‘Modern Warfare 3′ coming from Sledgehammer not IW

The next Call of Duty may not be a Modern Warfare title but it will be as close as legally possible. One thing that is not up in the air however, is who will be developing the next 'Modern Warfare' be it Modern Warfare 3 or not, Sledgehammer Games recently posted a job listing where the company is looking for a community manager for the next Call of Duty Game. With the ousting of the Modern Warfare creators there has been no clarification made as to if the developers in place will be pushing forward with the series or even if it is legal for them to do so.

Many things have been rumored already about the next game who it will come from seems to be in place. Will it follow the Call of Duty Modern Warfare story? That remains to be seen. Some recent speculation has hinted to the possibility of a Modern Warfare title telling the story of Ghost in a prequel to Modern Warfare 1.

I smell a huge plate full of meh...

...It's not IW

Funny, I just read something that said it is coming from IW, just that SH is helping IW & halting on their own spinoff...

What i heard was that Sledgehammer was going to do an MMO/RPG-ish type COD. I think IW is still going to be doing mw3. Too early to speculate.

Interesting....I didn't know they were headquartered out by me.....wonder if they need tech help......

Here is what I read...

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/20/re...3-with-sledge/

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare publisher Activision has repeatedly stated that Infinity Ward is doing fine since heads Vince Zampella and Jason West were ousted from the company early last year. A report on the LA Times' Company Town blog, however, tells a different story -- according to the piece, both Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software have been tasked with helping develop the next, still unannounced Modern Warfare title, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

"People familiar with the situation" claim that Sledgehammer is working with the remaining staff at Infinity Ward on developing the game's single player campaign, while Singularity developer Raven Software is in charge of bringing up the multiplayer side of things. The sources also contend that, like past Call of Duty titles, MW3 is expected to ship this November. Additionally, Sledgehammer is said to have halted production on its own spinoff Call of Duty title in order to help IW out. Representatives at Activision had yet to respond to a request for comment as of publishing.

Wha?! Dude lets take a field trip Grift.

Yea, they're in Foster City - not far from me at all. Nice little 30 minute motorcycle ride - if that.

Yup I know where that's at. We should take a visit wearing SS gear.

meh, unless the completely overhaul the multiplayer, Im done with COD.

same boring casual shooter crap year after year

You could almost count me in on that

Wally, I've read the same article. I don't think it's true however. It started off on one page as a perhaps and has grown into; it will be. But sometimes, change is good for game perhaps? Different ideas etc.

And for DG: Perhaps it's the platform you're playing it on? The PS3 is getting ready to yank COD off of it.

Legal Trouble for PS3 Call of Duty: Black Ops?
Service Rep: We can shut down CoD if we choose

HOUSTON - Players have made their voices heard on plenty of issues concerning Call of Duty: Black Ops for the PlayStation 3, but one exchange between a player and a customer service representative has lit a firestorm.

We reported the concerns of Black Ops players last year , shortly following its November release. Many said their consoles were freezing up during online-play sessions over the PlayStation Network. Players took to Activision's online forums to get a response from the publisher and the game's developer, Treyarch.

Service Rep Says Activision Can Shut Down Black Ops if Need Be

Online journalist and blogger Jason Koblovsky posted a written exchange between himself and a customer service representative. After forwarding his concerns regarding the game, the rep. stated he had no solutions to his problems and then said Activision reserves the right to take Black Ops off the PlayStation Network if it so chooses - a solution that would not be so off-base given the numerous reports of technical issues surrounding the game.

The representative offered the following alternatives, according to the written exchange:

-- Send the game back to Activision and receive a repackaged game to deliver to a retailer
-- Swap the game for an identical version on another gaming platform (XBOX 360, PC)
-- Swap the game for another Activision title of equal or lesser value

Koblovsky, in response, said if Activision does pull the service, the game publisher can expect the following to occur:

-- He would choose option 1 and never purchase an Activision title in the future
-- Legal repercussions from the PlayStation Network
-- He would forward the exchange to several Canadian consumer advocates.

nope, Chief, I have it for 360.

its just the same old crap, re-skinned and sent back out. you would think after 4 years they would have added new game modes at least.

also p2p connections are really holding all console shooters back.

