Rumor: Call of Duty Teaser Image Leaked Online, Neversoft May be Developing

An image was recently posted online that shows the date 11-11-13 for what seems to be a teaser poster for the next Call of Duty.

That certainly does not look like a fake. It'll be interesting to see what Neversoft can do on the FPS side of things.

[Jobesy]

I call fake. 11.11.13 is a Monday, COD games always release on Tuesdays, so it would be 11.12.13

[Wingsfan24]

This one was on a Sunday - http://gotgame.com/wp-conte...

Weird, but that's why it's a rumor I guess.

[raWfodog]

Plus it flows better :)

Just like 11.10.09, when MW2 dropped.

[Wingsfan24]

Also, games don't always release on Tuesday. Skyrim was 11-11-11 (Friday)

[Hdz54]

By now doesn't everyone know that 99% of new games release on Tuesdays in NA?

Pro tip: if you're going to post a fake poster or fake release date, look up a calendar to get a Tuesday date. That would add some semblance of credibility.

[evilhasitsway]

midnight release which it will have just because its a cod.

[gta2800]

Why don't games release on Fridays? like Movies? I always hated that games came out on weekedays during school/work. I always wanted games on Fridays so I can play them throughout the weekend lol.

[Old McGroin]

Oh my God!! I can't believe there's going to be a new Call Of Duty game this year! /s

[AzaziL]

Maybe they'll finally just release it on monday by 7pm since we already know that retailers have it by then.

edit: Just sayin, why bother with midnight releases if the store can sell it before regular closing time. saves money for the stores, headache for employees and we get to play our games hours earlier than waiting till midnight. No need to call off work or ditch school because you want to play your favorite videogame at 1am.

[sarshelyam]

Midnight launch festivities for Call of Duty are always the hours prior to the actual...so, it's a technicality I'd say.

[007Bond]

So that means Infinity Ward is on MW4 for next gen?

[AzaziL]

IW has been dead since MW2, less than 50% of the original team is still there and look at how good they did with MW3. Activision should just hand the reigns to Bungie after they finish destiny.

[Soldierone]

I wonder if they are just porting it to current generation while Treyarch works on next generation versions.

Based on the picture, its not future warfare, that kinda sucks. Treyarch did a good job with it. Then again its probably sledehammer working on it, so that explains the step backwards.

[younglj01]

I'm not any CoD fan but I have played a couple of title couple of times.And after see the same engine over and over and over again.Before I continue I'm not knocking the engine bc CoD brought in alot and I mean alot of dough on an 5 year old engine.

Now with the billions you made off CoD its finally time too give it the Next-gen treatment.Black Ops/Black Ops 2 and MW2 are the best CoD games I have played online.

The CoD franchise is an title that could really surprise people next-gen.

[Riderz1337]

NeverSoft - AlwaysHard.

lol

[spicelicka]

LOLLLL I said the same thing the first time I heard that name!!

[SDF Repellent]

no doubt this will be reveal at the Xbox 720 briefing coming up.

[Riderz1337]

That's the perfect way to show off brand new technology! Have a game that runs on a 2005 engine on the Xbox 720. Heads shall explode.

[JeffGUNZ]

They have been working on the next gen COD engine. The rumors I hear is it looks pretty freaking sweet and runs 60FPS. Again, it's just a rumor and I'll believe it when I see it.

[haggishurler]

Call of duty doesn't even look anything special on PC max settings right now.

[gta2800]

@Jeffgunz,

Don't hold your breath on that. Activision doesn't care about making the best looking shooter, they're more interested in getting every penny they can get. They won't invest in making a graphics heavy game. They don't need to. They can release a COD that looks like my ass after I take a shit and people will still buy it.

[AzaziL]

@gta2800

That's what I'm worried about, they may have gotten so lazy that all they'll do is up the textures and add some polygons to the old models.

Or they might actually give us that leap that they did with CoD4 and everyone will praise it. Then they'll take it and re-release it for another 5-6 years.

[stage88]

True, and they'll try and palm it off as an exclusive.

[Gamer-Z]

Please let this series die already nobody is impressed by COD and its dated engine anymore.

[JeffGUNZ]

Except for the millions of people who buy it for Sony and Microsoft. Also, if they launch this game with the nextbox with a new and sexy engine, this series will be revived.

