Infinite Warfare was a good game, not the best but overall great. Multiplayer was good, the zombies mode was fun and the campaign was a movie in the game! Of course I do have my negative opinions like synaptic d**k riders that used NV4 and KBars, spawns in both zombies and multiplayer and campaign being a little too tricky sometimes. The game was good overall I wished more casual players gave this game a chance so that I wouldn't have to sweat my ass off against people who thought that they were in MLG finals.
Right on Ace, and thanks for all your weapon stats vids for IW this year, you obviously put alot of time and effort into those. You are my official go-to channel for cod going forward, keep up the good work
Alright, let's go with what's good about the game: 1. Aesthetics. I kinda like the fact that not everything is meant to be completely sci-fi (look at the weapons for example, most of these look like something we can have irl). I love sci-fi, but the game got it right with the balance of something more realistic and futuristic. 2. Maps. Except for Scorch and maybe Mayday, I can absolutely play any map with no problem (as a matter of fact, Grounded and Crusher jumped to my top10 CoD maps. And those two I'm not a fan of...I don't mind playing them that much. Additionally, there is no map that is always chosen whenever pops up (maybe Terminal is a bit overplayed), unlike previous CoDs (all the Nuketowns, Detroit in AW, Rust in MW2 and more...) 3. Rigs. Apart from Synaptic which could use a bit of a nerf, rigs are pretty balanced and have visible strenghts, which can be turned into weaknesses if you know how (example - Stryker relies on their equipment, Flak Jacket pretty much makes their life harder, and Blind Eye counters the turret). Comparing this to BO3 specialists...absolute improvement, less insta-kills, no MW2 commando. 4. Weapon balance - again, all of them have strenghts and weaknesses. NV4 annoys you? Just get up close and personal. KBAR is good up close, but struggles at longer ranges. You just have to adjust accordingly. 5. Supply drops and variants - considering previous years, this is an obvious upgrade over both AW and BO3. I don't think I have anything to say here. 6. Connection - for me, 92% of the time I will have reliable connection. As Ace said in the video, this depends on person, but with my below average internet connection is surprisingly good. 7. Post-launch content - even if it was caused by lower playerbase than in previous years, this was great step in the right direction. Whenever something happens, new stuff is released, I immediatly can jump back into the game and start grinding the hell out of it. It just gives an incentive to come back once in a while. 8. Campaign - absolutely amazing. For me this is easily top3 campaign of all CoDs. 9. Zombies in Spaceland - as of right now, I don't have the Season Pass. I do, however, plan on buying it. Even still, ZiS is easily the most enjoyable zombie map I've ever played. 10. PC performance - this is somewhere in the middle, so I'll mention it here and whenever what IW did wrong video gets released. The performance was tricky when I first got IW, but after making small adjustments the game runs pretty well on my laptop. Performance issue happens, but that's a given with any game. And like Ace said, the game loads pretty fast compared to older CoDs, apart from the first time you join the lobby in a session. 11. Mission teams - those alone made me a bit play with a different playstyles than I usually do. This is something I've never done in older CoDs (probably because most of them had broken weapon balance which didn't allow for fun gameplay), and rewards are nice. That's most of the great stuff that IW did right IMO. Whenever the second part of the vid drops, I'll make similar comment on what IW did wrong, along with my final opinion.
100% agree, I think this game was really good, another couple of things they did right in my opinion: mission teams, weekly calenges in MP ans zombies, gestures, accessories, loved to play with every weapon and variants were original and ballanced (exept the flatline and the machete).
Crunchy odd that you used the flatline and machete as examples for overpowered variants. In hordcore, the flatline is undoubtedly and unquestionably the best gun in the game but in core is fairly mediocre. I'd prefer any other nv4 variant in core. Now I don't have the machete, so I'm not exactly sure how good it is to use first hand, but I've never really come across someone absolutely dominating a lobby with it. It really just seems to be a reaver with slightly more ammo, which is also provided by the Toro variant, and 1 hit melee which provides very situational advantages. Otherwise though I do agree with the points you've made, just curious to see why you consider these variants the be unbalanced/overpowered
Anyone else sticking with IW when WW2 comes out as their primary CoD? It has great zombies and multiplayer plays so smoothly. I hope they keep adding new guns, like BO3 did, but so more than 1% of players can use them.
Throkers 👌. The Multiplayer and Zombies is so much better in Infinite Warfare. The Multiplayer is smooth and fun. The cluster amount of Content makes the game so much more enjoyable. Never get bored of Multiplayer, considering that Im Master Prestige 21. The Zombies revived my love for Zombies. BO3 Zombies just killed it to me. The amount of ridiculous Easter Eggs and horrible Game Performance just made me hate it. IW Zombies is what made me pick up a Controller and decapitated Zombies. Just love how the Weapons keep on getting added to Zombies and that there are also Contracts for Zombies. The fun factor was added back to Zombies. I have not played BO3 in a month. Just IW for days. PS. Shaolin Shuffle is lit.
Incoming Comments from 10 Year Old Kids: 'COD is dead' 'People play this game?' 'No one cares about this garbage game' 'Stop posting IW, it sucks!' 'Its a bad copy of BO3' (just wanted to point that out as there are too many Kids in the Comments these days). Infinity Ward has done a lot of things right, including: Gamemodes (all Gamemodes are well made and fun, even the Campaign!) Content (Free Weapons, Weekly Contracts, Special Events like the Halloween Event) And constant game balancing and fixes (such as Map fixing and Great Weapon Balancing!) Although Infinity Ward has done mistakes in the Past such as the lack of testing the Guns, the adding of 60 Camos and some Weapons being unobtainable such as the Axe and the Venom x. I personally think its better than BO3. IW went stale to great. BO3 went from decent to crap. Infinity Ward has put so much continous effort towards the game and its obvious that they spent a long time making this game. Including the Weapons and Zombies Content. I just hope more Content for IW still comes next year as Im still gonna play it. Just for the sake of my Enjoyment.
That was like some of the people who bitched about the game without even playing it lol. That's some of my friends to an extent & I think most of the CoD community who didn't even bother touching this game.
Even after Cold War came out, I still love this game. I hated advanced warfare and thought bo3 was "okay." But I really enjoyed this advanced movement CoD. Just a shame that finding people to match up with is much more difficult now. I'd still have it installed if it wasn't for CW and MW19 taking up so much space on my hard drive.
supply drops not looking like it was a casino bringing in money. bo3 50+ dlc weapons this 10 that can be earn free and 4 only that are exclusive to the supply drop
I agree with you Ace, IW is the best COD yet. I wish they would be continuing to update it through the next year with new weapons. I think I am going to grind to MP30 instead of picking up WWII.
Your Dingle those were great games. I have my most time played and kills on BO2 of all the titles. That being said, IW is now the 2nd most on my list, and I have no urge to go back and play MW3 or BO2.
In my opinion Infinite Warfare was a great game, if it came as the actual introduction people would love it, but the fanbase was tired of futuristic stuff and advanced movement. Wrong place wrong time.
