Going hands-on with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer

When you get shot in the Frontier multiplayer map in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, your dead body starts floating in space. That’s because the gravity boots stop working when you give up the ghost.

I got to see this a lot in the first public hands-on session of Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer at Activision’s Call of Duty XP event in Los Angeles. That’s because everybody kept shooting me. I got a few kills myself, but I experienced a pretty good learning curve when using all of the cool features in the game.
