Call of duty: black ops cold war

This is the generic reveal trailer for the game, but I recommend watching the multiplayer reveal instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Um0RShjio (Unfortunately, it’s age-restricted so it can’t be watched embedded on my website)

Shortly after launching Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, I joined the Tech Design team working on gameplay features as support for the larger Multiplayer team. I eventually transitioned back to engineering as an Associate Gameplay Engineer working almost exclusively as part of the Multiplayer team. My responsibilities did not change during this transition from design to engineering.

I was responsible for implementing the gameplay mechanics for various Lethals, Field Upgrades, and Scorestreaks. Listed below.

COMBAT RECORD/Medals/ScoreEvents

I was responsible for setting up hundreds of various gameplay events (E.g. Double Kill, After-Death Kill, Two Birds One Stone) to trigger:
– Score Events (gifting a player score towards earning their scorestreaks)
– Medals (achievement like awards recognizing that a player did something interesting)
– Combat Record Stats (data about a player’s performance history with all the various weapons, grenades, scorestreaks, vehicles, etc.).

I was solely responsible for the Multiplayer Combat Record, but also did a majority of the score events/medals for the Multiplayer game modes.
