From the fleet hub to the fighters and weapons in Infinite Warfare – Everything in the video!
During a live event by Infinity Ward on Facebook, the two main responsible persons were interviewed about vehicles and weapons. Dan Savage and Sean Byers talked about the various aspects of vehicles and weapons in the game and how they were adapted to the new setting in space.
The Vehicles in Infinite Warfare
At the beginning of the interview, they talk about the Retribution, the largest ship of the SATO fleet. On the Retribution, you as a commander have the option to select the various missions of the game from the bridge. The ship serves as a central hub from which you can jump into the various adventures without a loading screen.
The Jackal is a type of jet that is well-suited for aerial combat. When designing the Jackal, care was taken to maintain the desired “NASA meets Navy” theme. With this vehicle, you can maneuver quickly and safely, as it controls similarly to a ground vehicle.
The last vehicle of the SATO fleet is called Raven. With this “ship,” you can transport crew personnel, soldiers, or ground vehicles to various locations.
Settlement Defense Front – abbreviated SDF – is the opponent in this game, which, however, cannot keep up with the SATO fleet in terms of technology. Because they are lagging behind in the fighter jets, the counterpart to the Retribution, Olympus Mons, is huge and makes the SATO hub look small. In general, the vehicles of the SATO fleet are supposed to look sleeker and more polished than those of the SDF.
The Weapons in Infinite Warfare
Regarding the weapons, Sean Byers states that as a “Call of Duty” player, there is no need to worry about getting used to a new design because the “Call of Duty” look as you envision it has been implemented in this game as well. The challenge with the weapons was to make them feel “real” in this futuristic background. This included not only the choice of materials but also the overall appearance of the weapons.
In the video, you can see the various aircraft as well as the weapons in action. It’s definitely worth watching the entire video to get an impression of the new Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
