On the flip side, however, if you do plough through the story, you’ll be done and dusted in a few short hours. The pros are that you can potentially extend your playtime by a few hours by taking on the extra missions, and that you’re given a little more freedom than past games allowed. I did a couple of each but found myself wanting to make my way through the story, so I ended up hitting the main missions one after another. There are the main missions, and then there are the side missions where you can pilot a Jackal fighter jet or take on one of the SDF’s starships. You’re presented with a map of the galaxy with little icons to indicate different missions. After this incident the SDF launches an assault on Earth and you’re thrust into the throes of battle until a chain of events leads to you, Reyes, becoming the Captain of the Retribution ship.įrom this point on, the progression of the game’s story is all down to how you want to play. This guy’s a total menace and he sends a very clear message to Earth: “Piss off, you’re not welcome!” Erm, yeah, that’s me paraphrasing a little, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise. The game starts with you and a few others on a mission that goes tits-up. It’s a ruthless organisation, and that’s putting it lightly. See, the SDF – the Settlement Defense Front – is a huge army/organisation/space North Korea that was once a part of Earth’s effort to colonise and farm the planets in our solar system, but now wants nothing to do with Earth. It’s not as simple as that, though, as there’s the SDF that is hell-bent on doing in the dirty Earth dwellers. The human race has since reached out to other planets and their moons in search of minerals to ship back to Earth. The world is in a bit of a pickle as the population has been breeding like rabbits, so now Earth is low on resources. Sure, it looked pretty and promised some grand set-pieces, as is the norm with the franchise, but the futuristic direction in which Call of Duty was headed didn’t really do it for me. I’ll be honest and say straight away that I didn’t really like the look of Infinite Warfare when it was revealed. Over the last few days, me and Infinite Warfare have been bonding while my family wonders where I’ve gotten to. Better late than never though, right? I avoided Infinite Warfare like the plague during its release – something I sorely regret now – but my other half gifted it to me for Christmas.
