Sledgehammer Games Prepares For The Next Call of Duty Title On The Xbox 360 and PS3

It’s time to start looking forward to the next Call of Duty title! Isn’t it?

[GraveLord]

I wonder if they are developing this solo this time?
Maybe Infinity Ward is hard at work on the first next-gen Call of Duty.

[FPSRUSSIA]

lets hope infinity ward is

[Zuperman]

2 things I want back for the next Call Of Duty.

1. Bring Back One Man Army
2. Stay away from Black Ops style.

[animegamingnerd]

not making games anymore

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Real infinity ward is at EA..
Have u played mw3?

anyway I am sure ps3 owners can't wait for their broken port.

[HammadTheBeast]

Let's not. Hopefully Respan brings their game out soon and slits CoD's throat.

[Tr10wn]

@shutUpAndTakeMyMoney

Most of Infinity Wards is not just 2 peoples lol they were the heads of IW but the talent that drive their visions is still in Activition, MW3 was hardly develop by IW they are probably working on another COD maybe next gen but MW3 was mostly a sledgehammer game not IW.

[OCEANGROWNKUSH]

Fuck infinity ward anybody who had any talent at IW doesn't work there anymore... Its IW in name ONLY, dont get it twisted.

[Awesome_Gamer]

Crappy series, Thank God the new one didn't outsell MW3, i can't wait for the day this fad will die.

[Shadonic]

Bet you it looks only slightly better than black ops

[Starbucks_Fan]

hard at work? HA!

[ChronoJoe]

Infinity Ward are a tiny studio now, at least half of their staff (and all key people) left. I doubt their in a position to develop a next gen Call of Duty game on their own.

[ape007]

sadly IW is not the same anymore after their BEST TALENT left IW, IW now is a shell of its former self

[XboxInnovation]

Infinity ward is a dead studio after 90 percent bailed out and formed Respawn Entertainment.

[FanboyPunisher]

either way passing every COD since MW2 because I can see when a games being milked far past its actual value.

Reused code and assets, keep paying for the same shit sheeple.

Or you can wake up and stop wasting money on the same game you already had....

[Rezka]

Oh god

[MidnytRain]

You guys ready for Call of Duty 10???

[BX81]

Nope, I think the series needs a rest. I don't know what would surprise me more. If they said COD is taking a break or COD will have dedicated servers on the consoles.

[jack who]

just keep sh**in em out

[Jek_Porkins]

I have to wonder if they are working on current gen versions while Infinity Ward is working on next get versions? I mean MW4 could be a pretty nice Xbox Next launch title if you ask me.

As long as they aren't rushed like with MW3, I'm in for another round of COD.

[FPSRUSSIA]

two bad Infinity ward isnt as good as there where with MW2 since many employees left.

[Playstation4LyFe]

agree, mw2 was revolutionary and epic, mw3 was terrible..

[Norrison]

@Playstation4lyfe
COD4 was revolutionary and epic, mw2 and mw3 were terrible...

Fixed

[NeoTribe]

Mw2 was no better than any of the others. Reason people hold that one so high is the nostalgic of it and the fact that its the game that got cod popular in the first place. It sux in comparison to the newer ones.

[59fifty]

lol we should replace the word "year" with cod.
"Two cods from now I'll be living on my own"
"Last cod I was in a car accident" ..

[spicelicka]

LOLL...don't give activision ideas

[AusRogo]

Thank you, made my day!

[adorie]

is that... Bobby Kotick in your avatar? :O!

[vortis]

A butt face as Bobby Kotick? Nah, that's much too classy.

[ApolloTheBoss]

Meme in the making.

[sandman224]

Looks like no new console next year. Activision just confirmed it with this post.

[LOGICWINS]

No point in new consoles when the majority of PS3/360 gamers are happy with buying shooters and sports games every year that have been running on the same engine since 07'.

The only people who want the PS4/720 at the moment are the hardcore minority and internet console warriors.

Don't expect the PS4 and 720 to be on the market until 2015. If the the Wii and COD's success has showed us anything this gen, its that most gamers are NOT demanding higher powered consoles.

[sandman224]

You might be right, but I'm one of the few gamers that would love to get a new Xbox next year. I can wait a couple more years for a ps4. But the 360 needs to bring out a new console to get next gen started.

[FarCryLover182]

Well next years COD is probably already almost over 50% completed. I think Sledgehammers will be for 2014 perhaps. All I know is that I was hoping their COD would be "action adventure" and sci-fi and that they'd (ex-Visceral devs) would bring their Dead Space expertise to the series.

[Playstation4LyFe]

would be nice to see CoD space wars lol.. somethin out of whack will happen soon enough. they can't keep doin the same thing every year..

