Sledgehammer staffing up for 'next-gen Call of Duty game'
Sledgehammer Games is actively recruiting in a bid to strengthen the development team working on a next-gen Call of Duty game.
Earlier this week, parent company Activision posted more than ten Sledgehammer job adverts across a range of disciplines including art, design, animation and engineering. Multiple job ads note that the studio is "working on a next-gen Call of Duty game".
Formed in 2009, California-based Sledgehammer originally worked on an unfinished third person Call of Duty game before being drafted in to help Infinity Ward complete Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
While the nature of its new game remains a mystery, Sledgehammer general manager Glen Schofield told us in October 2011 that he thought the studio would work alone following its MW3 collaboration with Infinity Ward, the studio primarily responsible for 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts.
"This game has allowed both Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games to hire, and we hired really strong teams, both of us," he said. "We needed to come together on this one, but since then we've both grown, we're both over 100 people now.
"Initially we weren't fully functional because we had to learn a new engine," Schofield added. "Now we have, I think the best thing that could happen for Activision would be for us to both go off and make our own game. Whether that's a Call of Duty game or not is up in the air. I plan to continue working on Call of Duty."

MumpsVerb A second world at war would be amazing
I agree, that would be amazing.
if cod were to release WaW they would ruin it. Like alot of people still play cod but the true ***** who have played since the very first COD now that there just in it for the money, then again why wouldnt they.

FlutterBatHonkIdea Why can't they just make Call Of Duty Modernwarfare again but up the graphics. Hell just make it so we can play it on Xbox One and PS4!
That would be a nice game.
Actually I completely agree with tou, CoD4 was the best CoD to date.
I think any CoD player will say the same.

Black Ops 1 was the last good Call of Duty and Black Ops 2 was also a half decent game. The problem is that IW simply does not care. They have been using the same engine since Call of Duty 2 with tweaks and some modifications. MW3 was disgusting in the fact that it was exactly the same as MW2 with a few minor tweaks and new maps. Ghosts discredited them altogether and further proved by the amount of people that play the game compared to previous CoD's that the community is done with their shit. Personally I played Ghosts for a few days just to see if it was any better, but turned out to be the worst CoD I've ever played by far. Call of Duty absolutely needs a next gen engine, like Frostbite 3, in order to comeback and finally put something new on the market. It would be amazing if they would go back to the WWII days on a new engine that way the old zombie characters could come back and I just couldn't imagine zombies on a Frostbite 3 or Crytek type engine! The point is if Call of Duty does not upgrade their engine and make some major changes, like possibly adding co-op campaign/ map making customization/ completely new storyline, the series will continue to fade and the community will get smaller until the series ends.

FlutterBat-WaterSexxiLeisure Don't know how to feel about this. I want the next Cod to be really good and more simple, but just like the previous cod's they have all turned out fairly bad.
The last good COD was BO1
BO1 was a fantastic game. They need to stop with COD games fairly soon.
They should go back and re-do WaW, it was an awesome game but it was made terribly.
WaW 2 would be an epic idea. But it's a long shot.
