Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

The guide for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be expanded with strategy sections, similar to the MWR Guide. These strategies are currently empty and will be gathered after the game's release.

Players who have strategies they would like to see included can type them up and send them via email to the author, whose contact information can be found in CON1.

This guide covers the introductory mission, BO01, for Call of Duty: Black Ops, detailing its release context and significance. Although the source text discusses the original Black Ops release in 2010, this adaptation focuses on its relevance to Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare players seeking information on early game content.

The text reflects on the anticipation surrounding the release of Call of Duty 7, later revealed as Black Ops, in May 2010. It highlights the developer Treyarch's announcement, the release of a trailer on May 18th, and the subsequent demand for information from players across different platforms. A particular point of emphasis is the perceived lack of information for Wii owners compared to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 players, despite strong sales figures for previous Call of Duty titles on the Wii.

The narrative then fast-forwards to November 3rd, 2010, when Anna Donlon, an executive producer on Treyarch's Wii team, announced details specific to the Wii version. This announcement reportedly heightened excitement among Wii owners.

Finally, the text concludes by stating that Treyarch has delivered the game to Wii owners, presenting it as a Game of the Year contender packed with content. The author refers to the game as the Wii's "Step Eight," implying a significant achievement and inviting the reader to continue reading to understand this reference.

Alright, let's dive into the heart of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's combat system: the weapons! This guide breaks down each weapon class and individual weapon, highlighting what makes them tick – their strengths and weaknesses. Think of it as getting to know your tools before a big job.

Weapons are rated on a scale from Poor to Great, all the way up to Top. The categories you see in the game's 'Create a Class' menu are the same ones you'll find here, so the order should feel familiar. Just remember, I've got my own opinions, and these ratings are my take on things – they're not set in stone and might even change as I play more.

Weapons I've marked as 'Top' are generally the best of the best. They're usually solid all-around performers with few downsides, easy to get kills with, and they really reward skillful play. But again, these are my thoughts, and your experience might differ!

Now, let's talk recoil. Those 'Recoil Numbers' you'll see indicate the chance a weapon has of kicking in a specific direction. A higher number means a stronger pull that way. If 'Up' has a higher number than 'Down,' expect the gun to mostly kick upwards. If they're equal, it's a coin flip.

Recoil happens every time you pull the trigger. For each shot, the game basically rolls four times to see which direction the gun will kick first, and then it adds any secondary effects based on the remaining rolls. It’s a bit technical, but understanding it helps you control your aim.

Since this is a guide to help you learn, I'm giving you the facts. The real test is taking these weapons out into the game and seeing how they feel in your hands. That's how you'll truly get good.
