The thirteenth installment of the popular first-person shooter game "Call of Duty" is too big and too violent to be confined in our world. Infinity Ward has come a long way from World War II and now "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" strikes cataclysmic skirmishes on mankind's inhabited and barely-settled planets throughout the known universe.
Truly, this latest video game sequel has evolved into a monstrous sci-fi opera that competes with the likes of "Halo", "Mass Effect", and "Dead Space". Fans would not be far off describing this newest "Call of Duty" franchise as "Starship Troopers" on steroids.
Curiously, this latest sequel is 'an ongoing masterpiece.' In an article issued by The Daily Beast, it is revealed that "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" entails multiple annual releases within the single game title - a sort of subseries that stretches the narrative and overall game development to its limits.
Despite the grim dystopian themes involving extra-planetary politics and its crueler social injustices, developers are able to add one explosive comic element into the mix.
According to a report by ITech Post, the game includes a special trophy called "You Know Nothing." It is important to take note that the creators did not shy away from jabbing some Game of Thrones pun at the main antagonist modeled and dubbed by Kit Harrington.
"Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" is set in a distant future when Earth's resources and living spaces are strained to its limits. Hence, the United Nations Space Alliance (UNSA) manages and oversees a civilization that relied heavily on the surplus resources and revenue of other colonial planets.
The crux of the ongoing strife is the fierce political irreconcilability between UNSA and a militant separatist faction called Settlement Defense Front (SDF). With the addition of UFC champ Connor McGregor among the key adversaries, "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" would have a phenomenal video game success except for its 'cross-platform restrictions.'
