To combat The Front, SATO is called into action and the events of the game go into motion, featuring a group of soldiers including Captain Nick Reyes (the player character), Admiral Raines, Private Kashima, Staff Sergeant Omar, Nora Salter and more. After years of preparing and building their forces, The Front - led by ruthless leader Rear Admiral Salen Kotch - suddenly declares war by ways of a brutal attack on Geneva. These controlled entities have created resentment, however, that has reared its head as the Settlement Defense Front, a group of insurgents that broke away from the UNSA years before. To defend said alliance, the Solar Associated Treaty Organization was formed to allow for a highly-coordinated military effort that spans not only earth, but throughout the galaxy. When the natural resources of Earth are depleted due to overpopulation, the human race banded together to form the United Nations Space Alliance to expedite colonization and mining of distant planets. Infinite Warfare takes place the furthest in the future the series has gone and features a plot more grounded in science fiction than expected. Half a year later and Infinite Warfare is now out - and the question is no longer if it can defy its pre-release criticism, but whether or not the 3+ million who downvoted it are ready to dine on a delicious helping of crow. It wasn’t because the trailer was bad, but simply because it was a futuristic Call of Duty and the popular opinion was that the series should return to its 20th century roots. The latter, however, had a great trailer that culminated in a space shootout to a cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” As of writing, that trailer has 34,702,484 views, 547,678 upvotes and 3,332,580 downvotes.
The former was more understandable as it had a bland trailer full of stale jokes, yet turned out to actually be a worthy flick full of laughs (despite what popular opinion might lead you to believe). The two most notable instances of this happening this year was with the Ghostbusters remake trailer and the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare reveal trailer. Recently, however, that notion has seemingly been taken to extremes in the age of social media with 2016 featuring a rash of mass downvoted YouTube trailers. If everybody is telling you that something is good or bad, then you tend to believe it is even if you thought otherwise. Since the dawn of time, peer pressure has played a factor in human beings.