I started off this year hating IW because of the beta and played MWR for 2-3 months without even touching IW.once I gave IW a chance and started playing it regularly I fell in love with the game and couldn’t stand playing MWR because of how slow and boring it became to me.I think IW became a very polished game and has received way too much hate and if you noticed the TH-camrs who abandoned it got totally owned in the game and I think that’s the main reason they stopped playing it.I think IW is a solid game and I enjoyed playing it.great video Ace👍🏻
Ghost was a crutch perk before when UAV’s were only 400 points (UAV spam) and even now, the UAV is the only really viable lower tier streak option next to the CUAV, so Ghost is still really really good.
To me, and till this date, this is the most enjoyable COD that I have ever witnessed. I play and grind every day for hours and hours. I did not like the following CODs that forced players to become campers instead of brave fighters. Thanks ACE for all the positivity in this video review.
Two little things that I liked about multiplayer were that they'd added health bars above the heads, and I could run through teammates, thus making it possible for teammates to not block me.
Honestly in my opinion Infinite Warfare had a huge comeback around Febuary and March from the community and my personal experience. When it first came out i was not really enjoying it only got to first prestige by christmas and it was getting alot of hate. After they fixed a ton of the issues I got hooked. I am now mp11 with black sky camo and rig gear with most variants and tons of keys and salvage saved up for weapons. The community seems to have less hate towards the game now. Idk if its because people were starting to enjoy it or if hating on the game got old but with my experience IW really did come back from the horrible response it got from the community. Overall Infonite Warfare was a great game, so fun to play on all three gamemodes.
I played a trial version of IW for a few days. If I hadn't watched any videos, I would've guessed that the 'best' gun would be the Type 2. The KBar and NV4 complaints seemed absurd to me.
BDAGamer You're not wrong for thinking that because it is the best gun in the game. It has a faster time to kill than the NV4 at short and long ranges with almost no recoil and I believe is faster than the KBAR. Once the gun was buffed everyone in the competitive scene was only using Type 2s and they all immediately decided that the gun melted to fast causing it to be less competitive which made all of them ban it within the competitive community even before the CWL(COD World League) (which I'm not even sure they officially banned it but no one used it in any tournaments so maybe) part of the reason the KBAR and NV4 are over used is you get them at such a low level and the NV4 especially is just an easy gun to aim with even though a lot of guns will kill faster.
mission teams was a good feature that gives you an added objective to complete while playing, also the weapon variants you earned while playing as a certain team was a good motivation to keep at it, and also how variants had benefits in zombies as well. and weapon levels transfer between both modes was a great feature so you didn't have to regrind unless you prestige your weapons.
I will say that since the Energy Weapons were given the Fusion mag to basically grant unlimited ammo, it made me use my crutch perk of scavenger less. That is when I'm not challenging myself for nukes.
Ace, I so agree with you on all points. Especially on the loading times. When I couldn’t find a lobby for IW when I moved to Bangkok I put BOIII again into the machine. I took it out after the first game and switched off the console. I totally had forgotten how much time I wasted during. BOIII Life cycle sitting in front of a loading screen waiting for the game to start. Absolutely Unacceptable. I so hope that they will implement IW loading processes to let us enjoy and play rather than looking at a still image like idiots for minutes....
"... unless you start making other weapons basically statistically identical" BO1, supposedly a game with great balance in a nut shell, even though you had the most broken ARs ever and then a bunch of identical inferior 720rpm ARs and weaker SMGs below that LOL
What I really really liked is bounties coming to Zombies. I never ever had fun with Zombies because I never really gave it a chance. Easter Eggs always seemed like a story mode in which the devs forgot to put in the pointers to where the story continues. Bounties delivering a good useful reward for a small time investment really got me into IW Zombies, made me play the maps and try out something new. In the end I only played Zombies to get my keys and crates and stuff for the multiplayer, but it was a fun time that I spent with Zombies.
Ace thank you for giving this game a fair chance, not like other youtubers that jumped on the hate wagon and never played the game or gave it the time to appreciate it. Agreed with everything you said about what they did right, can't wait to see the video on the negatives.
I have to agree with everything you said, I would also add that it has nukes (limited by weapon variants) and also most trip mine/claymore/IED devices were actually detectable or some what avoidable even without certain perks
Absolutely agree with this. You forgot to mention that you earned keys in Zombies mode that you could use in Multiplayer or Zombies. That was a great move by IW.
for me the biggest issue with connections were party-ing up, if we were running a 6man, or doing some custom games or whatever, there are always a few people who arnt connectable to eachother for some reason, and everyone had to close their game to make it work (multiple times even, sometimes) but for the rest i had no real troubles with connection besides the occasional game or 2 where there was some lag/some people lagging, but you cant get rid of that in an multiplayer game, they will always be there. Another thing i really loved, was the protheus bug, the game was getting quite stale for me at that point, untill they brought out the protheus and the aimbot alongside it. Alot of people still want a gamemode with the protheus on release state, just to screw around in (because lets be honest, its always fun to get a quadkill with a sniper noscoping crossmap)
Even if I wasn't able to play this game, I saw a bunch of content pertaining to the game. I saw a fair amount of good things from this game. The events were fun & unique, the weapon balancing was good like you can do good with each gun if you give it the time & practice for that particular gun. I like how there's no crutch perks which I disliked in previous CoD Titles such as BO2 with Toughness & BO3 w/Fast Hands. The DLC was handled much better than BO3. With BO3 I felt like I was playing a lottery when it came to the DLC content. With IW Supply Drop System I felt like I can get the base weapon for a challenge that is pretty reasonable if I don't have the season pass. The variants for those DLC guns I'm ok with being behind a supply drops I agree that's a fair trade off. Also I like how you can craft certain weapon variants that you want for that particular weapon which is a neat idea in my opinion. Would I play this game if I had the chance to play it? I'd actually would play this game because it has balanced properly in terms of weapon balances & certain aspects of the game (like if there's something wrong with a certain map, Infinity Ward would get that map fixed ASAP).
Some things IW did right -combat record shows my highest kills with and without deaths -i can start the game up quickly -my season pass gave me access to the base version of a gun -zombies was pretty good
IMHO, this is an awesome game. The only real problems are net lag, lack of modes like Gears of War's Dodgeball (which encourage team play and less dying), and lack of large scale gameplay/maps/vehicles.
Infinite warfare was a good game But i just recently deleted to create space for ww2 I think the consumers destroyed the game with hate and just hating it because they were not good at it
What I feel infinite warfare zombies did right: - Fate and fortune cards being balanced and can be manually selected - Soundtracks - Variants - Map's tone feels unique - Secret boss/super EE boss - Taking the "cartoon" route - Playable guest characters - Director's cut - Bounties
One small minor point with skipping the IW and Activision logo... This is appreciated. Worst offender in the COD series is BO with its seizure inducing non-skippable Treyarch logo... BUT past IW games you were able to make MP the default selection over story mode. So when you boot up you can just spam X and go right into a TDM match. Seemed like an oversight with Infinite Warfare.
I bloody love Infinite Warfare. It had its problems at the start, but they got addressed, and the game just generally feels "right". As someone who completed the Black Sky grind, I also appreciated how they changed the camo challenges so that you achieved progress on multiple challenges at the same time, rather than unlocking in sequence. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really going to miss IW.
