Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare may be set in the space-faring future, but it’s grounded in a timeless good-versus-evil war story.
Developer Infinity Ward’s Jacob Minkhoff and Taylor Kurosaki explained the inspirations behind Infinite Warfare’s single-player campaign, and much of it is drawn from classic war movies, not science fiction.
“We looked at Black Hawk Down,” Minkhoff, who is the Design Director, said. “The theme of Black Hawk Down is no soldier left behind. You fight for the guy next to you. It’s about brotherhood before all else. And then we looked at Saving Private Ryan, and that’s a very, very, very different type of story. Saving Private Ryan is about how Captain Miller, who is a leader — he’s leading a squad of men — he realizes that it’s not about getting home, it’s not about protecting his men, it’s about accomplishing the mission no matter what.”
