World in Conflict Infantry RoleThe infantry role puts a lot of demands on the commander. Being the most vulnerable to enemy fire, infantry units have to depend on movement and stealth to survive against enemy vehicles. Able to hide in forests and buildings, infantry units are most at home in the forests and larger cities. Armed with highly effective firearms, they pose a big threat against all other roles if played well.