20 Positives, my 30-40 issues will be on what IW did wrong lol #1 Longer combat focus vs BO3, #2 I've never played so much zombies and almost got addicted, #3 the base maps were playable crusher with a slight exception, #4 there was more options to rigs than specialist, #5 I could get off a flag and no it won't reset, #6 loading times for launching a game and into a match, #7 love scorestreak variants, #8 weapon variants had some funny/amazing perks, #9 the keys you earn in zombies transfer to multiplayer, #10 almost every month 2XP, #11 other ways to earn variants besides cod points, #12 Mission teams added something new to the game, #13 2 Shot LMG Mammoth was so good, #14 connection was way better than bo3 like I could hit my targets , #15 some of the epic camos, #16 Demoltion, #17 2XP tokens, #18 Hyper TDM, #19 Shockwave is freakin hilarious no one expects you to use it and it's so UNDERRATED #20 If your whole team was playing 6v6 everyone could be in the Winner's circle and the taunts were funny.
in my opinion i like iw better then bo3 because in 2020 i can find a match alot easier in iw then bo3 plus the movement to me is a bit better in iw and the weapons seemed to fit a futuristic setting a bit more with the energy weapons
Only issue I have with the entire game is connections. For multiplayer, most of the time the connections are average. I notice that I'm not killing someone as fast as I should with a weapon, but the rest of the time I feel like I struggle to outgun .4 KDs as they somehow retain perfect accuracy as I wallrun around a corner, fly over their heads, and then lay waste into them. Sometimes I notice myself getting insta killed, but in the kill cam, apparently the dude fired 3 full burst trying to kill me. Rarely do I have perfect connections. But as said, that's the only issue I have with the entire game.
Adding on to the rigs part, it’s great being able to change rigs mid game. Someone using phase shift? Switch to FTL and kill them mid phase shift. It’s a good addition imo.
Felt that everything was spot on except the combat rig section. I felt that the complete opposite is true. In BO3, the specialist weapons always had some downside to them. Grav spikes took a long time (in cod terms) to activate, was loud and had a clear audiovisual queue, and could be completely avoided by boosting above ruin's body. The purifier took a full second to kill someone unless you hit them multiple times, this on top of the short range meant that most good players avoided it. The annihilator had 0 aim assist, sparrow and tempest had a charge up time, war machine could be countered with flak jacket + boosting, hive took a while to deploy, and the ripper is a knife. On the other hand, the claw is a crazy fast firing automatic weapon with pretty much 0 downsides, the eraser can be spam fired, unlike the annihilator, the grav cannon kills you instantly when you come close to it, equalizers have very little spread, and the ballista pretty much has aimbot. I felt that the weapons in ops 3 had counter play and were more risk-reward, with many good players avoiding them altogether because they payoff wasn't big enough, whereas in IW they feel like a powerup which almost guarantees you kills.
I agree with your overall sentiment. I agree that the maps are good. A bit more sophisticated than standard 3 lane Treyarch maps. Good video! Thumbs up
Great video Ace. I really agree with your points. I think for me, the variety of weapons that you can use and still be viable is a huge factor for me. I am an average player at best but even I feel like I can compete with numerous guns. I even found a sniper I like (TF-141) which I had never done before. I don't have the DLC, but I never find myself getting bored of the maps (except Terminal; not a fan). I initially hated Grounded and now I have had some of my best games on that map. It can be frustrating going against Synaptic/NV4 flatlines all time in HC but I still really love this game. I am doing challenges now which takes you out of your comfort zone even more but really keeps things fun. I don't miss any of the previous games at all. I tried BLOPS3 not too long ago and played 2-3 games and switched right back to IW. Its going to be difficult giving this game up when WWII drops. We'll see.. Just my 2 cents.
I agree with mostly everything Ace, except for the maps. I wasn't a huge fan of the maps this year because felt like they were too jumbled and chaotic...... on the opposite end there were only a few maps I was actually glad to play on, I had a hard time trying to figure out a solid opening route that worked a lot of the time
4:00 : 1500 hours... 1500 hours is the average number of hours you need to play for getting all the DLC guns. Keep your triple play offers and your "no dupe" supply drops for the end. Because obtaining the last guns will require much more luck.
The movement system, although not too different at the start, was fine tuned and more fluid--big plus. I'm not a fan of how variants worked, both weapon and scorestreaks. I understand AW's variant system was extreme and they didn't want a repeat but there weren't enough added pluses for me to go and spend keys or salvage let alone COD points. Something between IW and AW variant system would keep it fair in gun fights while making it worthwhile guns to work for...idk
I'm really going to miss dual-mode weapons. I somehow doubt we're going to get anything like the type-2 or the EBR in WW2. Which makes sense, of course, I just liked being able to switch quickly between modes for different ranges.
I kinda like IW but with the movement, I always had an issue with a wall run not connecting a lot more often than BO3. On a more positive note, I have pretty bad internet and I believe I've only experienced lag once in IW and that was because my router was dying.
Gonna talk about two points. First is connection and I totally agree with you on that. The hit detection is way better than both AW & BO3 and even though its a beta but IW's hit detection is better than WW2's Beta imo. And this is coming from a guy who plays IW in PC and from Asian region. And the next is Zombies and just like you I played more zombies in IW than any treyarch zombies and just like you said, I seriously loved how they went to the fun way rather than being serious. I kinda regret for not buying the Season Pass for zombies but I'm very happy with Zombies In Spaceland. Oh and on the subject of zombies, you didnt acknowledge the fact that one can earn keys by playing zombies in solo or co-op and the variants can be used in zombies which helped me a lot to play.
I can't disagree with anything. You hit the nail on the head. I think one thing you missed was the fact that they focused mor eon making the game FUN than what people consider "good". Instead of rebuilding the game throughout the year, they just made it hella fun for the people that actually liked it and I love that.
Another thing that I enjoyed about IW more than BO3 is that IW didn't have these random frame loss issues, cleaner textures, and less goofy aesthetics (overall). Also feel like the weapons are far more interesting than BO3, and variants added the desire to grind but was wayyyyy more balanced than AW. My main complaints about IW come down to synaptic (when are devs going to learn that giving abilities that affect boost screw with their movement systems), and a few variants being annoying.
If I played alone I had like zero lag. If I played with others in my group there could be a lot of lag to the point where it was super annoying. So for something I liked playing alone I had a perfect connection
As an avid sci-fi fan, I absolutely loved the campaign in Infinite Warfare, especially the space fighter stages. That said, I would enjoy seeing some air combat featured in multiplayer in future Call of Duty games. It would be a first for Call of Duty, if memory serves.
I love the colorful maps and how great everything looks, that's for sure. I also liked that about BO3, but I do feel like the IW maps are a little smaller and better for the run and gun style. However there are several maps I can't stand and always back out of like Crusher, Terminal and Dominion. I was annoyed Cranked and Grind couldn't be permanent game modes, BUT it was awesome they got included from time to time. I think all the things you listed were good things to list and I agree with them. The only real negative for me with IW was when they combined Kill Confirmed with Frontline (the worst game mode ever) inexplicably. They could have combined Frontline with any other game mode and it would have made more sense, I'll never forgive them for that.
