Call of Duty series gets third studio - Report

@ aaronfhff123- It'll just be your average fps, just like cod:waw was.

I cant wait for COD7. I got my fingers crossed that it has bullet wounds and gore. If anythign the Modern weapons from MW@ should have put holes in people but they didn't and that doesnt feel rigth to me. Guns=messy bodies and every shooter should have a realistic amount of mess. Flying lead especially when flying the speed it does out of any modern assualt rifle from MW2 should put a red mark or hole in anybodies head. Infinity Ward doesnt seem to get that.

I'm with aaronfhff123. COD5 was way better than COD4 so I'm hoping COD7 will be better than 6

Modern warfare 2 was a letdown... I have faith in treyarch to give us an epic, visceral, violent, and satisfying shooter. bring on COD7!!

space combat games have become really popular like the halo series and red faction series. i think it would be interesting to see them make a futuristic game. Then they'd have them all past present future

My hope is that Treyarch will make a decent COD game with dedi servers, although i'm guessing that's gonna be a long shot

The best reviews that Treyarch received was when they used IW's Modern Warfare engine. This second child of IW cannot put out a game that is better then what IW puts out. They are just milking fans for the money.

Hurr durr Cowa Dooty.

Call Of Duty Space Warfare XII

I would say they would make a Nazi Zombie game but thats Treyarches territory, so im guessing they just make Wii & DS version of COD.

@Kan0nF0dder: iight we got smoother character movements (thumbs twitching, eating, running, aiming, reloading, tackling another character and then stabbing him in the throat, better lighting, more guns, better guns, different locales, interesting use of civilians in the missions (human shields), improved multiplayer is an obvioius one so i wont go into that, there are more but you get the point...like i said all these are subtle differences that you have to pay attention to

well infinity ward games are the only ones that matter to me so thats why i said what i said :)

Deserve's it !!!

@jasper061992 Yah its very scary we may start getting a COD game every 6 months as if every year is not bad enuf

They're going to regret opening up a whole new studio because of MW2. MW2 did so well because people had expections from MW1, not because MW2 was good. However, when they make MW3, people aren't going to remember MW1 again; they're going to remember the disappoint after they bought MW2 and all they'll be saying is "Well at least MW2's hype made it sell!" after firing a thousand employees in 3 years.

Third studio will continue making WW2 shooters. Though I wouldn't mind a WW1 shooter either.

I always stay one step behind the series...but if they get another studio involved to make more then I may stay two steps behind. (Means right now I'm finally preparing myself to get COD5 with some zombie action lol) I want to see a Vietnam one...that would be sweet....Also WW1....and why not I bet there were a ton of older wars in the late 1800s/ early 1900s with England. Why stay on WW2? Modern Warfare was pretty good yes, but you already know they are going to milk this one out big time. Lets get some imagination? Maybe Future also....soo many possiblities, yet they stay the same.

Because making a game with a 5 hour campaign takes up a lot of time... (note sarcasm)

Yeah...All we need more COD games. They could release one every 6 or so months...ha-ha

While I'm not a big fan of the series, it will suck for the millions who are fans if CoD gets milked like Guitar Hero or the Tony Hawk games. Activision has a bit of a bad track record- as profitability goes up, quality goes down.

@ einarabelc5 : Are you STILL on this. Wow! I'd forgotten about this by now. I mean it took me a few seconds to even realize what you were talking about. Whatever though... No offense implied, but you obviously ain't interested in listening. So whatever we were talking about no matter whether this's true or not. You're correct. I just don't have the inclination enough to try and be the more "correct" person in this, it's too much effort for a simple post. Bye.

give them some time, they just finished mw2 and people already want more... give them a break

@ InsertWittyID I can actually see that happening. I think theres been plenty of tension over the Cod series, especially the fact that, well, you know IW sort of created the entire series. However, I'd tottally be in for a Cod in the future, that way IW can spend extra time on MW games.

A third team? Considering the fact that they already have N-Space working on the DS games, doesn't that mean they need a FOURTH team to work on CoD?

theres nothing quite like milking the call of duty name is their...