Homefront is supposed to have dedi servers for consoles as well as PC. I'm hoping for this game to be good, sure as hell looks good...

yeah Bass, I know. The devs came out and said something along the lines of having more than 5 people in a game should require dedicated servers.

regardless Ill still get homefront on PC over console

I'm not joking lets do this.

Rumor: Call of Duty Online to Be Revealed Soon

Everyone’s familiar with the Call of Duty brand. What some people might not know though is how many studios Activision currently have working on the brand itself.

Infinity Ward does the Modern Warfare games (What’s left of the studio anyway), Treyarch did the most recent one, Black Ops, and we also have Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games and Beachhead studios.

Raven Software is rumored to be working with Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games on Modern Warfare 3, which is supposed to be revealed this year and go up against EA’s Battlefield 3. To this end, there have been several rumblings about the Call of Duty brand and where it’s headed. One speculation is it will go past the modern setting and into the realm of sci-fi; another rumor is that it will go the MMO/online route.

While both rumors sound plausible, website Rock, Paper, Shotgun has just received a tip that we will soon be getting a major announcement regarding the Call of Duty brand, and it looks to be centric to the PC.

According to the tip, they’re calling it Call of Duty Online. This might be the Call of Duty “online solution” Bobby Kotick has mentioned before, or at the very least, part of it.

The site speculates that this might be a free-to-play shooter much in the same vein as Battlefield: Play4Free.

Will it be a Call of Duty MMO or a browser game? Or even Call of DutyVille? Activision-Blizzard is scheduled to reveal their quarterly results this coming week, there’s a very good possibility we’ll know more then.

I don't know if this is the MW3 everyone thinks is coming, But here is confirmation of CoD:online. Pretty much what you posted Chief, but with confirmation of it.

They will have to completely re-invent the game for me to even come close to considering buying a new COD...every year they have got worse and worse...well black ops was a tad better than MW2.

They have just made them complete snore fests where the game basically plays for you so that noobs can compete.

I got's to admit, me likey the new map pack. I don't know DG....perhaps give it another go around? You might find it funtastic?

The new map pack is pretty awesome! I really like this zombie map better than the rest by far though.

An oldie....but a goodie. More sneak footage of MW:3

hahahahahaha nice.

the new map pack is awesome....it even got my wife to start playin black op online with me cuz she seen the 4 new maps and said they looked fun. shes not that good yet but shes gettin better every game she plays. i think she got like 12 lvls since sun morn.

Wrong thread... lol

post whore

Jealous? lol

needs more achievements! lol

"Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3"

sadly theres not a damn thing you have that i would be jealous of. :happy-054:

From here

According to Eurogamer, several sources have pegged the release date as being November 8, which is the second Tuesday in November. This won't come as a huge surprise to anybody, given that the previous two Call Of Duty games have also been released on the second Tuesday in November.

Modern Warfare 3 Rumors: Bigger Story, Environmental Destruction

Yesterday, we opined on the increasing likelihood of the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in November. Today, Kotaku filled in some general game details on the not-announced game.

According to Kotaku's sources, MW 3 will continue Modern Warfare 2's story, exploring the aftermath of the invasion of the USA detailed in MW2. The involvement of other nations in the war could result in World War 3. According to the source, Modern Warfare 3 will have an urban setting, including "military vehicles, including tanks, rolling through suburban streets." Returning characters could include John "Soap" MacTavish and Captain John Price.

The main gameplay change will reportedly lie in the scope of the game. It's going to be huge, taking place on large, destructible urban maps. Hmmm... big maps and destructible environments. Those features are the hallmarks of the Battlefield games, and with the amazing-looking Battlefield 3 slated for a fall release, it's looking like a head-to-head battle between the two most 'core shooter game franchises on earth is heating up.

What kind of things would you like to see in the next MW game? If you had to choose either Battlefield 3 or the next Modern Warfare game, which one would you pick?

How about a spoiler alert?

J/K but holy shit the H scroll...

I've heard some rumors that they have gone back to PC for the lead SKU so that they can attempt to compete with battlefield in the visual sense

No DG. No.


So apparently the info for that big post above that Bassani admired was actually leaked information.
So then 402 said he reluctantly released these vids even though they did not plan on putting them out yet.
So all-in-all good for us who are eager for info.

NICE!!