I much prefer IW over BO3 for all the reasons you listed Ace. I really only have two complaints about IW: 1) Synpatic's design (being skinny and flying around all the time, he is just hard to hit.) 2) It takes forever to kill somebody sometimes and that uses up a ton of ammo. Scavenger is the closest perk to being a "crutch" perk just because you run out of ammo so easily. IW loading quickly = instant win. BO3 takes FOREVER to load anything. IW hit detection = instant win. BO3 you can hit somebody, and not hear anything. Then all of a sudden you hear the bullets land at once. Also, BO3 was very, very buggy (getting a party together was a pain. Tons of blue screen crashes everywhere. Even now in the create a class menu, you can't see what attachments are on your guns!) IW hasn't really been that buggy at all, besides a few issues with Xbox players.
So many things right. My most favorite has been gun balance. I have 10 classes of different guns and types, from LMGs to pistols, and I can succeed equally with all of them. Maps, at first, I thought were terrible. Too many ways to enter the same exact room, couldn't hold anything down. Then I got better, and I realized that means I could dominate other players trying to do that. Movement is so smooth other than Synaptic. Rigs are.....fine. Micro Turret can go die in a fire. Everything else is understandable, way better than BO3 OP specialists. I burned out on BO3 in like 3 months and only played at most once a week. I'm still playing IW at least 5 times a week now and I still enjoy it to death.
I absolutely love IW. I have only played the last 4 CODs though. It took me longer to get the hang of IW than the rest. Maybe other people's frustration stems from a similar learning curve.
I like the overall detail of this game the fact that when you call on a scorestreak you don't just click something on the side of your arm you call it in through an earpiece now there are a couple of them that you will use your arm for and those are for scorestreaks that make sense however I like that in this game you can call and score streaks and shoot at the same time. The sliding and the boost jump is very smooth in this game I would say it's slightly better than Black ops 3 which means a lot given that Black ops 3 is supposed to be all about movement. My main last point for the multiplayer specifically is that it doesn't pretend to be something that it's not it knows that it's a futuristic Call of Duty game it knows that it's stupid and unique and so it doesn't try to copy an old Call of Duty formula and just modify it for a futuristic Call of Duty it's designed around it's setting and it's maps which I love it feels like it actually has passion and love.
1:23 I am a BO3 player. Does IW also have that stupid auto mantle ? ( forcing you to wall run or climb each time you touch a wall or an object ) This is definitely what pisses me off the most in that game ( that and also the slide fail bug ) ( I wish there was a system like : keep the jump button pressed = no auto mantle. release the jump button = auto mantle is ON )
Comparing BO3 to IW, I was able to have a consistent class in IW than BO3. In BO3 I had to trade off way too many attachments to have a consistent class, which failed in the end.
im more of a bo3 person than a update required restart warfare.I just feel that the weapons,sounds,maps,and aesthetics ate much better than iw. i know this is ur vid and your opinions,but my favorite map from iw is the one with the black whole,cus if has a black hole. But all the maps look so similar. But i noticed that all the iw maps look either red or gray.Like thats the first thing that pops into my mind when i see the maps.just "r e d".Bo3 had such colorful maps.I would personally live in some of these. The only thing i would sat that iw did better than bo3 is the dlc
The supply drop system was a good surprise for me. But still haven't played the game, because of the theme, and the movement. I am an oldschool cod fan, this advanced movement isn't my thing.
You forgot about the proteus (the DLC sniper that shoots 3 bullets) that was OP (cause it was) in Hardcore for a short period! When you talked about the gun balance :p
Now I only played during the free trial, so I am by no means a reputable source on anything about the game, but I really liked the map backdrops. Especially that map on the destroyed space ship with the giant black hole as a backdrop.
In my opinion ghost already has a negative in the fact that it slotted with blind eye dexterity and blast shield and for many people the others are more desirable and you can only pick 2 of these
I'm really sad that a new COD will launch in a few weeks. IW ist one of my favorite CODs and I hope that at least a few players will still play this game in the future.
You forgot about the perk tracker...that is extremely over powered when it comes to search and destroy ... it is actually the most hated perk by snd players...its really good in core if your going against sweaties.
I never got into zombies till IW. I thought the zombies was done really well. Also for MP I enjoyed a lot and I think the gun camos was one of the best looking. Do wish they had the custom paint job like BO3.
its a small thing but i still like the fact that you can turn around and gesture to your team at the beginning of the match
Thaddeus B True. I like that gestures are coming to ww2. Also gun inspects like in mwr
Infinite Warfare was a good game, not the best but overall great. Multiplayer was good, the zombies mode was fun and the campaign was a movie in the game! Of course I do have my negative opinions like synaptic d**k riders that used NV4 and KBars, spawns in both zombies and multiplayer and campaign being a little too tricky sometimes. The game was good overall I wished more casual players gave this game a chance so that I wouldn't have to sweat my ass off against people who thought that they were in MLG finals.
Those sweats made me a better COD player to be perfectly honest. I enjoy a challenge every now and then, but this game kept me on my toes.
American Amadeus same
What's wrong with the kbar and nv4?
its natashaa all the sweaty tryhards use those two guns more than anything else
i loved this comment lol . because i think the exact same thing lol
IW was simply the best of the advanced movement CODs! So fluent and felt real great.
KlassicKrusty thank you for correcting me it helps me to learn!
Right on Ace, and thanks for all your weapon stats vids for IW this year, you obviously put alot of time and effort into those. You are my official go-to channel for cod going forward, keep up the good work
Finally a video that has iw in the thumbnail and is not shitting on it
IW had the best campaign since bo2
Yeetman Jones you're goddamn right
I really liked AW campaign, it had Kevin Spacey
Krydolph can't say no to Traffic mission.
Yeetman Jones hell yea I thought it was good as fuck
Yeetman Jones but not better than bo2...
For those who don't understand what an opinion is 😂
Sub Zero so half of the community
ImLucky7en yup
Roasted
Ace is brave enough to state his opinions. Very admirable.
Alright, let's go with what's good about the game:
1. Aesthetics. I kinda like the fact that not everything is meant to be completely sci-fi (look at the weapons for example, most of these look like something we can have irl). I love sci-fi, but the game got it right with the balance of something more realistic and futuristic.
2. Maps. Except for Scorch and maybe Mayday, I can absolutely play any map with no problem (as a matter of fact, Grounded and Crusher jumped to my top10 CoD maps. And those two I'm not a fan of...I don't mind playing them that much. Additionally, there is no map that is always chosen whenever pops up (maybe Terminal is a bit overplayed), unlike previous CoDs (all the Nuketowns, Detroit in AW, Rust in MW2 and more...)
3. Rigs. Apart from Synaptic which could use a bit of a nerf, rigs are pretty balanced and have visible strenghts, which can be turned into weaknesses if you know how (example - Stryker relies on their equipment, Flak Jacket pretty much makes their life harder, and Blind Eye counters the turret). Comparing this to BO3 specialists...absolute improvement, less insta-kills, no MW2 commando.
4. Weapon balance - again, all of them have strenghts and weaknesses. NV4 annoys you? Just get up close and personal. KBAR is good up close, but struggles at longer ranges. You just have to adjust accordingly.
