No – Boots on the ground vs. exo suits
In time, it has not been uncommon to see the gaming community divided over topics involving the newest games released.
Following the release of the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the franchise received a lot of negative attention. Fans were unsatisfied to see the third consecutive Call of Duty game with advanced movement. Although this dissatisfaction can be justified and has been, players should be satisfied to get a game overall.
Advanced movement comes with the idea that Call of Duty has always moved forward in their games. From Finest Hour to World at War, Call of Duty focused on basing their games off past events.
From Modern Warfare to Infinite Warfare, they have moved forward. Infinite Warfare is likely the last front: outer space. Fans of the franchise should look forward to boots being back on the ground in 2017. These developers work day and night every year to create a game for the people, but they are entitled to their own decisions and likings.
If Infinity Ward decide they want to make a game with advanced movement, then that is what’s going to happen. I played all three of the advanced movement games.
The first released was Advanced Warfare, one of the first games to hit newer generation consoles. It featured exo suits that allowed the player to boost to ridiculous heights in the air, almost like Halo.
Most fans were dissatisfied with this because it gave more experienced players a huge advantage. More experienced players were more in tune with the movements than newer players. The game play was great and it was also a beautiful game. The negative side of the game was not only found in the movement but also the in-game purchases called supply drops.
As of now, fans have accepted that supply drops are going to be part of every Call of Duty game. For about three months, I played Black Ops 3 endlessly and enjoyed it.
It was also a controversial game because although it did not feature exo suits, players could still boost in small bursts at smaller heights and run on walls.
Treyarch put a lot of time into the game and a lot of fans did not understand that it was probably in development during the release of Advanced Warfare.
This made it so that they could not just throw away the game. Black Ops 3 was overall a quality game that I enjoyed very much. Infinite Warfare is where the real controversy rose, because Infinity Ward developed it after wide disapproval of Advanced Warfare.
Fans need to be grateful that developers are giving them a new game every year.
I guarantee that if it were any other franchise, people would call Infinite Warfare flawless.
