Nick Reyes is thrust into command of a carrier - the Retribution - when an attack by the Settlement Defense Front cripples Earth’s military power. Space is the backdrop, not the crutch on which the story leans. This is a far more gritty and grounded story than most other sleek sci-fi shooters, it just so happens that some of the settings take place on other planets or in a vacuum. Windows into the bonds between a group of soldiers just looking to do what they need to in order to win the war and save their fellow fighters. Let’s call them war stories then, windows into moments that turned the tides. And yet, it is also one of the most grounded campaigns, clearly having been inspired by the likes of war films such as Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, which, yes, I know is technically not a film. There may not be Kevin Spacey, but Infinite Warfare is more spacey than any Call of Duty before.