5. Supply drops and variants - considering previous years, this is an obvious upgrade over both AW and BO3. I don't think I have anything to say here.
6. Connection - for me, 92% of the time I will have reliable connection. As Ace said in the video, this depends on person, but with my below average internet connection is surprisingly good.
7. Post-launch content - even if it was caused by lower playerbase than in previous years, this was great step in the right direction. Whenever something happens, new stuff is released, I immediatly can jump back into the game and start grinding the hell out of it. It just gives an incentive to come back once in a while.
8. Campaign - absolutely amazing. For me this is easily top3 campaign of all CoDs.
9. Zombies in Spaceland - as of right now, I don't have the Season Pass. I do, however, plan on buying it. Even still, ZiS is easily the most enjoyable zombie map I've ever played.
10. PC performance - this is somewhere in the middle, so I'll mention it here and whenever what IW did wrong video gets released. The performance was tricky when I first got IW, but after making small adjustments the game runs pretty well on my laptop. Performance issue happens, but that's a given with any game. And like Ace said, the game loads pretty fast compared to older CoDs, apart from the first time you join the lobby in a session.
11. Mission teams - those alone made me a bit play with a different playstyles than I usually do. This is something I've never done in older CoDs (probably because most of them had broken weapon balance which didn't allow for fun gameplay), and rewards are nice.
That's most of the great stuff that IW did right IMO. Whenever the second part of the vid drops, I'll make similar comment on what IW did wrong, along with my final opinion.
100% agree, I think this game was really good, another couple of things they did right in my opinion: mission teams, weekly calenges in MP ans zombies, gestures, accessories, loved to play with every weapon and variants were original and ballanced (exept the flatline and the machete).
Crunchy odd that you used the flatline and machete as examples for overpowered variants. In hordcore, the flatline is undoubtedly and unquestionably the best gun in the game but in core is fairly mediocre. I'd prefer any other nv4 variant in core. Now I don't have the machete, so I'm not exactly sure how good it is to use first hand, but I've never really come across someone absolutely dominating a lobby with it. It really just seems to be a reaver with slightly more ammo, which is also provided by the Toro variant, and 1 hit melee which provides very situational advantages. Otherwise though I do agree with the points you've made, just curious to see why you consider these variants the be unbalanced/overpowered
Oh sorry, forgot to mention that I play on PC, and these guns dominate every lobby, have not seen a flatline in a long time but reavers are OP
YES ACE THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO THATS TO EVERYONE THAT HATED ON THIS GAME FOR NO REASON, I LOVE THIS GAME!!
Daniel Khan I do have a reason for hating on this game. I just don't like it. I don't like how the game feels. Far as I'm concerned the game was crap
Drift0r’s fault
Anyone else sticking with IW when WW2 comes out as their primary CoD? It has great zombies and multiplayer plays so smoothly. I hope they keep adding new guns, like BO3 did, but so more than 1% of players can use them.
Throkers 👌. The Multiplayer and Zombies is so much better in Infinite Warfare. The Multiplayer is smooth and fun. The cluster amount of Content makes the game so much more enjoyable. Never get bored of Multiplayer, considering that Im Master Prestige 21.
The Zombies revived my love for Zombies. BO3 Zombies just killed it to me. The amount of ridiculous Easter Eggs and horrible Game Performance just made me hate it. IW Zombies is what made me pick up a Controller and decapitated Zombies. Just love how the Weapons keep on getting added to Zombies and that there are also Contracts for Zombies. The fun factor was added back to Zombies. I have not played BO3 in a month. Just IW for days.
PS. Shaolin Shuffle is lit.
Me too. I've gotten too used the future movement system
i might be doing the same
I'm staying with IW, MWR and BF4
Incoming Comments from 10 Year Old Kids:
'COD is dead'
'People play this game?'
'No one cares about this garbage game'
'Stop posting IW, it sucks!'
'Its a bad copy of BO3'
(just wanted to point that out as there are too many Kids in the Comments these days).
Infinity Ward has done a lot of things right, including:
Gamemodes (all Gamemodes are well made and fun, even the Campaign!)
Content (Free Weapons, Weekly Contracts, Special Events like the Halloween Event)
And constant game balancing and fixes (such as Map fixing and Great Weapon Balancing!)
Although Infinity Ward has done mistakes in the Past such as the lack of testing the Guns, the adding of 60 Camos and some Weapons being unobtainable such as the Axe and the Venom x. I personally think its better than BO3. IW went stale to great. BO3 went from decent to crap. Infinity Ward has put so much continous effort towards the game and its obvious that they spent a long time making this game. Including the Weapons and Zombies Content. I just hope more Content for IW still comes next year as Im still gonna play it. Just for the sake of my Enjoyment.
Words of wisdom, words of wisdom mate.
The Warrior true
Agreed. IW really surprised me. Definitely had a better time playing IW than BO3
That was like some of the people who bitched about the game without even playing it lol. That's some of my friends to an extent & I think most of the CoD community who didn't even bother touching this game.
I can relate. I actually went into IW hating it because of all the hate I heard but it ended up being really fun
Even after Cold War came out, I still love this game. I hated advanced warfare and thought bo3 was "okay." But I really enjoyed this advanced movement CoD. Just a shame that finding people to match up with is much more difficult now. I'd still have it installed if it wasn't for CW and MW19 taking up so much space on my hard drive.
I’m literally getting an external hard drive so I can play all three
supply drops not looking like it was a casino bringing in money. bo3 50+ dlc weapons this 10 that can be earn free and 4 only that are exclusive to the supply drop
I agree with you Ace, IW is the best COD yet. I wish they would be continuing to update it through the next year with new weapons. I think I am going to grind to MP30 instead of picking up WWII.
USClight It's unfortunate that IW will most likely be dead once WWII drops.
RSXbig0 See you there, brothers.
Ill be there with u my dude
I agree with IW being a good game, but it's definitely not better than mw3 and bo2
Your Dingle those were great games. I have my most time played and kills on BO2 of all the titles. That being said, IW is now the 2nd most on my list, and I have no urge to go back and play MW3 or BO2.
I really liked the weapon balance and the camos. Black sky looks amazing!
In my opinion Infinite Warfare was a great game, if it came as the actual introduction people would love it, but the fanbase was tired of futuristic stuff and advanced movement. Wrong place wrong time.
The guns. No gun was boring to use. All were fun.
I started off this year hating IW because of the beta and played MWR for 2-3 months without even touching IW.once I gave IW a chance and started playing it regularly I fell in love with the game and couldn’t stand playing MWR because of how slow and boring it became to me.I think IW became a very polished game and has received way too much hate and if you noticed the TH-camrs who abandoned it got totally owned in the game and I think that’s the main reason they stopped playing it.I think IW is a solid game and I enjoyed playing it.great video Ace👍🏻
You forgot about the collision. You can run through teammate which is good if your in tight situation
I Have 35 days played on this game and enjoyed 28 days of it the other 7 days include me choking nukes and dying to spiders
Infinite warfare was a good game
Agreed. It just came at a time when people got bored of futuristic games
Ya it was fun
is*
ניצן כספי I agree with you
good bot
Ghost was a crutch perk before when UAV’s were only 400 points (UAV spam) and even now, the UAV is the only really viable lower tier streak option next to the CUAV, so Ghost is still really really good.
