Ah, I see, you want to be a space conquistador. Find exciting new locations and people to kill in them so you can exploit the resources.

COD Advanced Warfare is 67% off right now, if you're interested in astronomy i think your going to like it alot more than you expect.

It's the first 'single player' first person shooter that lets your play on every planet and moon in the solar system.

Err no. I don't see any reason to buy a shitty game for astronomy. Did you even watch the star wars opening scrolling text that says "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away"?

EVERY planet and moon? Do you even know how many moons Jupiter and Saturn have combined? And you're telling me you think all of them are accurately represented?

I meant "Large" moons, all of the snowballs that make up the rings of Saturn are considered "moons" but there not large enough to land on and explore like the Earth's moon or Jupiter's moon Europa.

They're big enough to hide behind and therefore worthy of a FPS. I think game designers could do cool stuff with exploding snowballs.

Seems like you're pretty flexible on the whole accuracy thing then :colbert:

Exploring the moon would be so, so dull.
I mean I get that it's interesting for science but it's a big ball of dusty rock, as a setting for a game an accurate depiction of the moon would be awful.

In the setting of infinite warfare, the whole solar system has been colonized.

It's full of military bases and civilians, lots of action.

So, not realistic at all, so why get hang up on astronomy?

I think it's realistic as in the planets and moons look like how it's supposed to look like....i don't see why that's so hard to understand.

The developers of infinite warfare put in a lot of time and effort trying to make the solar system authentic.

As I said before, it's the first 'single player' first person shooter that lets you explore the whole solar system, the only game that had that was destiny 1, but that game was "online only", also it wasn't on PC.

Your song couldn't get through one line without a bald faced lie. The Pluto Restoration Front will not sleep while injustice endures.

(Just wanted to talk about this some more)

When the trailer of infinite warfare came out it became the most thumbs down video on YouTube. People were OUTRAGED about call of duty "copying" star wars, and people were saying how star wars should sue call of duty....

But what these people don't realize is infinite warfare is strictly within the solar system, star wars never once featured the solar system or even the Milky Way.

The only FPS that featured the solar system before infinite warfare was destiny 2014, but that game wasn't on PC, also it was online only.

There is really no need to post here if you just want to talk amongst yourselves.
