From what I can tell, the point of the Frostbite (or Forge Freeze before you upgrade it, as mentioned in the wiki) is not to dish out damage. The purpose of this weapon is to freeze opponents. As mentioned here, you will do minimal damage with the Forge Freeze. However, you can use it to farm a ridiculous number of points: The weapon itself is point farming incarnate. It gives you twenty points per hit and fourty points per freeze. In my head I've dubbed the gun a 'split-beam-weapon'. Essentially, the freeze ray it shoots out can split into three separate ends, freezing up to 3 Zombies per shot. These ends auto target depending on zombies that are within your circular crosshair. Be warned, the weapon may seem like it does no damage but in actual fact it does. It took a lot of testing with a single zombie over the course of an hour but I eventually discovered that Zombies do sustain a tiny amount of damage per freeze. Keep this in mind if you're going hard on one or two Zs. As previously stated the Forge Freeze gives you 20 points for a hit and 40 points for a freeze, with a potential of 3 zombies hit/frozen per shot. If you play optimally and get lucky enough to freeze all 3 zombies every time you fire you could make an upper limit of 30,000 points per 250 rounds, which is how much the Forge Freeze contains. If you got super unlucky and only ever hit one zombie and never froze him you're looking at a lower limit of 5000. Neither of those numbers will happen, but you will land somewhere between the two. The guide also mentions the upgrade to the Frostbite isn't really worth it: Upgrading the Forge Freeze is a pretty useless endeavour. The points it gives out are the same, it has a higher chance to freeze and it has more ammo. By all accounts, you would imagine that would make the upgrade a good thing, but really there's just no point. If you've done things correctly you'll have around 20,000 points after buying the ammo replenish with your tickets anyway, and that's more than enough to get everything done. So all in all, if you're looking for a pure damage weapon, you're probably better off going with a different weapon, but if you want to rack up a lot of points (and have a bit of time on your hands), the Forge Freeze seems pretty handy.

Having completed this Easter Egg, I can tell you that the best strategy (which is also stated in this guide) is to: Run in a circle around the Cosmic Way Portal (the one that takes you to Pack-A-Punch) Run over the upper bride that leads towards the spawn area Run under the lower bridge back towards the Pack-A-Punch portal Repeat By doing this, you will eventually gather all the zombies into a nice trail behind you, so you won't have to pay attention to them too much. Whenever possible, shoot the Alien while performing the above steps. I don't remember if there was a way to tell how much health he has left, but the linked guide above states: The indicator on the boss goes from green, to yellow, to red so you’ll know how much health it has left. It's important to note that you must finish the Alien with a melee attack to his back. After so much damage, he will kneel down. This is when you can perform a melee on his back to get the Alien fuse. Other tips/things to keep in mind: A Wonder Weapon will help you greatly during the boss fight. One is also required to destroy the Alien Ship and thus fully complete the Easter Egg (see the guide linked above on how to do that). Personally, the Face Melter is the best. The pistol you start with (Kendall 44) is actually an extremely good weapon after being Pack-A-Punched. The upgraded version called Baby's Breath, is similiar to the other Zombie games upgraded spawn pistols. You will get an akimbo variant that shoots grenades. This, in combinations with the "Bombstoppers" perk, makes it a deadly combination for taking out a large horde of zombies. You can even shoot danger close to yourself and not be harmed so long as you have Bombstoppers. If you can, put extended mags on this pistol as well to get more ammo with it. One Alien Boss spawns per player in the game. However, if you have a friend or friends help you up to the point before you spawn the Alien, if your friends quit out, you will only have to fight one Boss. Make sure that you are the one hosting the game, since if the host quits, the game will end. Don't forget Mule Munchies so that you can have three weapons! You'll want all your weapons upgraded. Having either a Boombox or a Sentry Turret from the souvenir machines on standby is always nice. I would go for a Boombox as this acts like a Monkey Bomb and distracts zombies for a significant amount of time before exploding and killing them. It could be a real life saver. Since one of the souvenir machines is right next to the Pack-A-Punch portal, it's a good idea to have one Boombox on you and two of the three coins already deposited into the Souvenir Machine. Keep the third coin on you, and when you need another Boombox while fighting the boos, throw it in the machine and get another.

