When the script is parsed, is it simply translated into native functions, or is there a low-level backend? And will the scripts be able to be developed and 'compiled' (if there is some form of compilation) from VS/#Develop?

 

Thanks.

I guess (note, this is it only a guess), that the only reason to create the possibility of coding in C# for any CoD is, that you can compile it. Otherwise normal GSC scripts would be perfectly fine and NTA had no reason to "port" those script functions to another language.

I guess, that you will create normal assemblies (dlls) via Visual Studio based on some rules (like required init() functions), that do get loaded dynamically via IW5M.

Im guessing this:

Also with C# you would be able to use all other parts of the C# language and not only the gsc-like functions, which would allow you to connect to databases, http calls and so on.(My guess)

Amesome fact, never thought about that, but you are totally right.

Think of InfinityScript a little like IW4M's AdminPlugin

InfinityScript allows access to many gsc functions and callbacks because (correct me if I'm wrong) MW3 does not have a working script compiler, so modding through .gsc scripts is impossible.