To me, and till this date, this is the most enjoyable COD that I have ever witnessed. I play and grind every day for hours and hours.
I did not like the following CODs that forced players to become campers instead of brave fighters. Thanks ACE for all the positivity in this video review.
Advanced movement in Advanced Warfar was a really interesting mechanic which was easy to learn but hard to master. And it really added depth.
Two little things that I liked about multiplayer were that they'd added health bars above the heads, and I could run through teammates, thus making it possible for teammates to not block me.
Honestly in my opinion Infinite Warfare had a huge comeback around Febuary and March from the community and my personal experience. When it first came out i was not really enjoying it only got to first prestige by christmas and it was getting alot of hate. After they fixed a ton of the issues I got hooked. I am now mp11 with black sky camo and rig gear with most variants and tons of keys and salvage saved up for weapons. The community seems to have less hate towards the game now. Idk if its because people were starting to enjoy it or if hating on the game got old but with my experience IW really did come back from the horrible response it got from the community. Overall Infonite Warfare was a great game, so fun to play on all three gamemodes.
I played a trial version of IW for a few days. If I hadn't watched any videos, I would've guessed that the 'best' gun would be the Type 2. The KBar and NV4 complaints seemed absurd to me.
BDAGamer You're not wrong for thinking that because it is the best gun in the game. It has a faster time to kill than the NV4 at short and long ranges with almost no recoil and I believe is faster than the KBAR. Once the gun was buffed everyone in the competitive scene was only using Type 2s and they all immediately decided that the gun melted to fast causing it to be less competitive which made all of them ban it within the competitive community even before the CWL(COD World League) (which I'm not even sure they officially banned it but no one used it in any tournaments so maybe) part of the reason the KBAR and NV4 are over used is you get them at such a low level and the NV4 especially is just an easy gun to aim with even though a lot of guns will kill faster.
Yeah I can confirm, I love the Type 2.
Ell Torn 90%correct, the hot baby knife part was a little too much for me, lol
mission teams was a good feature that gives you an added objective to complete while playing, also the weapon variants you earned while playing as a certain team was a good motivation to keep at it, and also how variants had benefits in zombies as well. and weapon levels transfer between both modes was a great feature so you didn't have to regrind unless you prestige your weapons.
I will say that since the Energy Weapons were given the Fusion mag to basically grant unlimited ammo, it made me use my crutch perk of scavenger less. That is when I'm not challenging myself for nukes.
Ace, I so agree with you on all points.
Especially on the loading times.
When I couldn’t find a lobby for IW when I moved to Bangkok I put BOIII again into the machine. I took it out after the first game and switched off the console.
I totally had forgotten how much time I wasted during. BOIII Life cycle sitting in front of a loading screen waiting for the game to start. Absolutely Unacceptable.
I so hope that they will implement IW loading processes to let us enjoy and play rather than looking at a still image like idiots for minutes....
I liked how Infinity Ward added a lot of vibrant colors to the game, that some of the past IW titles lacked in comparison.
"... unless you start making other weapons basically statistically identical"
BO1, supposedly a game with great balance in a nut shell, even though you had the most broken ARs ever and then a bunch of identical inferior 720rpm ARs and weaker SMGs below that LOL
What I really really liked is bounties coming to Zombies. I never ever had fun with Zombies because I never really gave it a chance. Easter Eggs always seemed like a story mode in which the devs forgot to put in the pointers to where the story continues.
Bounties delivering a good useful reward for a small time investment really got me into IW Zombies, made me play the maps and try out something new. In the end I only played Zombies to get my keys and crates and stuff for the multiplayer, but it was a fun time that I spent with Zombies.
Ace thank you for giving this game a fair chance, not like other youtubers that jumped on the hate wagon and never played the game or gave it the time to appreciate it. Agreed with everything you said about what they did right, can't wait to see the video on the negatives.
I have to agree with everything you said, I would also add that it has nukes (limited by weapon variants) and also most trip mine/claymore/IED devices were actually detectable or some what avoidable even without certain perks
Absolutely agree with this. You forgot to mention that you earned keys in Zombies mode that you could use in Multiplayer or Zombies. That was a great move by IW.
for me the biggest issue with connections were party-ing up, if we were running a 6man, or doing some custom games or whatever, there are always a few people who arnt connectable to eachother for some reason, and everyone had to close their game to make it work (multiple times even, sometimes) but for the rest i had no real troubles with connection besides the occasional game or 2 where there was some lag/some people lagging, but you cant get rid of that in an multiplayer game, they will always be there.
Another thing i really loved, was the protheus bug, the game was getting quite stale for me at that point, untill they brought out the protheus and the aimbot alongside it. Alot of people still want a gamemode with the protheus on release state, just to screw around in (because lets be honest, its always fun to get a quadkill with a sniper noscoping crossmap)
Even if I wasn't able to play this game, I saw a bunch of content pertaining to the game. I saw a fair amount of good things from this game. The events were fun & unique, the weapon balancing was good like you can do good with each gun if you give it the time & practice for that particular gun. I like how there's no crutch perks which I disliked in previous CoD Titles such as BO2 with Toughness & BO3 w/Fast Hands. The DLC was handled much better than BO3. With BO3 I felt like I was playing a lottery when it came to the DLC content. With IW Supply Drop System I felt like I can get the base weapon for a challenge that is pretty reasonable if I don't have the season pass. The variants for those DLC guns I'm ok with being behind a supply drops I agree that's a fair trade off. Also I like how you can craft certain weapon variants that you want for that particular weapon which is a neat idea in my opinion. Would I play this game if I had the chance to play it? I'd actually would play this game because it has balanced properly in terms of weapon balances & certain aspects of the game (like if there's something wrong with a certain map, Infinity Ward would get that map fixed ASAP).
Sadly, this game and its Season Pass is still full price on PS Store (EU)
Some things IW did right
-combat record shows my highest kills with and without deaths
-i can start the game up quickly
-my season pass gave me access to the base version of a gun
-zombies was pretty good
IMHO, this is an awesome game. The only real problems are net lag, lack of modes like Gears of War's Dodgeball (which encourage team play and less dying), and lack of large scale gameplay/maps/vehicles.
Infinite warfare was a good game
But i just recently deleted to create space for ww2
I think the consumers destroyed the game with hate and just hating it because they were not good at it
What I feel infinite warfare zombies did right:
- Fate and fortune cards being balanced and can be manually selected
- Soundtracks
- Variants
- Map's tone feels unique
- Secret boss/super EE boss
- Taking the "cartoon" route
- Playable guest characters
- Director's cut
- Bounties
One small minor point with skipping the IW and Activision logo... This is appreciated. Worst offender in the COD series is BO with its seizure inducing non-skippable Treyarch logo... BUT past IW games you were able to make MP the default selection over story mode. So when you boot up you can just spam X and go right into a TDM match. Seemed like an oversight with Infinite Warfare.