I have a weird theory. What if, since IW has a huge fanbase that's exclusively dedicate to them and the guys who work there seem to want to separate themselves from Activision and the rest of the CoD series, what if they actually convinced Activision to let them drop the CoD brand altogether and market their products as Modern Warfare games. It is entirely understandable that they do not want to be associated with a franchise that is becoming known for getting milked every year. Activision on the other hand, will see potential in having Infinity Ward doing their own thing every two or three years, while still releasing Call of Duty branded games every year. This could possibly be a new developer that will alternate years with Treyarch. I don't know. That's just a crazy theory that's probably not true.

@BatThink What I find exceptionally funny about that is that the just copied Modern Warfare and threw in Zombies =P It was a good game though =)

@MAILER_DAEMON: Lol, yup. So far Avtivision has managed to not screw up COD, but will their greed drive them to destroy it? I can hear Kotick now, "Our games are are so good, people will buy a new version every 6 months!" Think madden is bad with yearly updates? I can see Kotick doing Bi-yearly updates. XD

If Kotick has anything to say, your next COD game will be pay to play.

I say it might be based around 'task force 141' and be squad based and a rip-off of rainbow six

Come on guys, the psp really needs some good cod games. There is only one cod game on the psp which sucks.

Call Of Duty: Future Warfare 1 The year is 2109....

@ CaptainHerlock I didn't and I won't

@zeniftan Just look at your comment and apply what you just said to me to yourself. What do you think the outcome would be? I'm not taking it on you. I don't even know you. All the information I have is your comment and thus that's what I used to reply. Put your comment on the current context Activision is and how the Industry is shaping and you should realize is complete nonsense. Why do you have to trust Activision on the first place? They don't want you, they want your money.

WAW is still better than MW2. The ONLY thing better about MW1 and 2 is the weapons. Now MW with some bullet wounds and gore and less focus on billion miles an hour gameplay??? IW would take the prize. Waw is sooo much more fun.

if i had to guess i'd say that if the third team isn't doing new cod games they will handle all the port to the smaller sku's like wii, ds and psp.

@ thwart Sqauds like Bf would be great, but they make the games so that 360, ps3 and pc players get simular experiences. As far as i know the max 360 can ever handle a side is 16? making the whole squad play thing almost pointless. If its sqauds you like just wait for battlefield3 on the pc, it is sure to be a huge title for years to come, like battlefield2 is now! alough its old now theres still LOADS of players playing it still, EVEN in the wake of MWF2, imo its down to the huge maps, huge player cap (64v64 ftw) and ofc the fact that it has playable tanks, helecoptor's ect....oh and jets!

the PSP needs some cod love tbh

wow

they should have the third team devoted to handhelds cods.

For all of you who were complaining about how greedy Kotick is and how Activision are ruining video games; how many of you bought Modern Warfare 2? I'm guessing A LOT of you. You reap what you sow.

Isn't two studios enough, Treyarch has only recently made a good COD game in World At War.

What is the point of squads with so few players on multiplayer. They need to have more players allowed then squads would mean more.

I dont really mind having a lot of COD games from different companies. Only if IW stays with the Modern Warfare Franchise, i dont mind, every game was best than the last one, when it comes to single player, i prefered so much the Single player in World At War than Moder Warfare Campaign, the online was identical. If the games are basicly the same then i dont mind having multiple companies doing different games of the same franchise, if one comes out every year i will gladly pay for it

Maybe it'll be a company to create more fulfilling single player story and play modes and let the other companies just focus on multiplayer.

Call of Duty.... Madden Edition 2010, 2011, 2012, etc etc. Hopefully this doesn't start a bad problem like other companies. Rehash games and Call of duty games go stale and money stops rolling. We will se.

Can't wait to say I can't wait for the next cod game again.

modern warfare 3 would have been to quick but im sick and tired if buying old games. i will spend my money if it is modern warfare 3 cause its just fun but now activision is in control with treyarch and now here comes the downside of the call of duty series

Hopefully they'll finally get around to adding a robust squad system. I can't believe they haven't done this yet. The Battlefield franchise has nailed it and every FPS should have it these days especially games like Call of Duty where the warfare should be squad based. Robust squad technology should be added to this franchise before anything else in my opinion.
