New Plans for Call of Duty?? What!? Makes no sense

http://kotaku.com/5484026/activisions-new-plans-for-call-of-duty-include-new-dev

basically its more COD but from different devs which is well,all screwed up if you ask me.

i dont understand.. what is it gonna do?

Now this is what a call Milkage...

"The Sledgehammer-helmed title will "extend the franchise into the action-adventure genre."

"In 2011, Activision will release another new game in the Call of Duty series from an unspecified developer"

Look, if Activision has a franchise you love, don't expect it to last.

Time and again I've watched them take amazing games and then release god awful sequels.
Spiderman 2 to 3+
The Tony Hawk series used to be amazing, and you know what it's like now.
Guitar Hero got flooded to death
Here comes Call of Duty, and there's even that COD subscription they were considering.

Activision milks games, preferring to burn a franchise out quickly for fast profits than maintain it as a quality staple.

In short, between now and 2011 Activision intend to release FOUR cod games. Ninja-Bear

I cannot even begin to express my distaste for Activision and their "ideas" about where the industry should be headed.

I agree with you there

Kind of weird, Activision is becoming like the new EA while EA is actually becoming a bit better developers.

I'm going to follow Foxhound also.

Activision is killing the COD brand

what's fantastic is they're doing this on the same day that BFBC2 launches

Does this surprise anyone? Activision is pissed at Infinity Ward, and greedy as hell. Thus, they're getting a new, cheaper developer and trying to attract gamers with differing tastes.

I've gone past caring about what they do. People will still bend over for them regardless.

this is awesome, activision is digging its own grave and will take the cod franchise with it once and for all. then again theres always going to be the 14 year old runt who will buy anything call of duty.

I honestly don't care about CoD anymore.

Does anyone still care about new call of d00dy games?

You could at least post some detail for discussion, rather than just a link.... Basically, they're ruining COD just like they did Guitar Hero: "As previously announced, Activision will release a new Call of Duty game from series co-developer Treyarch, responsible for Call of Duty 3 and Call of Duty: World At War, this fall. Developer Infinity Ward is still scheduled to release two downloadable map packs for Modern Warfare 2 this year. In 2011, Activision will release another new game in the Call of Duty series from an unspecified developer. It also announced plans for another Call of Duty-based title from developer Sledgehammer Games, the recently formed studio lead by Dead Space creative leads Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey. The Sledgehammer-helmed title will "extend the franchise into the action-adventure genre." Infinity Ward will no longer be making anything Cod, and its two senior developers have been fired.Ninja-Bear

so the originator (and better developer)of the series has been pulled from making it altogether and handed to the bastard stepchild and his retarded cousin?

I'm calling it: Uncharted 2 clone in which you play as Ghost. This is going to be the worst **** ever.

Cherokee_Jack

A Splinter Cell/GRAW (somewhere in-between the two) clone would probably be more accurate. Still, it's hard to imagine how they plan to make that work within the CoD IP.

This move is beyond bizzare. Not only did they just go through the exact same **** with the music game genre (and look at how well that worked out!), but CoD isn't nearly as spin-off friendly an IP as the Guitar Hero franchise was. You get your "action adventure" spin-off, and then what? You can't do an MMO/Battlefield/MAG style game because it'll cannibalize vanilla CoD. An RTS? Not exactly what you picture the average CoD owner playing on their console.

You can't even call it greed because *everyone* knows where this ends -- with the CoD franchise dead in the water. My brain is thoroughly wrinkled.

Does anyone still care about new call of d00dy games?

adv_tr00per

Still dont like them after the bluff to stop making games for ps3

And so it begins!!! CoD will soon become a shell of its former self. Wow Activision,just wow!!! I knew sooner or later they would screw up even more then they have already this gen and this may be the icing on the cake. Why start to run a good franchise into the ground???!!! Money is more important then quality to Kotick I guess. I guess the guys that got fired were probably against this milkage of the franchise and they were let go because they would not go along with the plans Actvision had for the franchise.

Screw you activision!

So, this pretty much means that Activision is going to start milking the CoD series, right?

i hope the infinity ward staff all quits and forms a different studio with the two executives that were fired.

I'm guessing the next 4 call of duties.....

Q4 2011 Modern Warfare 3 will be 80 $ on consoles

2010 Call of duty coming out this year will have flying vehicles and destructable cover

Q1 2011 Call of duty will be made for ONLY Multiplayer and have a monthly fee

Late Q2- Early Q3 Call of duty will be made as an FPS action adventure game

and the rest of the series will be made to be bundled with Gutiar Hero :D

great now activision can kill COD...and they IW is releaved of making anything COD, great way to treat your workers that got you a substancial amount of money activision. why would anyone want to develop for them after this?