2:23-2:33 Every time I see an enemy when they aren't looking at me...
xRMxTIJSxRMx
LOL SAME
I bloody love Infinite Warfare. It had its problems at the start, but they got addressed, and the game just generally feels "right". As someone who completed the Black Sky grind, I also appreciated how they changed the camo challenges so that you achieved progress on multiple challenges at the same time, rather than unlocking in sequence. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really going to miss IW.
20 Positives, my 30-40 issues will be on what IW did wrong lol #1 Longer combat focus vs BO3, #2 I've never played so much zombies and almost got addicted, #3 the base maps were playable crusher with a slight exception, #4 there was more options to rigs than specialist, #5 I could get off a flag and no it won't reset, #6 loading times for launching a game and into a match,
#7 love scorestreak variants, #8 weapon variants had some funny/amazing perks, #9 the keys you earn in zombies transfer to multiplayer, #10 almost every month 2XP,
#11 other ways to earn variants besides cod points, #12 Mission teams added something new to the game, #13 2 Shot LMG Mammoth was so good, #14 connection was way better than bo3 like I could hit my targets , #15 some of the epic camos, #16 Demoltion, #17 2XP tokens, #18 Hyper TDM, #19 Shockwave is freakin hilarious no one expects you to use it and it's so UNDERRATED #20 If your whole team was playing 6v6 everyone could be in the Winner's circle and the taunts were funny.
in my opinion i like iw better then bo3 because in 2020 i can find a match alot easier in iw then bo3 plus the movement to me is a bit better in iw and the weapons seemed to fit a futuristic setting a bit more with the energy weapons
Only issue I have with the entire game is connections. For multiplayer, most of the time the connections are average. I notice that I'm not killing someone as fast as I should with a weapon, but the rest of the time I feel like I struggle to outgun .4 KDs as they somehow retain perfect accuracy as I wallrun around a corner, fly over their heads, and then lay waste into them. Sometimes I notice myself getting insta killed, but in the kill cam, apparently the dude fired 3 full burst trying to kill me. Rarely do I have perfect connections. But as said, that's the only issue I have with the entire game.
Killstreak balance was perfect. Nothing ruins an objective based experience quicker than a wrathe and raps onslaught...
Adding on to the rigs part, it’s great being able to change rigs mid game. Someone using phase shift? Switch to FTL and kill them mid phase shift. It’s a good addition imo.
Totally agree with you about multi player and what I most like about this game is not wasting time for loading and good connection
Felt that everything was spot on except the combat rig section. I felt that the complete opposite is true. In BO3, the specialist weapons always had some downside to them. Grav spikes took a long time (in cod terms) to activate, was loud and had a clear audiovisual queue, and could be completely avoided by boosting above ruin's body. The purifier took a full second to kill someone unless you hit them multiple times, this on top of the short range meant that most good players avoided it. The annihilator had 0 aim assist, sparrow and tempest had a charge up time, war machine could be countered with flak jacket + boosting, hive took a while to deploy, and the ripper is a knife. On the other hand, the claw is a crazy fast firing automatic weapon with pretty much 0 downsides, the eraser can be spam fired, unlike the annihilator, the grav cannon kills you instantly when you come close to it, equalizers have very little spread, and the ballista pretty much has aimbot. I felt that the weapons in ops 3 had counter play and were more risk-reward, with many good players avoiding them altogether because they payoff wasn't big enough, whereas in IW they feel like a powerup which almost guarantees you kills.
I agree with your overall sentiment. I agree that the maps are good. A bit more sophisticated than standard 3 lane Treyarch maps. Good video! Thumbs up
🔥 Video ACE once again 👏👏👏👍
Great video Ace. I really agree with your points. I think for me, the variety of weapons that you can use and still be viable is a huge factor for me. I am an average player at best but even I feel like I can compete with numerous guns. I even found a sniper I like (TF-141) which I had never done before. I don't have the DLC, but I never find myself getting bored of the maps (except Terminal; not a fan). I initially hated Grounded and now I have had some of my best games on that map. It can be frustrating going against Synaptic/NV4 flatlines all time in HC but I still really love this game. I am doing challenges now which takes you out of your comfort zone even more but really keeps things fun. I don't miss any of the previous games at all. I tried BLOPS3 not too long ago and played 2-3 games and switched right back to IW. Its going to be difficult giving this game up when WWII drops. We'll see.. Just my 2 cents.
I agree with mostly everything Ace, except for the maps. I wasn't a huge fan of the maps this year because felt like they were too jumbled and chaotic...... on the opposite end there were only a few maps I was actually glad to play on, I had a hard time trying to figure out a solid opening route that worked a lot of the time
i loved the campaign, i was devastated when we had to self destruct ethan, the campaign was one of the best ive played in years.
4:00 : 1500 hours... 1500 hours is the average number of hours you need to play for getting all the DLC guns.
Keep your triple play offers and your "no dupe" supply drops for the end. Because obtaining the last guns will require much more luck.
Zombies are ONLY zombies in COD history that gave me fun , not challenge with monsters.
Voxus I would change 'Monsters' to 'Aliens and Demons'. Its not even Zombies at all.
The Warrior I'm saying in this moment about past chapters of CoD. There were pretty scary zombies , that were in my opinion this MONSTERS
Gunplay and game mechanics have always felt the best and smoothest in Infinity Ward games
The movement system, although not too different at the start, was fine tuned and more fluid--big plus.
I'm not a fan of how variants worked, both weapon and scorestreaks. I understand AW's variant system was extreme and they didn't want a repeat but there weren't enough added pluses for me to go and spend keys or salvage let alone COD points. Something between IW and AW variant system would keep it fair in gun fights while making it worthwhile guns to work for...idk
I'm really going to miss dual-mode weapons. I somehow doubt we're going to get anything like the type-2 or the EBR in WW2.
Which makes sense, of course, I just liked being able to switch quickly between modes for different ranges.
I kinda like IW but with the movement, I always had an issue with a wall run not connecting a lot more often than BO3.
On a more positive note, I have pretty bad internet and I believe I've only experienced lag once in IW and that was because my router was dying.
Gonna talk about two points. First is connection and I totally agree with you on that. The hit detection is way better than both AW & BO3 and even though its a beta but IW's hit detection is better than WW2's Beta imo. And this is coming from a guy who plays IW in PC and from Asian region.
And the next is Zombies and just like you I played more zombies in IW than any treyarch zombies and just like you said, I seriously loved how they went to the fun way rather than being serious. I kinda regret for not buying the Season Pass for zombies but I'm very happy with Zombies In Spaceland.
Oh and on the subject of zombies, you didnt acknowledge the fact that one can earn keys by playing zombies in solo or co-op and the variants can be used in zombies which helped me a lot to play.
I can't disagree with anything. You hit the nail on the head. I think one thing you missed was the fact that they focused mor eon making the game FUN than what people consider "good". Instead of rebuilding the game throughout the year, they just made it hella fun for the people that actually liked it and I love that.
Long time cod player here: can seriously say that I have enjoyed iw more than previous cods. I will miss it a bit when ww2 comes out.
Iw only did one thing right: giving season pass owners base weapons of dlc items and the options for challenges to get them
The colorful maps really nails it. I see WW2 and it just depresses me.
