this game is so much better now since I can play and compete with all of my friends online,” said Dante Clarke, a senior business major from Indianapolis, Ind.
“Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare” is available on various platform such as the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. It can be purchased in stores or online for $79.99.
