This will be the 4th time in a row i get kinda interested in playing another COD, then see / try beta and just lose all interest as i remember why i stopped playing them.
Im kind of over the types of campaigns they do as well.

My only hope is for a good campaign. I may or may not pick it up for the Modern Warfare remastered campaign, but I hope Infinite Warfare can stand on its own in terms of a decently paced single player portion. I don't think so though, every COD campaign has pretty much sucked since... I don't know.... a long while now. Black Ops III was insultingly awful in that regard.
I haven't really enjoyed COD multiplayer since the original Modern Warfare. I will admit it will probably be fun to revisit that in the remaster, though.

I pre-ordered the $79 one for MWR.. but likely won't pick it up now.
BF1 is just too much fun, I'm sure to get enough use out of that to wait for a sale or discount.
I have hope that IW will have a good single player campaign, but who knows at this point.

A handful of YouTube channels are expressing their distaste to it. I've also met nearly no one who is feeling it for IW but MWR is getting alot of love.

No buy for me after the Beta. I may pick it up later but I think I'm just done with COD games for now, so many things about them rub the the wrong way. They have just failed to fix major things that me and a lot of people have been asking for for years. I'm getting TF2 and already have BF1.

Have to agree with a few of the posts here, I personally purchased the 'deluxe edition' and was pretty hyped coming off BO:3 but I really couldn't get anything going in the beta, the spawn points were terrible but hopefully they can adjust a few things in time for launch, if not it'll of been worth it for MW:Remastered and a IW campaign run, at least that's how I'm going to justify it to myself.

I think the yearly releases made me burnt out on the COD games
I normally would jump at the chance of a space focused game where you are on other planets, but I still havent finished Blackops 3 campaign and it feels similar in being high tech futuristic stuff.
So wont be buying it until $30 or less, since its the most exciting setting of a COD for me, just got burnt out on the annual releases

Drift0rs review of the MP Beta. Brings up some very valid points.

When Zombie Youtubers played it at CoD XP they were overall positive about it.

Interested in campaign but it probably won't be long enough for me to drop $60. That mp beta was awful. I never want to play that shit again. So I'm in the wait for sale camp.
From what I've seen and heard, it should be a lot friendlier to newcomers and it has a lot of nice QoL additions compared to Black Ops 3 (group-buying doors, perk returns [so you can still change perks after picking up 4, without having to go down and lose all of them], stuff to do while dead instead of just spectating, an easy way to buy your lost weapons back after returning to life, a way to gift points/money to other players who need it more, wider areas for navigating around zombies, etc.)
I didn't expect much after the reveal, but it sounds pretty good.

There's been so little of it shown so far I don't know what to think.
Hype at zero until in depth reviews hit.
I played four-ish hours of the multiplayer beta.I just don't think I like the futuristic combat - like it feels undeniably like COD but it just didn't vibe with me.
I literally just re-installed Black Ops 1, and I'm just feeling heavy nostalgia for when COD was simpler and wonderful.

This would be really enticing for me. I've tried to get into Zombies across a couple different games (most recently after foolishly buying the season pass for BO3) and never gotten past the "I don't know wtf is happening but shooting guys doesn't seem to be working well anymore oh shit I'm dead" phase. Personally I wish they'd make a zombie experience with less of an emphasis on surviving forever with more and more complex requirements and more on a casual coop experience with a guaranteed conclusion. Something I could play through repeatedly while relaxing without feeling like I'm committing myself to hours of increasing intensity.
I played through Black Ops again recently, really enjoyed it. Vorkuta is one of my favorite fps missions and a great example of what Treyarch did right with the CoD brand.

Zero hype. Which is a total bummer for me. The beta was really a huge disappointment.

My hype for BF1 and TF2 far, FAR outweighs the hype I have for Infinite Warfare. And MWR has me more hyped than any of those
Well, I don't think they're changing the basic structure of zombies like that, but they're including stuff like a tutorial when you try it solo, and the QoL stuff I mentioned in my post to make it more possible to have a comeback after messing up.
Yeah, I didn't think they were, just mentioning some pie in the sky ideas. I'm looking forward to the changes you mention regardless.
It's funny because so much of his complaints were focused on the oddball weapon upgrades. These are something I'm really looking forward to because it mixes it up so much. I get why the uber serious people might not like it, but I enjoyed what I tasted.
The whole complaint of you can't see what the guy has as he's shooting at you is pretty weak. I'm not saying it doesn't matter, but for casual play who cares. Surely there is going to be an arena mode or pro ranked mode. Take your try hard attitude into that realm. Casual tdm is supposed to be casual.
Don't get me wrong, I get why he's irked. Those elements don't bother me a bit and actually have me excited.
After playing the beta, adapting to the mechanics, I had a pretty decent time with it. All of my bros that I always play with hate it though and this is surprising because they love everything call of duty . I just ended up calling Sony and getting my 80 dollar refund off of my digital preorder . I'll just wait until the remastered is separate
Some of his points are not very well thought out. This video addresses those points, and overall gives the beta a fairer, but still critical examination.

Well after I purchase every call of duty since cod 3 this is the first cod that I canceled my pre order and maybe I'll buy this game next year when Activision sells this game cheaper on Xbox store around September. I and my friends are really enjoying Battlefield 1.
A good video and brings up lots of good points while addressing Drift0r's points of contention. I'm sure it will go ignored though because the majority will flock to the videos like Drift0r's that justify their own negative opinions of the beta.
Yup. Still find the complaint about not knowing what the enemy player is using to be a baffling one. Outside BO1 as mentioned in the video linked in the post you quoted- you've never been able to tell what perks or anything the enemy player is using till your dead. Even then I can't remember if most CoD even show the enemies perk in the kill cam.

I've been picking up COD games on and off since the release of MW2. After Black Ops 3's campaign bored me to tears last year and the realisation that I don't really enjoy the series anymore really set in, I promised myself I wouldn't be buying this year's instalment.
The last time I really got into the multiplayer was BO2, but I think I may just be burned out on COD multiplayer in general.
Both Battlefield and Titanfall look like more enjoyable offerings to me currently.
If MW ends up for sale independently of the IW game, I may pick it up down the line.

Where did you get that sales figure? Activision has not divulged actual sales numbers since BO2.
Same. People sending the wrong message and then will complain after how X thing exists, etc.
yeah this has put my hype back down to just simmering. Maybe I just want more Blops 3. The rig stuff is less appealing than the specialists to me and weird gun perks stuff seem not like something I want.
