The newest Call of Duty game, Infinite Warfare, looks like a bit of a disappointment. It’s not the game’s premise, or the direction that the series is taking- though that is apparently a point of contention among the fans, too. No, the big problem here is just how the game looks– especially after the mind blowing reveal of DICE’s Battlefield 1, it looks decidedly last generation. Arguably, it does not even look as impressive as the previous Call of Duty game, the Treyarch developed Black Ops 3.
However, according to Infinity Ward, Infinite Warfare is using some kind of unique technology, that we aren’t privy to yet. However, this new technology will be revealed later- possibly after E3.
What the tech is is currently unknown. It’s entirely possible it is what is enabling the kind of seamless gameplay across land based and space combat that we have seen in Infinite Warfare‘s trailer. Hopefully, it is also something that is currently being worked on, so that the final game looks better than what we have seen so far.
