What does Infinity Ward mean, anyways?
I am convinced now, this is how an office works: some men and women don’t do anything in work environments other than wander off to gossip with friends and leave the work for you to do! If they’re not wandering off to gossip, then they’re sitting at their workstations, pretending to work and throwing panic attacks! Don’t complain though, noooooo. Never complain, as that’s an ATTITUDE PROBLEM and they won’t stand for it! And neither will any of the other hens in this house, buster! CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK, say hello to Human Resources! “I need to talk to you of our policies regarding harassment in the workplace. And by that I mean you’re fucking fired.”
Now that I have my misanthropy and angst out of the way, lets talk games. Seen Call of Duty in action? It is like some people at 2015 saw their own MoH:AA, and said, “We can do this better!” And then they formed Infinity Ward, and went ahead and kicked every World War II games ass to kingdom come. Call of Duty is a first-rate achievement. The sensory overload is amazing, and the interaction with intricately scripted action set-pieces is a big step forward for the art form. Whats more, the emotional context of the battles is quite strong here and the consequences of your own successes and failures are readily apparent and meaningful. Till now whenever I’ve been yearning for some offline classic WWII shooter action, I’ve found it in Medal of Honor, or Commandos II. Thanks to Infinity Ward, there’s a new place to get my fix. Game of the Year material.
