Board and destroy enemy spaceships in 'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare'
Not only does the latest Call of Duty move near-future warfare to outer space, it does so with you in the command chair of a military starship.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare switches things up with its protagonist, Nick Reyes. Where past games in the series emphasized the heroism of rank-and-file grunts, Infinite Warfare explores the journey from soldier to leader.

You can stage an assault on enemy warships, a two-stage process that begins with your Jackal attack fighter moving in to soften up point defenses and enemy fighter screens.

A new, extended look at Infinite Warfare's gameplay highlights the space-based action. The next chapter in Activision's Call of Duty series kicks off on Nov. 4 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
