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

Calyx This really confuses me, I thought they had a 1 year development cycle.


Right after the release the game they start making a new game so that is one year than another year when the other developers game is out.

I really want to see what their going to do with this? Does anyone know if they are releasing one this year or did the cycle start?

-Gazza New call of duty should be based on World at war (Cod 5) in my view the game that i played for years one of the best online CoDs there has been !


I personally didn't like cod5 other than for the zombies. I can't really say that I enjoyed the old guns either.

Maybe we will get lucky and not get another 'copy and paste' CoD like the past three.

The series is getting boring and needs more work.
I agree with this to be honest.

your joking right, CoD has always been better the battlefield

HeyPersonPosted:

ok so are they gonna have 3 separate studios work on a new call of duty 3 years at a time? wow that's crazy. so that means we will still be seeing a call of duty every year but maybe more polished?
