Call of Duty now on three year development cycle

3.9
Activision has released that it will be moving the CoD series to a three year development cycle instead of two.

While this still means a new CoD entry each year it *should* allow much more time for the respective devs to fully develop their CoD. One would imagine their hope in this strategy change is to foster more innovation while allowing further care of previously released games in the form of better crafted DLC.


"Sledgehammer is a triple-A studio built from the ground-up around prudent talent with a 90-plus-rated pedigree both in studio leadership and throughout the organization.

They demonstrated their skill on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and on their past high-rated games. They're the perfect choice to support our new approach and bring fresh ideas and creativity to this great franchise, and to raise the bar for next-gen games overall.


-Activision Publishing president and CEO Eric Hirshberg

Ages so no Zombies till 2015? or 2014?

That is stupid


Actually sledgehammer does the MW, Ghosts series. Trayarch does the other series with zombies. So no worries man.


No, Sledgehammer only stepped in to assist on MW3 because of the whole legal battle with Zamella and West. IW does Ghosts, Treyarch does Black Ops, and Sledgehammer will likely have a completely different series. This means there will be two games in between the Black Ops/Treyarch series with zombies.

Reverence They need to release a new W@W or like a call of duty set in an older time. I miss bouncing betty's and all the good old stuff. Anyone else agree?


That would be great, I would love another W@W!
