Forum:Infinite Warfare timeline

Hi

I want to talk about the time frame of Infinite Warfare (we know IW is in the same timeline as Modern Warfare) and how working with it.

After finishing the campaign, I came back to the wikia and I saw the date 2080 all over the place while I didn't see any mention of this year. When I changed one page and asked for an in-game source, I got no answer and 2080 was here again. So I ask everybody here, where does the date 2080 come from?

Not only the date for the campaign but the date of birth for some characters. I checked the Terminal in the captain's cabin in the Retribution and there's no mention at all, did I miss something? If so, please correct me with something from the game so I can look back at it again.

Because right now, from what I have seen during the campaign, there're only 3 "dates" :


 * May 6th for Rising Threat
 * May 7th for the attack of Geneva aka Black Sky (and the characters keep repeating "today" as a reference to Black Sky, looks a bit strange the campaign takes place in a single day)
 * The campaign takes place 31 years after the end of the Secession War between the SetDef and the UNSA (as mentionned in a quote when you die)

So if the date 2080 don't exist in the game, what do we do? How do we add the event of the game in the Modern Warfare timeline?
