They wanted to retain the great features of the franchise while extending it with the reinvention that "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" has brought to the table.
As such, Kurosaki expressed that they wanted a story that involved real human beings, relationships that would extend beyond the events of the game, and one that would give focus to the players and their squad. He told Gamespot that by placing the players into the shoes of a leader, the story could revolve around on how commanding a squad would feel under the pressures of war.
