New Call of Duty 4 Poster Hints At Incoming Reveal, Four Studios Working On It

DSOGaming: "Remember the teaser website of Modern Warfare 4? Well, it appears that it was valid as a new poster has appeared (kudos to Insomnia’s Psycho_Warhead for spotting it) today, hinting at an incoming announcement/reveal on March 21st."

[majiebeast]

Too many chefs in 1 kitchen is bad just look at Resident evil 6 500 people were working on that.

[iGAM3R-VIII]

Well it is March 21st today and the only thing I have heard about is a fake video that was made --> http://www.youtube.com/watc... . The video was even uploaded today to so I guess this poster was a fake

[blitz0623]

The picture says "The most UNEXPECTED reveal"

Yeah I totally didn't expect a CoD game this year

[HammadTheOne]

Wow this is awesome! Looks like I won't be buying BF4 , this is great! Reeks of innovation, and this time everything will be changed! New engine here I come.

/said nobody ever.

[scotchmouth]

Cue explosions and guys dying

[loulou]

i didn't read that article. but 4 studios must mean a next gen launch title...

activision want every penny/cent

[Winter47th]

I can't wait to break windows and call that destruction 2.0

[dazzrazz]

I am quite surprised you need 4 studios to do a yearly rehash ! thankfully I lost interest in this game after MW2 and saved a shitload of money :)

[HammadTheOne]

You didn't miss much, I traded my copy of Black Ops and sold 2, both were horrible (in my opinion of course, feel free to disagree if your opinion differs).

MW and MW2 were last great CoD's.

[SleazyChimp]

2 teams working on this gen, 2 teams working on next gen.

[Gamerita]

me too after i no longer play cod after mw2 compensation lag on pc is too bad,sucks when game is only playable for people with poor connection. as for fps i may get KZ4 for PS4 otherwise none.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Yeah I'm not buying into the hype. Unless they innovate it and bring the "core" element back into the formula then sure I might be interested.

Until then, COD will always remain a cheap thrill for casuals and hipsters.

[rpd123]

Yeah MW2 was when they peaked. But I borrowed my brothers copy of BLOPS 2 and it's actually a lot of fun. The score streak was a great idea (people aren't focused on kills when there is an objective) and I like the class system. The only problem is the maps are awful.

[JasonXS12]

@HammadTheOne

Totally agree with you, MW and MW2 were the last good CoD games. Black Ops 1 and 2 and MW3 were all trash, to me, that's when the rehashing of the same product started occuring.

I'll hold my judgement on whether this is real or not for when GDC occurs but to me the trailer looks to have too much production value for a fan-made to me.

[azshorty2003]

Same. Last one I purchased was MW2. So glad I stopped and never looked back.

[Jek_Porkins]

Could be two teams working on current gen versions and two teams working on the next gen offerings. No way does Activision miss out on the new console launches. Which means they'll need versions for Wii U, PS4, Xbox 720, Xbox 360, PS3, PC and probably portable versions.

[BrunoM]

What people ain't getting is that the why of it being MW4 ..

The big break for cod was cod4 on these gen (ps3 xbox360)
So they are going with MW4 to break in to the new gen the ps4 and xbox720, 8 what ever name ..

So is a rebuild of the engine the why of so many studios and a revel no one is waiting for hummm who knows the final game of march madness or it will be the shown at the revel of the 720 that I'm not sure of

But they wanna try and enter the next gen with a bang

[sinncross]

As long as the PSV gets a proper entry this year, I dont really care how many studios Activision needs to use to make a single game in a yearly franchise.

[Hdz54]

I wouldn't count on it..

[solid_warlord]

I predict the next CoD to be laggy as the last one. I also predict that haters will hate and still buy it and help it sell over 20 million AGAIN. I also predict that it will outsell Battlefield 4.

[Mathew9R]

After the failure of BO2's campaign story... I've said to myself to never ever get another COD game.

[solid_warlord]

@mathew9r ive heard many people say that include myself. They all end up buying CoD cause lets face it. All other games are preety much shit online aswell lol. CoD is laggy especialy BO2. Every year people come out with excuses such as "this is my last CoD", "CoD will die this year". Yet, CoD seem to break record sales every year. It sell 20million plus every year, thats many times more than what other high rated games can match.

[joecanada]

Ya fool me once shame on you .. Fool me mw3 , black ops , black ops2 , waw , shame on me!!!! Not this time you fn lag peddlers with your rehashed shit ... Not this time . Bring on bf4.

[camel_toad]

Wow I really hope hope this one has guns.

[guitarded77]

I heard it will, but you'll never get a chance to use them because a flying fortress will kill you as soon as you spawn.

[Mikefizzled]

It worked for Far Cry 3 though?
Ubisoft Montreal
Ubisoft Massive
Ubisoft Reflections
Ubisoft Shanghai
Ubisoft Red Storm

That game turned out amazing.

[OpieWinston]

Far Cry 3 had a lot more time put into it. Ubisoft are amazing developers.

