How true those words were, as the game ends on a cliffhanger (spoilers, sorry), seemingly setting up a sequel which has never materialised. In the parting words of game antagonist Gabriel Rorke, “There ain’t gonna be any Ghosts… We’re gonna destroy them together.” A story of two brothers, a dog, and some Ghosts… kind of underrated? (don’t hate me please) The weapon balance was also better and I simply enjoyed the story more. The reason it ranks above AW is that, for me, the maps were slightly better, and so was the movement system and the scorestreaks. The release of Infinite Warfare was partially saved by the inclusion of Modern Warfare Remastered, though that came at an additional price (not that kind of Price). Fans were already burnt out on the sci-fi trend and longed to go back to “boots on the ground”… luckily they soon got their wish. This was due to the game coming hot off of the heels of two other futuristic Call of Duty games, with no breaks in-between. Specialists or ‘Rigs’ made a comeback in IW, but felt watered down when compared to BO3.

Not a complete steaming pile of trash… but close, Infinite Warfare gained notoriety as the most ‘disliked’ Call of Duty game ever made. This meant that verticality came into play more changing map design and the way games were played to the point of frustration. On top of this the movement system changed to reflect the games’ futuristic tone, allowing players to rocket up and away during gunfights. This was made worse by the introduction of everybody’s favourite – loot boxes which contained game-changing and highly sought after gun variants.

Poor weapon balancing (ASM1 & Bal-27 were literally the only decent weapons) made the game tedious to play as it felt as though there was limited choice. The Campaign was forgettable, as was Exo-Zombies, but the Multiplayer suffered from three major flaws which, in my opinion, make it the worst in the series to date. Uplink was a good game mode addition, but this image pretty much sums it all up…Īdvanced Warfare was different which was positive at first, but then the cracks started to become apparent. A game which tried to innovate in a series going stale but failed big time, Advanced Warfare ended up doing more bad than good. Press F to pay respects to Advanced Warfare. Call of Duty tier list does not include any of the spin-off titles, such as Black Ops: Declassified, PS2 games (Finest Hour, Big Red One, COD 3), or Call of Duty: Mobile.
