Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Stumbles into One of the Most Disliked Videos on YouTube

Over one million people didn’t like the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare trailer, making it the top 10 most disliked videos on YouTube.

Viewed over 14 million times and gathered over 1 million dislikes, by comparison DICE’s Battlefield 1 reveal trailer has been viewed over 20 million times and garnered over 18, 000 dislikes and 1 million likes.

Activision CEO, Eric Hirschberg, commented on the video in the company’s quarterly earnings call last week.

“First of all you got to love the passion of gamers,” he said. “This is an industry like no other, and a fan base like no other and we love that our fans treat this franchise like it’s their own and have such strong points of view about it. There just aren’t many entertainment franchises on Earth that can generate the kind of passion that Call of Duty can and that’s a good thing.”

“Of course we know that there are people in our community who are nostalgic for the boots-on-the-ground-style gameplay, and that’s why we made Modern Warfare Remastered. But we also have millions of people in our community who want to have new innovative experiences in the game each year and Infinite Warfare is going to deliver that. And the good news is this year we found a way to deliver both in one package while keeping our community together.”

Hirschberg went on to cite the reactions around Black Ops 2’s reveal, which went on to become the franchise’s best seller.

In a way Hirschberg is right, Call of Duty videos usually become flooded with hateful comments and dislikes but somehow pull ahead when the game releases. Could Infinite Warfare actually become a success despite all the negativity? Let your opinion be heard in the comments below!

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is set to release on November 4th for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
