Awesome / Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

• The Jackals' launch to orbit sequences as well as the aerial and in-space dogfights with enemy Skelters, especially against Ace Skelters, which are harder to lock-on and much more durable. The battle against ships as well, both the A-Jak Cutters and Destroyers.
• Taking down a C12, the big walking battle bot in Operation: Burn Water. Especially after you've blown off one of it's shoulder mounted weapons.
  • Taking out its minigun results in Reyes prying a missile free from it's launcher housing, wedging it into the bot's torso, and shooting it as you jump off.
  • Conversely, destroying the rocket launcher has Reyes stab the minigun, causing it to fire uncontrollably. Reyes then forces the minigun into position, resulting in the C12 shredding its own head.
• The entire orbital battle between SATO and SDF fleets after the latter's attack on Geneva. Doubles as a Villainous CMOA for Olympus Mons, who went into the middle of the surviving fleet, soaking up tons of damage, and firing its F-SpAr cannon on them, destroying all but two ships, the Retribution and the Tigris.
• Operation Black Flag is a CMOA for Nick Reyes. He basically went full One-Man Army against the C6 and SDF Mooks trying to cover Riah's escape.
• Villainous Moment of Awesome for Akeel Min Riah, the SDF sleeper agent, at the end of Operation Black Flag. After Reyes manages to catch up with him, Riah ambushes and manhandles the SCAR commander. Then, after destroying the AATIS guns, he uses a knife and rips out the transponder out of his very own body, and destroying it with the knife before succumbing to his wounds.
  Riah: I pity the thing you call courage, SCAR Team One. You are just a man from Earth, dying for a lost cause. Your iron shield burns now. [Destroys the AATIS gun] Your world is unguarded. This...this is true courage.
  [Riah then rips out the transponder from his own body.]
  Reyes: DON'T!
  Riah: [Stabs the transponder] The signal is lost. My fleet lands here...
• After failing to prevent the AATIS guns' destruction as the SDF fleet invades Geneva, Reyes' team quickly turns the table on the SDF by opting to capture Olympus Mons, in order to use it to destroy the SDF shipyard on Mars.
  • Reyes' final conversation with Admiral Salen Kotch as he's on knifepoint on Olympus Mons' bridge, especially this following conversation, if you chose to kill him mid-sentence instead of letting him finish his dying speech, meaning that your Badass Boast is the very last thing he hears.
    Kotch: You lack what it takes to win this war.
    Reyes: I had what it took to beat you, Kotch.
    Reyes plunges his knife into Kotch's throat, killing him.
    Reyes: Captain has the conn.
  • The other possible outcome to the conversation is a villainous Moment of Awesome for Kotch, as he taunts Reyes over his failures and losses before saying his Catchphrase one last time.
    Kotch: Killing me isn't winning. I killed your Admiral. Your iron shield is down. Death is no disgrace.
• The assault on the SDF shipyard on the captured Olympus Mons, with Reyes using the F-SpAr cannon to lay waste to several SDF Destroyers and Carriers as the Olympus Mons lunges towards the shipyard.
• Though it ended with massive losses, the final mission proved that after all the SDF's claims that Earthlings were weak, inferior, and ultimately lacked the courage necessary to win, Reyes and his comrades proved to the SDF that they were wrong on all counts. Essentially, it was a massive Shut Up, Hannibal! from Earth!
  • The fact that SATO forces manages to destroy the SDF shipyard with significantly fewer resources than they have on hand after crashing on Mars, losing their last two carriers, the Retribution and the captured Olympus Mons, but they still manage to get the job done by assaulting the orbital elevator, capturing an SDF Destroyer with jump capability for a quick escape, taking over their control station to activate the Destroyer's weaponry, and destroying the entire shipyard with it.
• Nick Reyes went full One-Man Army one last time, assaulting the control room to activate the Destroyer's weaponry.
