Multiplayer in the new 'Call of Duty' game feels like a step backwards

I have something to admit: I'm not the most hardcore "Call of Duty" player around. Sure, I've thoroughly played and enjoyed several games in the series over the years (the original "Modern Warfare" is an all-time great), but these days I skip out on them unless they look super great.

You definitely won't find me complaining about hit detection and fire rate on Reddit anytime soon.

Still, when an opportunity arose to try out the multiplayer beta for "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" over the weekend, I gladly accepted it. Unfortunately, based on my limited time with the game, I'm not so sure this new title will be one of the best in the series.
