Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare is a high-stakes action-adventure experience that takes the legendary franchise into the far reaches of space. Released on November 3, 2016, this entry brings a cinematic scale to the series, pitting players against relentless enemies across extreme environments at the very edges of the universe.
The Core Pillars of Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare
The game is built upon three distinct and engaging pillars: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies. Each mode offers a unique way to experience the high-octane combat that defines the franchise.
A Cinematic Campaign
In the single-player campaign, players take on the role of Captain Reyes, a pilot who has risen to the rank of Commander. Tasked with leading the remaining coalition forces against a relentless enemy, players must navigate deadly and extreme environments to ensure the survival of their faction. The narrative focuses on leadership and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
Intense Multiplayer and Cooperative Zombies
The multiplayer component delivers diverse combat arenas that challenge players with varying terrains and layouts. For those seeking a cooperative challenge, the Zombies mode provides a deep, narrative-driven experience. Through expansions like the Retribution DLC, the Zombies saga reaches its chilling conclusion in "The Beast from Beyond." This experience takes heroes into space to battle through hordes of infected enemies in an attempt to uncover the ultimate evil pulling the strings behind the chaos.
Expanding the Battlefield
The universe of Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare has been significantly expanded through various DLC offerings, most notably the Retribution map pack. This expansion introduces four epic multiplayer environments:
- Carnage: A post-apocalyptic race track situated along a scenic coast.
- Altitude: A high-end, sky-high shopping mall located at the edges of the universe.
- Depot 22: A watering hole serving as a refuge at the end of civilization.
- Heartland: A simulation of small-town America that serves as a re-imagining of the classic map "Warhawk" from Call of Duty®: Ghosts.