The perk machines are for the most part the same as previous Treyarch Call of Duties. They are renamed, but for clarity, the italicized names are what they were called in previous Call of Duties (and also sums up what they do for the most part). The bold names are what they are called in Infinite Warfare. If there isn't an italicized name, then they are a new machine. Up n Atoms: Quick Revive. In multiplayer, you revive other players faster if they are down. In single player, it will automatically revive yourself if you go down and be consumed. Tuff Enuff: Juggernaut. You can take more hits before going down. Quickies: Speed Cola. You reload your weapons faster and can repair windows much faster. Racin' Stripes: Stamin-Up. Allows you to sprint faster. Slappy Taffee: Increases your melee damage and adds a knockback effect to your melee. Bombstoppers: PHD Flopper. You are immune to your own explosion damage weapons and grenades. Trailerblazers: When you slide, you leave behind a trail of fire. Bang Bangs: Double Tap. You fire two bullets at once. Mule Munchies: Mule Kick. Allows you to carry a third weapon. Blue Bolts: Electric Cherry. When you reload, you emit and electrical field around you that shocks nearby zombies. (Source) It's up to you what perks you want. But Tuff Enuff is almost always a must for later rounds. Bombstoppers is very good on the Spaceland map, since if you upgrade the pistol you start with, it becomes the familiar Mustang and Sally combo (though also renamed). This upgraded gun shoots essentially grenades that explode on contact. This gun is extremely handy when attempting to do the Easter Egg on this map when you have to defend the satellite dishes. You can also check out the Wiki for more about the perks.

If your router is far from your console you'll get packet loss which acts the same way lag does. Try using Ethernet cable or if the game allows you to, modify the amount of data received or the maximum ping for the game.

There is no way to disable the killcam in Core game types. None of the in game options allow for this (checked for myself). In Hardcore game types it is always disabled.

Yes, you do earn keys and XP in solo Zombies. Keys are based upon the round achieved, so higher rounds mean more keys, and that may be easier or harder in solo, depending on your play style. XP is based upon the player actions you take (opening doors, completing challenges, etc) as well as kills. Playing solo should net you more kills than in multiplayer (assuming you make through as many rounds), and you will be making all the purchases yourself as well, so in general you should get more XP in a solo game compared to an equal round multiplayer game.

I always go into the generic multiplayer to get the daily reward, didn't even know you could pick it up in zombies instead? I'm guessing you'd have to go into zombies mode, then select multiplayer to get it to pop.

Using one of my favorite sites for gaming How Long to Beat here is a chart on how long it would take you to beat Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's single player. PlayStyle Polled Average Median Rushed Leisure Main Story 24 6h 53m 7h 5h 58m 8h 08m Main + Extras 24 8h 20m 7h 59m 7h 9h 57m Completionists 4 9h 43m 9h 15m 8h 14m 11h 27m All PlayStyles 52 7h 46m 7h 34m 6h 20m 10h 32m So for CoD:IW if you play at an average pace, you should be able to get around 8 hours of gameplay out of purely the single player. Using the same site for Titanfall 2's single player: PlayStyle Polled Average Median Rushed Leisure Main Story 75 5h 37m 5h 30m 4h 23m 7h 26m Main + Extras 15 7h 40m 7h 6h 10m 10h 25m Completionists 5 12h 25m 12h 11h 17m 13h 56m All PlayStyles 95 6h 18m 6h 4h 41m 10h 54m Which states you would get around 6 hours of gameplay out of the single player of Titanfall 2. So if you are going purely for single player Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has higher average times to beat in all categories so that would be your best bet for single player only content.

The yellow damage indicator is the result of taking damage from reflections. Reflections only come from energy weapons, and bounce off of walls once. A specific attachment, the Ram Servo, can make the projectile bounce a second time. Source: YouTube As the video states, reflections appear to do ~65% of bullet damage. There are no hard-coded stats yet, so this is an estimation.

Those colors represent the rarity of the gun: Base (regular) Common (white) Rare (blue) Legendary (purple) Epic (orange) The higher the level, the more extreme / badass the effects are. In the following screenshot, you can see an Epic gun with the "Eighty Seven" and "Readiness" perks: You can check out this guide for more info on crafting weapons ("Prototypes"), but here's the relevant info: Each weapon has four Prototype Weapon variants, which must be unlocked through normal level progression. Once a Prototype Weapon is unlocked, it must then be crafted using Salvage. The rarer the Prototype Weapon, the more Salvage it will cost to craft. There are four ways to obtain Salvage: Within Supply Drops Dismantling Prototype Weapons Acquiring duplicate items in Supply Drops (items are automatically dismantled for Salvage) Completing active missions in Mission Teams

From this article, it does not mention that you need to pre-order the game in order to get Zombies. It would be in the games best interest not to limit content such as Zombies to pre-orders only, as it may result in loss of sales. And from another article (from the same site) it says that Terminal is bonus content for pre-orders. As the article states: This offer is available with the preorder of any edition of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The offer is also available for digital preorders and for preorders at participating retailers.