[Playstation4LyFe]

Wonder when they'll stop milking the franchise... they should bring vehicles in, I really don't care what anyone says, make some bigger maps for Ground War and bring in some vehicles online.. id love to see civil war, am. revolution, WW1 and 2. But whatev

[neoMAXMLC]

Agreed. World at War is still my favorite because of how large the maps were, how gritty the atmosphere was and the tanks made things interesting. They should just make a new CoD game based in WWII again. Would be interesting to see all the new features we've seen since MW2 in a WWII setting.

[vortis]

You mean, the exact same game with a WWII paint job?

Yeah that would be interesting.

/s

[neoMAXMLC]

There was no need for that. I find Treyarch's games a good alternative to Infinity Ward's CoD games. They do enough things to set themselves apart from the Modern Warfare series. I would personally love to see Treyarch do another CoD game set in WWII.

[CanadianTurtle]

If their next project is indeed MW4, I think the heads at IW should be slapped across the face. Nobody in their right mind asked for a MW4 after the abomination known as MW3.

If I see another CoD title, I'd better not see a Modern Warfare on the title

[Lockon]

So Activision will release a PS3/360 CoD in 2013...DICE is already working on BF4 for PC/PS3/360/PS4/720.

[first1NFANTRY]

I know this is a little of topic but for the past week i've been playing Dust 514 closed beta and i must say, the game is one of the most ambitious titles i've come across in years. In time it will shape up to be something extraordinary. People should really give it a chance, i mean it is free to play after all.

[ginsunuva]

People keep hoping the next one will be good.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

It would be even better if we didn't talk about or mention a new cod. Especially when a cod just got released a week ago..

I'm tired of COD its an extremely tired franchise that accommodates to the lowest common denominator of gamer with each and every installment.

I know its off topic but it had to be said.

[vortis]

It's not off topic. It's right.

I, too, am too tired to even get into how tired COD has become.

Let the casuals get their hopes up...

[imt558]

You got to be kidding me...

[seanpitt23]

Noooooooooooo I cannot cope with quick scopers in BO2 they dont even look down the sights anymore and still kill you the hit detection must be a massive ball around the player no more for me this gen

[PAYNEinc85]

It will probably be some sort of spin off/ action adventure game like they were planning a couple years back. And if so theres no way it'll sell as well as the last few COD titles.

[stage88]

DEFINATE non-buy for me. MW3 was one of the worst games I've ever played.

[rickybadman]

I have a feeling that IW is going the next gen edition, Sledgehamer is going the current gen edition.

Neversoft is also working on a separate COD title, which will probably be the 2014 COD.

Then they shift to a 3 year/3 team cycle with Treyarch, IW, and Neversoft switching off.

Slegehammer goes back and makes a action adventure title, a

[Smokingunz]

Im not surprised. I bought black ops two and didnt really like it. Blck ops two I think is my last game.

[GammaSix]

Black ops 2 is it for me

[artdafoo]

Step 1: Take Wack Ops 2 engine
Step 2: Do some tweaks to it like spice up the lighting a bit, new character skins, add a couple of new textures.
Step 3: claim your game will be all brand new and revolutionize the series.

[adam_gamesfiends]

Y'see, I have a hankering to buy Black Ops 2 just so I can unwind with a but of dumb multiplayer fun in the evening after a hard day at work. But if you're a month or two late buying it then soon word starts leaking over the next installment and you think "well sod it, I'll wait until that one comes out instead."

This year Hitman Absolution was where I placed my money instead. But I don't hate this cycle of MW/BO games every year... it's starting to feel like Fifa or any of the other EA sports titles. I abstained from both Black Ops II and MW3 and it's likely that, just like the annual sports title updates, I'll continue to abstain from future CoD titles as well in favour of something else.

I mean if sports games can get a yearly update, why not an FPS franchise?

[Dynasty]

Can't wait for the REVOLUTIONARY weapons and killstreaks! It's gonna be 100x better den last years!!11!!!1!

[Deku-Johnny]

Well there's one thing we know for certain about the game. It will be exactly the same as the last one.

[Gamerita]

sledgehammer killed the modern warfare franchise because MW3 was such a disaster & an insult to MW2. if you want to play call of duty then i would say stick to treyarch games,i say the 2nd best studio (treyarch vs the original IW) is better than nothing.

btw any news on the infinity ward guys who left activision & the game that they're supposed to be working on ? it's been few years since they split from activision & formed their own gaming studio.

[daclynk]

More of the same with better graphics. Hardcore gaming!!!

[B-radical]

MW 3.5

[adam_gamesfiends]

Surely you mean MW 0.4 :D

[Commandar_Shepard]

I am really getting sick of CoD. Black Ops 2 had a good campaign but that was only due to player choice, which I doubt will be in MW4, but the multiplayer feels the same plus MW3 was worse.

Gamers out there, spend your money on something that deserves it next year like Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, The Last of Us, GTA 5, Watch Dogs, Bioshock Infinite, Gears Judgement, and more. Just don't blindly purchase a "new" CoD unless it goes through significant changes.