[GamerzElite]

I was playing COD games since COD 1, But after every year same crap lag issue, unplayable multiplayer, I am done with this. Bye bye COD...

[SDF Repellent]

Why would a next generation Call of Duty, or any next gen games for that matter, would run on last gen engines? It will be a brand new engine, just like Unreal Engine 4, that will be used for for next gen Call of Duty game.

[Baka-akaB]

Why would they , you say ? because they would most likely still mostly target ps3/360 and i guess wii u as their main customer base , while having just versions running with higher res on 720/ps4 as they would just be launching .

[EvilFluff91]

What a waste of a developer Neversoft was awesome back in the PS1 and PS2 days but thanks to Activision it looks like they will be trapped making endless CoD sequels. :(

[JackBNimble]

nevermind

[GiantFriendlyCrab]

just another COD military shooter, ugh

[Summons75]

Neversoft...isn't that the people who use to work on tony hawk games? If so will the cod players use skateboards? It will certainly justify the feeling of having wheels on your feel like all cod games do...

[KillrateOmega]

A CoD will potentially be released in November?! Hoowww surprising. My whole perception of reality has been shattered...

But seriously, it seems like CoD rumors start earlier and earlier. I'll get the game, but still.

[Jreca]

Well, neversoft's website is quite explicit about their job in Call of Duty.

[Yo Mama]

This is what pisses me off about developers. Every time there is a new generation of systems, they always "go back to basics". They give us better graphics, but as far as features go, they start over so they will have an excuse to sell the same game the next next year with some upgrades. Every game does it. GTA, MLB The Show, COD, etc. And if that picture is real, looks like it's happening again. I guarantee you this next COD game will be like the first Modern Warfare, then the next one will be like MW2, where they add a little more, then the next year add a little more until by the end of the PS4 and Xbox720's cycle, they'll be scaling it back down again. There's no reason why they can't start off on a new console with the same amount of features as the last game had on the outgoing system.

[cyclindk]

Agree to disagree.

I think what you are saying WAS accurate and still may be, but I have a bit more faith in devs this time around (and Publishers for that matter). That they won't be so stupid (at least not ALL publishers with the reigns on the purse strings) to "dumb down" our games.

It would be monumentally stupid to do so. Example, I never got the feeling the Bad Company series was gimped, or Battlefield 3 for that matter.

CoD, yes, they pull some BS with that series, but hopefully they open their eyes on the next gen.

This gen, at least on PS4, development should not be the hurdle it was last round, with not only graphical increases, but the HD resolution "revolution" which, combined with crappy memory numbers thwarted our games' ability to shine early on. There is NO such excuse now, 8 GB GDDR5, if devs can't work with that, they need to find another line of work.

[cyclindk]

Hmm... COD on next gen hardware.

If the abysmal aim-assist is intact then the game is yet another COD DAY ONE PASS for me.

[Saleem101]

Aim assist makes call of duty kiddies feel like rambow, its time for call of duty to take off the training wheels....

[BattleReach]

Infinity Ward is currently working a new engine and the Call of Duty game for 2014.

[XboxInnovation]

Cod is dead who cares

[v0rt3x]

faaaaaake - http://hmcindie.deviantart.... - and it's hilarious how everyone fell for it.

[evilhasitsway]

i herd awhile back that the next cod would be running a new engine. i hope so cause the same old engine they have been using for like 5yrs is old....

[lawks_land]

Of course there's going to be a new CoD. They release one every year. It probably won't be next-gen too, since they'll want to rush it out in November and catch the biggest audience possible.

Still, sigh. More CoD.

[Plagasx]

PLEASE for the love of GOD! USE A NEW ENGINE!

[imXify]

Neversoft did great with Guitar Hero ( except when they milked it to death in 2009 )

I hope Vivarious Vision/Treyarch are working with them to do the ports on consoles like on Vita/WiiU.

[Unlimax]

Activi$ion .. Kill this Cow already dammit .

[Kinger8938]

sigh :(

[punisher99]

For once I'd love to see them release an innovative shooter. Instead of this mindless run and gun shooting. They just keep proving every year that they have no development talent in their studios.

The front cover for Modern Warfare 4.
