Infinite Warfare is basically and for what it can do, a scripted action version of Star Citizen. Most of all, though, it was a glimpse of a game that could have been. Or, to put it another way: normal Call of Duty game time. I was pretty done, unless I wanted to start again on a higher level right away.
