While everybody might have thumbed down Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's lacklustre launch trailer to the very depths of Hell, we had a feeling that it might find redemption in its Mass Effect-like approach to its campaign structure with space dogfights that combine a mix of on-rails and free flight. From this gameplay trailer alone, you'll be hard-pressed to not admit that it looks like it can be loads of fun.
In the footage, the main character walks aboard the command center of his spaceship and actually chooses a particular mission near the Moon, akin to how you would do so on the Normandy's bridge. What follows is a chaotic battle where you lead an assault on another fleet, eventually evacuating your ship to grapple your way in zero gravity toward the foes' main spaceship bridge, which you promptly destroy from the outside with handheld explosives. After tearing your way through the flagship's innards and eliminating its personnel with the help of various equipment and short CQC kills that remind us of DOOM's Glory Kills, you evacuate the doomed vessel and watch the fireworks from the safety of your own cockpit.
A nice follow-up to the trailer offers us a look at some iconic setpieces and cutscenes from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, which is shaping up to be a rather spiffy-looking upgrade if we say so ourselves. Another interesting tidbit at the end reveals that for those who pre-order the versions of Infinite Warfare that come with the remastered title, they'll be able to play it a month early on PlayStation 4, which means fans will be able to go frosty starting on the 5th October.
Has Infinite Warfare's space combat made you warm up to it in comparison to its initial trailer? How about Modern Warfare Remastered? Are you buying the former title just for that or does the bundle not sit well with you? Since we're in space, go ahead and scream in the comments section to give us your thoughts about Call of Duty's latest.

Looks a lot better than I expected.
Honestly, this series isn't perfect but it doesn't deserve near as much hate as it gets. The last two CoDs were fun and this seems prettycool as well.
I can't deny that I pre-ordered the Legacy Pro edition after the initial reveal trailer. I had a feeling that this was going to be something different and cool. Just knowing that the ex-ND developers were behind this, the background behind the story, the vision of how it would work - not as linear as others, the zero g dogfights etc etc All added up to potential epic.
Space doesn't have to mean Sci-fi -we have people that have been to space now. The background of 'mining resources' from space has long been discussed and this is just following that path.
As much as I liked the Titanfall trailer and news, this is my Number 1 choice for the FPS genre. I really enjoy BO3 so the movement of both IW and TF2 will be familiar (also have TF anyway). An Epic looking campaign, Zombies and the fast paced MP experience I prefer - also the bonus of CoD4:R too...
It looked kind of interesting but it's just a bit of campaign rubbish which'll be over in under a 10 hours. So far, pass.
I like the look of this to be honest - some of the transition between environments and mechanics looks pretty fun. Can understand concerns this isn't COD but then maybe a more experimental COD is what the franchise needs right now.
I really like the look of it & they have done an excellent job of the MW remaster, looking forwards to there version of Zombies too.

No matter what CoD does everybody will p*ss, b*tch and moan anyway.
Looks really cool, kinda want it now.
Can't say I'm won over, but the demo was really cool, so I'll be keeping an eye on this game.
I like that BF1 & CoD both look interesting this year in drastically different ways. I pick every 1/5 of these yearly shooters but both have piqued my interest in 2016.
At first, I was hoping it might be a new colony wars! But overall, that looked a lot of fun!
