I worked at Infinity Ward for a year and 9 months, and during my time at IW, I have been working as both a gameplay scripter and a level designer. Some of my responsibilities are as described:
GAMEPLAYER SCRIPTER
I worked as a gameplay scripter for one yet to be released coop mission and my non-NDA breaking contributions are as follows:
- Tuning AI behavior based on high level design principles.
- Combat encounter design
- Programming a new gameplay system
- Creating animation behavior tree and adding animation logics for the special requirement of the level.
- Temp UI / animation pass for previz.
LEVEL DESIGNER
For the main campaign I served as a level designer for the following missions:
COUNTDOWN:
- I created the level design for the entire mission with various types of engagement: CQB, long-range, sandboxy open space, and more. It went through several iteration throughout the course of a year. The CQB combat (server room fight) I designed was highly rated in playtests.
- I set created the previsualization of the mission. From lighting to texturing I created the initial look of the level for other departments to continue with.
WETWORK:
- I worked on the previz of this mission blocking out based on collected reference of Amsterdam to create a believable space from all the small details yet readable and playable.
- My another focus is to make sure the gameplay space feels realistic yet works for gameplay purpose.
ALONE:
- I polished the collision and set dressed the level with props at the end of development cycle and squashed many bugs in the level to ensure it shipped on time.
