Death is inevitable in Call of Duty multiplayer. But you can always find ways to survive longer in a multiplayer round, and we caught up with the creators of\u00a0Call of Duty: WWII<\/a>\u00a0to glean those tips for this year\u2019s return to boots-on-the-ground combat.<\/p>\n

The gameplay this year is far different from last year\u2019s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, where you could double-jump into the air and shoot down on unsuspecting noobs (new players). You move at a more deliberate pace through terrain with a lot of cover, and you have to use the right weapon at the right time. So far, with a couple of days of multiplayer combat behind me, I\u2019m happy to report that I have a better kill-death ratio in multiplayer than I did with Infinite Warfare.<\/p>\n

(Here\u2019s our other\u00a0coverage of Call of Duty: WWII<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I attended a review event for Call of Duty and interviewed Michael Condrey, studio head and cofounder of developer Sledgehammer Games, and senior producer Mike Mejia. They gave me some good advice for navigating through the Headquarters social hub as well as staying alive longer in multiplayer.<\/p>\n

The game has new modes like War, where you have to team up with your friends and accomplish a multi-part mission such as building a bridge and escorting a tank to destroy antiaircraft guns. It also has a unique Divisions system that segments players into different kinds of roles and weapons.<\/p>\n

The game comes out on November 3 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can read our tips for survival in the edited\u00a0transcript of our interview.<\/p>\n

GamesBeat: If you\u2019re trying to figure out a role to play in multiplayer, what decisions do you make that will be in alignment with that role? For me, I\u2019m not too fast or accurate. In that past that means I get a light machinegun and try to camp out playing fire support. Here, what sort of choices do you want to start making?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike Mejia:<\/strong>\u00a0Everything starts with your division, enlisting in that division. That\u2019s the core choice you have to make. Once you make that choice, based on the gameplay style you want to go into battle with, you start to look at your class and your loadout. If you\u2019re an armored guy, when you\u2019re making your choices in weaponry, you want to make sure that aligns with your division so you can get the most out of that weapon.<\/p>\n

GamesBeat: That\u2019s something that past players aren\u2019t as familiar with, right? That a division is associated with a specialty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mejia:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s a brand new feature. It redefines the create-a-class system for Call of Duty. Division drives your choice in how you want to play, and how that ties to your weapon.<\/p>\n

Michael Condrey:<\/strong>\u00a0Divisions are meant to encourage a particular type of role, more powerfully than in any create-a-class in the past. You can consider the flexibility you want in determining your soldier\u2019s loadout with a play style. Each division is set up to have a role. You sound like an armored guy. In this case, armored is set up with an LMG. He\u2019s a hold and suppress sort of role-player. His skill is built around taking less damage. It\u2019s perfect for objective players.<\/p>\n
