It takes an army to make a Call of Duty game. That’s why, over the past five years, Sledgehammer Games has staffed up to 225 people who have taken over an entire floor of a big office building hidden away south of San Francisco.
In a recent AMA, Sledgehammer Games painstakingly ignored every single one of the dozens of Modern Warfare 3 SBMM comments and questions,
So what's the problem? Are streamers being matched with actual competent players and getting destroyed without their cheats?
No, the problem is a player get matched with all other below average team mates and another team is 1 average player the rest players above average ... its like having a team of pro vs a team of newbies this was all leaked through patents you can play with friends and it get more balanced, but then everyone is just camping and the only way to win is well camping which in turn is well not anything close to fun.
Years ago, Sledgehammer Games was working on a third-person Call of Duty game set during the Vietnam War. But it never came to be.
Former director at Activision, Bret Robbins, revealed that Advanced Warfare 2 had a working prototype, but it was eventually shelved for COD WWII.
That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.
I still prefer CoD based on historical settings or in near future settings(like CoD: Ghost) ... even though I liked infinite Warfare's campaign ... it was top notch
A lot of people who never played a shooter prior to like 2012 get really mad about anything that isn't a modern combat game.
Very good read, I remember Glen Scofield co-founder of Sledgehammer games became real popular when he conceived and developed the original Dead Space (that was a great game at the time)he decided to leave EA and form his own studio at Activision. I think we will finally see the fruits of his labor. This COD could finally break the franchise out of its funk if what this article says is true.
The future of video games is story, atmosphere, and character developent with relationships, this is what makes The Last of US one of the greatest of all times. Our hobby is getting diminishing returns in the graphics department year after year so the future is the potential to create worlds and characters we care about. Good Luck Sledgehammer hope you can achieve your goals.
