Call of Duty Infinite Warfare review

Launched under a shower of negative feedback has made a strong fan base to never give up the series and sales, after the initial collapse, seem to be back on track, tearing the first place in many countries.

So at Christmas Call of Duty still goes away like the bread and what better period if not January to get on the market the first of four additional content expected for this season?

In a nutshell, the value of production is based on the solid canons now dictated in the past years:four new maps for multiplayer and a new area for zombies, game mode still very much appreciated and much played by all users, even the most hardcore.

Let’s find out the first Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare DLC

THE MAPS

The first of the four maps presented in Sabotage is Dominion, the inevitable remake of one of the most popular settings in call of duty infinite warfare ps4. The old Afghan changes face to adapt to a futuristic style that does not suit her, for a result all in all forgettable. The old concept of the map was designed to give life to interesting fights over the long distance, but this revisitation distorts the original idea because of the powers granted to soldiers with new game mechanics and exoskeletons.

Faster movements, gigantic leaps and a marked possibility of shortening distances have completely changed the strategies making Dominion a map for medium-range crashes.

Certainly they remain some of the historical snipers, but they are easily circumvented and the center of the location, with space ships and wreckage scattered everywhere offering a large amount of covers behind which to shelter.

In the same way of the exteriors, even the indoor areas are uninteresting and lacking in detail, making Dominion the weakest point of the whole package. Noir on the other hand is instead a real pleasure for the eyes but it is also particularly pleasant to play. The incessant rain, which however does not alter the vision of fast fights at close range,

Noir is one of the best designed maps and more successful than Sabotage and could even check if compared directly with the locations proposed in the basic version of  call of duty infinite warfare xbox one.From the mere point of view of the gameplay Noir tries to break the patterns and the usual three-way offer proposed by the maps of Call of Dutyw is forgotten here, presenting a construction that is no longer linear and therefore rather unpredictable.

There are dozens of opportunities to surprise opponents from behind, hitting them from the sides or waiting behind the blind curves of the many corridors.

At the center of the playing area is the usual hot nerve point, a hotbed of deadly fights that accompany the entire duration of the match. Another map with a winning construction, even if the most classic flavor is Reinassance.

The map takes as the setting of Venice and the desire to simulate Ezio Auditore and climb the buildings as in an Assassin’s Creed any really high. Unfortunately, the limited climbing capabilities of our RIGS bring us down to earth, but that allows us to observe the care taken in the construction of the dozens of shops and restaurants that flank the warmer areas with some particularly cared interior, able to give an excellent glance.

Reinassance is a small and cross-channel map, and narrow lanes offer few opportunities for maneuver, again favoring the players with the best reflexes, especially as regards the public matchmaking where the team strategy is put in the background. able to give an excellent glance.

Neon, fourth and last map of Sabotage has several points in favor but also several against.The idea above all is not particularly original and the virtual simulation of a gunfight has already been proposed in many other shooter, even in previous chapters of Call of Duty.

The targets hit, instead of dying, dematerialize before your eyes in an explosion of colored polygons but also the setting that surrounds you provides a dangerous sense of déjà vu. The idea of ​​redigitalizing the cars after their explosion is a nice touch of class but it really can not save an idea that knows a lot about laundering.

There are few winning ideas for what concerns level design, a situation that excessively flattens the combat experience for a simple final comment: forgettable.
