Judging by the comments on the trailer, all the negative reaction to Infinite Warfare is coming from the fact that the game takes place in a far-future setting, which includes environments in space and other planets. Today, Activision responded to those adverse reactions.
On an earnings call Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg tried to be positive when asked about all the hate being thrown at the latest Call of Duty:
Hirshberg said he understood fans reaction and desire to have a more traditional, modern-era Call of Duty, which he said is exactly why Activision will be offering Modern Warfare Remastered this year alongside Infinite Warfare.
He went onto say that this isn’t the first time fans have had this kind of reaction; there was a similar outcry of disapproval when the very popular Black Ops 2 entry in the series debuted:
Activision is reporting that “pre-orders are off to a very strong start” for the game and that there are a unprecedented number of likes on Infinite Warfare’s YouTube trailer as well, “the highest we’ve ever seen,” according to Hirshberg.
There’s no doubt much more to be seen of Infinite Warfare, especially with E3 coming up next month. Check out everything we know so far about Infinite Warfare, and how Infinity Ward’s latest could breathe new life into the franchise.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare launches on November 4 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
