Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is a first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward. Leaked advertisements for the game were initially found in late April 2016, days prior to the official trailer, which was unveiled on May 2nd, 2016. The game was released on November 4th, 2016.

Plot
Set in 2080, Infinite Warfare takes place in a future where Earth's resources have nearly been depleted, forcing governments and businesses to seek them elsewhere in the solar system. While the major powers of the world squabble over control, space trade and travel are governed by the UNSA. At the start of the game, the starship fleets of the world have gathered in Geneva for the annual Fleet Week Parade, a peace initiative sponsored by the Solar Associated Treaty Organization. The event is cut short after a surprise attack by the Settlement Defense Front, a group of off-world insurgents bent on controlling the solar system. A sleeper cell hijacks Earth's planetary defense system and turns it on the parade, annihilating the majority of the UNSA fleet instantly. Simultaneously, a ground attack is made to take out the world's leaders and other attendees.

Players take control of Lieutenant Nick Reyes, who, after repelling the ground attack, is given command of Retribution.

Gameplay
The campaign is divided between core story missions which are progressed through linearly, as well as optional side missions. These missions provide weapons and assets, while also serving as a means to flesh out supporting characters. Three distinct modes of combat feature, and a player may encounter all three within the same mission. The first is standard infantry combat, which composes the bulk of gameplay. The other two are vehicular space combat, and "on foot" zero gravity combat.

The game will not feature co-op play in its campaign, but it will feature a Zombies mode as the co-op gameplay mode.

Multiplayer Beta
The  Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare  Beta was available for players who pre-ordered the game early. The beta was opened to PlayStation 4 on 10/14/16 and lasted until 10/17/16. The beta was open to Xbox One and Playstation 4 on 10/21/16 and lasted until 10/24/16.

Gamemodes
The game features Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Gun Game, Defender, Infected and Frontline.

Maps
Five maps were available in the Beta. The maps included Throwback, Frost and Frontier, while Precinct and Terminal were added at later dates.

Zombies
Infinite Warfare Zombies mode is the tertiary gamemode of the game.

Gameplay
This gameplay is very much like the original Zombies mode, with similar perks, power-ups, utilities, and weapons. The perks are eaten rather than drank, there are different bosses, the power-ups have similar names, traps are now free to use, and the maps are much more interactive.

Trivia

 * On June 9th, 2016, the box art for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was changed.
 * The box art depicts two soldiers wielding assault rifles, whereas the previous one depicted a single soldier holding a space helmet and an assault rifle, with a Raven behind him.
 * At the end credits it says "No robots were harmed in the making of this game". This is a callback to previous Infinity Ward games that ended with "No cows were harmed in the making of this game".
 * Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare shares the same release date November 4th with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, two years later.