Ubisoft > Infinity Ward/Treyarch (PUT TOGETHER)

[guitarded77]

A big staff has it's advantages and disadvantages. I'm more concerned with multiple studios as opposed to lots of people. The problem with multiple studios is they are in different cities, and it makes it much more difficult to get all the teams in the same mindset. Large teams at one location have their advantages too. The one thing that's tricky is finding balance on any size team.

[alb1899]

The un expected is not the game: is that will launch with the 720 and ps4 so what you will see is a COD for the next gen. I remember like today that COD was the first game or good game that was abalible for the 360 at launch and everybody was buying it and amaze by the game.......of curse when you have this good experience you want more, so that's one of the whys this franchise have the success of today.

[ZombieKiller]

i can't wait to see the clusterfuck of confusion due to their lack of innovation when they call this game Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, when there's already a Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.

That's it. keep shitting these games out....

[TheFamous1]

First thing that I thought of when I read this.. oh well, Call of Duty has been shit since Call of Duty 4 anyways.

[IAmLee]

Best thing is, they'll probably add 2 new guns, 3 killstreaks and label it a brand new game.

[streeks1984]

Is it fair to say that we will see more of the same like we see EVERY YEAR from them. I mean come on folks some of you gamers need to wake up.

[d0nT wOrrY]

4 Studios yet the game will be the same.

[Upbeat]

weird how 2 people disagree with you because you are 110% correct, people think its a whole new game when they change the look of a few guns and add some new equipment..

[listenkids]

No such thing as 110%

Regardless, this could be something different in terms if setting, gameplay mechanics and what not ( no one knows) They're decent games, with as many releases as Dice products with easier server access, patches whenever issues and no forced online pass, but gets shunned. Ok, internet, stay classy.

[Upbeat]

@listenkids, first of all you name makes you sound abit of a pevert and there is no such thing as " in terms if setting" doesnt make sense.

thing is you think its good when they patch things up, well if they tested the games properly first then they wouldnt have to create a new patch every 3/4 weeks. duh

[Ravenor]

It's a little bit different when you have that many people banging away at your game, Counter Strike for years and years had patches pushed out on a regular basis.

Call of Duty does not deserve the scores it has received in long while. But to downplay it as something less than a solid enjoyable shooter, with a smooth framerate is pure snobbery.

[listenkids]

A spelling mistake is a little different from a false quote. No game goes live bug free, you know this being the intellectual you are, no developer can foresee live events from millions of gamers playing a game online.

Try harder next time, retard.

[sinjonezp]

@d0nT w0rry #2

I think the formula for cod is so static; resulting in run shoot kill - run shoot die: with an occasional dive, prone, scorestreak, and camp. I like what DICE is trying to do. They are developing innovations through multiple combat facets that makes the warzone feel like a war zone. While I have played many hours of all cod games, its really time for a change. I hope with all of these studios working together, some form of true innovation transpires...HOPEFULLY..

[Robochobo]

Modern Warfare will have sequels for days. Best bet is that MW4 will be set between CoD4 and MW2 where Price goes missing and is found in the Gulag. Although they could just say F that and decide to make yet another villain with which you kill.

[Derekvinyard13]

Dam another one already

[clintagious650]

Yeah & no complaints about it being milked yet 2 god of war games on the ps3 & they make it seem like theres been a god of war game every year lol. Smh

[HammadTheOne]

2 on PS3 for GoW.

Yet 6 CoD's on PS3. Big difference. And number 7 coming up.

[trenso1]

Actually 8th cod3 was on ps3 aswell

[matrixman92]

"The most unexpected reveal"....lol k

[spicelicka]

lol, maybe it'll be a racer, i would not be expecting that!

[mynameisEvil]

Modern Wheelfare 4?

That'd be... unexpected. Especially since I wouldn't remember Modern Wheelfare 1, 2, or 3.

[matrixman92]

its gotta be modern warfare karting

[Enate]

An yet they still can't seem to get the networking right so that when I shoot first I don't end up dying to someone facing the opposite direction.

[HmongAmerican]

yeah, thats the only problems with Black Ops 2. Seen like if you have fast connection they punish you. I have Xfinity powerboost.

[Ravenor]

I've had Rogers Ultimate (Canadian) for years, 150Mbps down and 10Mbps up and haven't had latency issues.

But hey, it's totally networking issues.

[Enate]

Ravenor for one you have internet connection faster then about 96% of the united states an you live in Canada so there are some big differences. I have a perfectly capable internet connection of 60mbps down and about 25mbps up an can stream any game over twitch no problem. So yea maybe you don't have that issue but a large enough of the fan base does for it to be a problem.

[a_bro]

"The most unexpected reveal" -____-

[CarlosX360]

It's not typical of Activision and co. to reveal a Call of Duty title this early. It's usually either April (next month) or May. Unexpected is right.

[spicelicka]

Being earlier than expected isn't "unexpected", and 8 days before April when it's "expected" to be announced isn't some crazy break of pattern.