Another thing that I enjoyed about IW more than BO3 is that IW didn't have these random frame loss issues, cleaner textures, and less goofy aesthetics (overall). Also feel like the weapons are far more interesting than BO3, and variants added the desire to grind but was wayyyyy more balanced than AW. My main complaints about IW come down to synaptic (when are devs going to learn that giving abilities that affect boost screw with their movement systems), and a few variants being annoying.
If I played alone I had like zero lag. If I played with others in my group there could be a lot of lag to the point where it was super annoying. So for something I liked playing alone I had a perfect connection
As an avid sci-fi fan, I absolutely loved the campaign in Infinite Warfare, especially the space fighter stages. That said, I would enjoy seeing some air combat featured in multiplayer in future Call of Duty games. It would be a first for Call of Duty, if memory serves.
That would be pushing it too far for me! You have BF1 for that kind of nonsense :)
Ace everything you said in this video reflects my opinion perfectly it brings a tear to my eye
I love the colorful maps and how great everything looks, that's for sure. I also liked that about BO3, but I do feel like the IW maps are a little smaller and better for the run and gun style. However there are several maps I can't stand and always back out of like Crusher, Terminal and Dominion. I was annoyed Cranked and Grind couldn't be permanent game modes, BUT it was awesome they got included from time to time. I think all the things you listed were good things to list and I agree with them. The only real negative for me with IW was when they combined Kill Confirmed with Frontline (the worst game mode ever) inexplicably. They could have combined Frontline with any other game mode and it would have made more sense, I'll never forgive them for that.
Like Ace said, the supply drops. I think the way IW handled supply drops should almost be the standard moving foward.
XclusiveAce is the best commentator in call of duty period!
I think the mutiplayer and zomies were great and I'd place this game in my top 5 call of duties.
I much prefer IW over BO3 for all the reasons you listed Ace. I really only have two complaints about IW:
1) Synpatic's design (being skinny and flying around all the time, he is just hard to hit.)
2) It takes forever to kill somebody sometimes and that uses up a ton of ammo. Scavenger is the closest perk to being a "crutch" perk just because you run out of ammo so easily.
IW loading quickly = instant win. BO3 takes FOREVER to load anything.
IW hit detection = instant win. BO3 you can hit somebody, and not hear anything. Then all of a sudden you hear the bullets land at once.
Also, BO3 was very, very buggy (getting a party together was a pain. Tons of blue screen crashes everywhere. Even now in the create a class menu, you can't see what attachments are on your guns!) IW hasn't really been that buggy at all, besides a few issues with Xbox players.
So many things right. My most favorite has been gun balance. I have 10 classes of different guns and types, from LMGs to pistols, and I can succeed equally with all of them. Maps, at first, I thought were terrible. Too many ways to enter the same exact room, couldn't hold anything down. Then I got better, and I realized that means I could dominate other players trying to do that. Movement is so smooth other than Synaptic. Rigs are.....fine. Micro Turret can go die in a fire. Everything else is understandable, way better than BO3 OP specialists. I burned out on BO3 in like 3 months and only played at most once a week. I'm still playing IW at least 5 times a week now and I still enjoy it to death.
I absolutely love IW. I have only played the last 4 CODs though. It took me longer to get the hang of IW than the rest. Maybe other people's frustration stems from a similar learning curve.
I like the overall detail of this game the fact that when you call on a scorestreak you don't just click something on the side of your arm you call it in through an earpiece now there are a couple of them that you will use your arm for and those are for scorestreaks that make sense however I like that in this game you can call and score streaks and shoot at the same time.
The sliding and the boost jump is very smooth in this game I would say it's slightly better than Black ops 3 which means a lot given that Black ops 3 is supposed to be all about movement.
My main last point for the multiplayer specifically is that it doesn't pretend to be something that it's not it knows that it's a futuristic Call of Duty game it knows that it's stupid and unique and so it doesn't try to copy an old Call of Duty formula and just modify it for a futuristic Call of Duty it's designed around it's setting and it's maps which I love it feels like it actually has passion and love.
1:23 I am a BO3 player. Does IW also have that stupid auto mantle ? ( forcing you to wall run or climb each time you touch a wall or an object )
This is definitely what pisses me off the most in that game ( that and also the slide fail bug )
( I wish there was a system like : keep the jump button pressed = no auto mantle. release the jump button = auto mantle is ON )
Comparing BO3 to IW, I was able to have a consistent class in IW than BO3. In BO3 I had to trade off way too many attachments to have a consistent class, which failed in the end.
Verentier that's so,etching I liked about IW but at the same time it made BO3 more competitive by forcing people to choose a lot more load outs
What it done right - Howitzer, PLAW, Cryomines, Micro Turret
im more of a bo3 person than a update required restart warfare.I just feel that the weapons,sounds,maps,and aesthetics ate much better than iw. i know this is ur vid and your opinions,but my favorite map from iw is the one with the black whole,cus if has a black hole. But all the maps look so similar. But i noticed that all the iw maps look either red or gray.Like thats the first thing that pops into my mind when i see the maps.just "r e d".Bo3 had such colorful maps.I would personally live in some of these. The only thing i would sat that iw did better than bo3 is the dlc
The supply drop system was a good surprise for me. But still haven't played the game, because of the theme, and the movement. I am an oldschool cod fan, this advanced movement isn't my thing.
You forgot about the proteus (the DLC sniper that shoots 3 bullets) that was OP (cause it was) in Hardcore for a short period! When you talked about the gun balance :p
MissEnya the proteus was broken for under 24 hours. The vpr remained op for almost a week
Nick McDaniel yeah that’s true! VPR stayed OP for too long!
I agree with you in everything except for the colour palette which I found to be dull
spot on analysis, except if Propulsion was a perk itd be a crutch perk for a lot of Scuffers/tryhards
Things cod iw did right:
Weapon balancing
Campaign zombies
Salvage
Etc
Now I only played during the free trial, so I am by no means a reputable source on anything about the game, but I really liked the map backdrops. Especially that map on the destroyed space ship with the giant black hole as a backdrop.
Oh, I also had a lot of fun with the shotguns in the game.
In my opinion ghost already has a negative in the fact that it slotted with blind eye dexterity and blast shield and for many people the others are more desirable and you can only pick 2 of these
I'm really sad that a new COD will launch in a few weeks. IW ist one of my favorite CODs and I hope that at least a few players will still play this game in the future.
what bothered me the most about this game was they got rid of uplink. that was the best game mode in BO3
You forgot about the perk tracker...that is extremely over powered when it comes to search and destroy ... it is actually the most hated perk by snd players...its really good in core if your going against sweaties.
I'm going to PS4 and I'm definitely buying IW again along side WW2.
It's just going to be a shame losing my armory
Best thing is relaxed player detection I CAN WALK THROUGH PEOPLE AND THAT'S A BIG FUCKING DEAL
I never got into zombies till IW. I thought the zombies was done really well. Also for MP I enjoyed a lot and I think the gun camos was one of the best looking. Do wish they had the custom paint job like BO3.
Wow I never knew you thought Infinitewarfare could have done anything wrong ace
