Interesting details on this year's installment.

'Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare'

Lat week, Infinity Ward—developers of "Call of Duty," "Call of Duty 2," the wildly popular "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and "Call of Duty: Ghosts"—released a trailer for their next project on the official "Call of Duty" YouTube page. The next installation in the series will be called "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare." For fans of the series, there are a few things in the trailer that are worth a closer look. Some things in this article have been announced by the developers themselves in an interview.

You are not a recruit. In many of the "call of Duty" games, players start out as the new guy on the field. Though this is an obvious go-to move, putting players through a basic training simulator, it's been done enough times in the series that most players are ready for button prompts. In an interview with PlayStation, Taylor Kurosaki of Infinity Ward spoke on the game's protagonist, "what we tried to do that's a little bit different is, again we talked about the theme of leadership. Lt. [Nick] Reyes is a squad commander. He is a tier one special operations operative who has a squad of operatives under his wing. They are pilots, they are commandos kind of all-in-one. And he goes, throughout the events of our story, he goes from being this squad leader to being a ship's commander."

Robots? It might be that a mech suit like the one from "Advanced Warfare" is in the game. But some frames in the trailer show very clearly that there will be robots in "Infinite Warfare." Whether it's the former, the latter, or both, players will definitely have to fight against at least one robot as a very short section of the trailer showed it grabbing and attacking the player.

Grapple shots, making their first appearance in "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," are back for this installment. The difference, however, seems to be in the perniciousness of it. in multiplayer, it could be used as a one-shot-kill attack. In the trailer for "Infinite Warfare," the grapple shot can be seen pulling an enemy closer before a lethal melee attack is used to finish them off.

Another cool weapon Jacob Minkoff of Infinity Ward touched on in an interview was the Seeker Grenade. According to him this Seeker Grenade, "is this like spider bot that runs out and [chases] down enemies." It is a cool sounding weapon, but whether or not it feels like it belongs in the "Call of Duty" series is yet to be seen.

With the new "Call of Duty," Infinity Ward will be introducing a seamless game play experience. According Minkoff, players will be able to be engaged in a firefight, call their personal Jackal space craft, take off into space, engage in a dogfight (yes, flying a ship is going to be a thing, too!), dock on the flight deck of the Retribution mother ship, walk to the control room and select the next mission they want to complete without a single loading screen.

This will also integrate the new zero G mechanic. Gunfights will utilize both the standard "boots on the ground" gunfights we know from previous titles and zero gravity gunfights as well. Reyes will have the ability to exit his Jackal while in space, have a gunfight on the hull of an enemy ship, breach the ship and transition to a standard gunfight while inside. So theoretically, a player could see quite a bit of zero G combat.

There is a ton more to uncover in the trailer and interviews if this is a game you're excited about. I just picked out the bits that are more interesting. With E3 around the corner, we can expect a steady stream of information for us to wet our collective whistle with. But, until we get word on a beta, the videos will have to quench our thirst for the next "Call of Duty."

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.