[CarlosX360]

This reveal trailer wasn't the actual reveal. This teaser site was the reveal before the trailer reveal. A screencap that looks eerily like a Modern Warfare title? That's reveal enough.

It's not really 8 days before April, try 3 weeks before April. So, YES, it is a break of pattern. Because like I said before, reveals are usually a April/May staple. Late April/Early May to be precise.

[Intentions]

Maybe we will soon see two CoD games a year lol

[iGamerZero24]

This franchise makes me throw up in my mouth.....so redundant and so flat in the dynamics of game play......

[Gamer-Z]

Please for the love of gaming stop supporting COD

[Ravenor]

For the most part, I don't think N4G does. But the world outside of this small little bubble does, and they don't particularly care what you think.

Call of Duty is a perfectly fine game, it looks fine considering the framerate, it plays fine and the community supports that. It's not like all those people who play CoD and only CoD are going to say "Oh, no CoD? I guess I better give Monster Hunter 3 a try!" They are going to look for something similar to CoD or just stop gaming altogether.

lol, "for the love of gaming" get off your high horse, gaming is many things to different people.

[OpieWinston]

lol you had me laughing at you when you said "Call of Duty is a perfectly fine game"

What Gamer-Z is trying to say is that CoD needs to have a reason for them to put a bit more time and effort into their games, that's a big problem with CoD.

BO2 didn't break sale records, so maybe they'll improve. Either way I know that my friends and I will just spit on CoD MW4 when we see it.

[0neShot]

For the love of gaming, if you don't like the game just ignore it, the problem with you haters is that you keep coming and finding out whats going on with the game you don't like. This makes you nothing more than a loser.

[BALLARD32]

Call of Duty 4? Got me excited for a remake. I am disappoint.

[aPerson]

But it WILL be a remake...

;)

[xboxtreefitty]

yep that's why they can't get a bad rating. ;)

[BALLARD32]

Well played, sir. Well played.

[MooseWI]

Well the date has kinda came and went already, not much time left it the day...

[minimur12]

'hints at a reveal' ............ announce release date.

[Xx-ADITYA-xX]

Oh god no just fucking stop, give it a break

[Gamer-39]

I hope this Modern Warfare 4 next-gen, using new engine and Ghost returns.

[CarlosX360]

If you bothered to see the video... you'd know that they ARE hinting at Ghost making a return.

[madmike956]

HOW ABOUT A CALL OF DUTY 5 INSTEAD

[Pillsbury1]

It's not a secret or something unexpected when it comes out every year like clockwork. Only 3 things are certain in life: death, taxes and a yearly call of duty.

[InkSix]

I bet mw4 or bo3 will piecemeal guns as well as maps...

[CPTN MITCHELL]

No not again Please

[Bonerboy]

"YAWN" I cant figure out why people still buy this rehash. Go back to WWII already.

[Gorilla_Killa_X]

This is obviously a joke poster someone made because an annual COD game will never be "the most unexpected reveal." The most unexpected reveal would be to reveal that there will not be a COD this year.

[CarlosX360]

Once again, it's not usual that Activision allows for a reveal this early. It's usually either in April, or May.

[maddfoxx]

Oh please, it doesn't matter what time of the year they announce it, we already know it's coming. April is a little more than 10 days away, so its not really that early.

[CarlosX360]

Actually, this "reveal" had a whole month before this reveal dropped. I can't believe you can't even understand that. The reveal started on the second week of march.

And, the reveal is usually late in April, so this difference is 1 or two months. That's a huge difference if you ask me.

[latinillusion81]

"said no one ever" joke is getting old.

[Liamabob]

- said no-one ever.

[kenoh]

Never bought "CoD" never will!!

[rickybadman]

Why the fuck do they need 600 people to make a COD game. SMH

[clintagious650]

I hope this game burns lol. Tired of this garbage azz series. Sorry COD fans but this franchise is weak. I see my little playing zombies all the time but the zombies look like crap. I told him go play left for dead but he said, "But all my friends are playing zombies on blackops 2" I might break his game one day & if he buy another ill break his controllers lol.

[samekratos]

u freakin noobs suck.

[Hufandpuf]

I thought the MW series was over :|

[HyFackingDro]

who the f is still surprised by a new cod game, hey add me to the list of recognized contributors because I'm about to break ground here, this just in... COD BO 3 out November 11th 2014. You're all welcome!

[BladerunnerZX]

I lost what little interest I had in Call of Duty after Black Ops 1 - I liked btw.

Maybe next gen if these lazy Activision developers get off their ass and create a new game engine for COD.

Im sick of playing Call of Duty 4.5 Ver.8

[Adropacrich2]

even Activision knows the bubble will eventually burst on this and they'll rather wisely do as much to sustain it as long as possible. I really can't blame them for taking advantage of people's hunger for the franchise. People keep buying them and it's rather funny I think that Bobby continues to take the p!ss. Respect to the man

The fortunate truth however is that these things cave in on themselves which considering how much influence this commands on all games devs it seems, that surely what the industry needs. A big hole left but one that is from an audience not really heavily into gaming as such as it is into COD
