Call Of Duty 7 in development

CVG say "Would you believe Treyarch is already hard at work on Call of Duty 7? Course you would."

[cronaldo7]

Any news about COD 8?

[anh_duong]

i believe it is called:

"call of duty 6: world at war 2: modern warfare 3"

or "COD 6: WAW 2: MW 3" for short

[jammy_70]

that the COD series was rushed....

[Space_cancer]

Call Of Duty 7: Milking Warfare

[Doppy]

Why not just have 2 war games, Treyarch's game is called "Call of Duty", Infinity Ward's gameis called "Modern Warfare".

[UnwanteDreamz]

If you are in the "I like having one every year" camp, I have one question for you. If they are able to make good games in 12 months, what do you think they could do in 24?

I would rather they spend an extra 12 months on a title making it as special as possible.

Oversaturation is never a good thing.

[bumnut]

no new game engine = no sale for me.

im sick of cod games, they were good at 1st on pc, and cod 2 & 4 were good on xbox.

but please stop releasing the same crap every year.

[orakga]

@1.4 The reason why they don't separate the franchises is so that both "series" can benefit from the CoD brand-name. Or more bluntly put, so that regular gamers (who can't tell Treyarch from IW) will buy Treyarch's game.

@1.5 Both games DO have 24-month dev. cycles. See above.

[DelbertGrady]

They should just skip Call of Duty completely and name the games Treyarch's War Game and Infinity Ward's War Game, so we know which one to get ;)

[PS360PCROCKS]

Um "unwanteddreamz" they do have 24 month dev cycles. Call of Duty 7 won't come out til 2010. Lol what do you think Infinity Ward just hung out after MW for a year and just started again in December?

[ArmrdChaos]

No interest until they get a clue.

I grew tired of enemy respawns behind friendly lines, enemies running unhindered past multiple allies in efforts to point blank you, the half-dozen "magic" grenades that appear when you try and hide behind something, their save points are crap, and I can go on. Someone needs to clue them in on the fact soldiers didn't have a box of 30 grenades strapped to their arse.

I am done with their wash, rinse, and repeat mentality of play. The game was more tedious than it was fun.

[xwabbit]

COD is doing the NFS thing now :/

[UnwanteDreamz]

Oops my mistake, and an obvious one at that. I still think these devs (not just COD devs) need to do something before FPS become stale.

Self ownage is the best kind ;)

[njr]

The simple trick is to avoid the odd numbered Call of Duty's. That way, you skip the treyarch developed games.

[No Way]

Uhm.. I believe Infinity Wards game is called Modern Warfare 2. Not Call of Duty.

[Elven6]

I'd like to see Treyarch build their own engine for this, the COD 3 engine was impressive considering it was built in less then 8 months.

[ShabzS]

they built and shipped the game for 5 platforms (360, ps3, pc, xbox, ps2) in 10 months... activision can be blamed for this ... they're doing the same thing with guitar hero now... just throwing one out every year ...

[Elven6]

I don't know why I'm getting disagrees, the team at Treyarch had roughly 8 months to not only build a engine but a game to boot. For all we know it could have taken them a month to build it, given how at the time the engine was graphically impressive imagine what they could do with at least a year to build a engine from scratch.

[Christopher]

*chants it over and over*

Luckily, with them switching off between CoD and MW, they can make engine improvements in the year that they're not releasing.

[DirtyRat]

I'm hoping for more visceral WW2 action, but I wonder what they can do to keep it fresh?

[table]

I didn't even get WaW and probably wont get the next one by Treyarch. Just sticking to the MW series, I have enough shooters not to bother with a CoD every year.

[Foxgod]

I like yearly titles, it beats having only one iteration every 4/5 years.

[table]

Well I would like that too if my console of choice was lacking in exclusive games :)

[XXXCouture]

BOOOYAH 1 - 0 to Stewgart

[Eiffel]

Way to turn it into a fanboy remark, fail.

[table]

I only said it because that guy is an infamous fanboy. I don't actually mean what I say when it comes to fanboy stuff like that.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

@ stewgart: Impressive comeback.

[No Way]

I wouldn't really call it "impressive.."
Anyone can turn an argument into a fanboy argument with a simple fanboy comment.

It would be impressive, however, to see an argument on this site, for once,
Having someone "win" without the "winner" turning to a fanboy comment..

I'd rather read a decent argument, for once, rather than a fanboy fight.. that get's old. =/

[JeffGUNZ]

COD:WAW was ok, for being in WW2. I think I am just worn out on all the WWII shooters I have played over the year. If they did a modernish era, even veitnam or the 90's gulf storm war, it would be cool. They need to modernize a little, I am getting tired of using dated and ancient weapons, especially going from the mp5 in COD4 to the thompson, it is frustrating.

[Foxgod]

They should make a Call of duty based on an alternative time line, where all men died from a virus strike (like in y the last man).

Would be cool, a Call of duty with nothing with females in it, fighting for the survival of the human race.

[orakga]

That's Resistance in a nutshell.

Except the all-female part of course.

[Karum]

That'd be a bit pointless though since they wouldn't be able to reproduce and keep the human race going.

Then again it leaves room for a nice yet predictable twist in the story.

[Foxgod]

I think that Call of duty is actually a product that they harvested from an alien space ship that once crashed on earth.

They harvested like 50 Call of duty titles from a spaceship its board computer.
Now they spend each year, replacing the alien models with human ones, so they can release a new title.

[Pennywise]

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man... Why do we need a new rendition every year? Maybe I am all FPS'd out.

[Foxgod]

As long as it sells it means that there are people who want it.
And as long as people want it, theres no reason to deny them the game.

[Christopher]

And soon they'll have you all guitared, drummed, and sung out.

[The BS Police]

Why I prefer Halo over Call of Duty.

[themyk]

of course they are. if it's coming out 4quarter next year. when do people expect them to have started. hopefully they started as soon as W@W went gold.

[lowcarb]

I'm just curious why nobody on this site criticizes or says anything about them milking this game. If they keep going at this rate they will pass up Metal Gear in just 7 more years.

[themyk]

oooooooooooo woooooooooo there fella watch that tongue. don't talk about my metal gear that way.

[Pennywise]

Umm - They are milking it. mooooooooooooooooo

[bacchus23]

I really like WAW a lot. I had a blast playing through it. A title each year is fine by me!

http://amoretech.blogspot.c...

[nightelfmohawk]

Just like they do with all of their franchises. They're one of my least favorite developers along with Bethesda.

[N2NOther]

Activision, in this case, is merely a publisher. And Bethesda is amazing. Fallout 3 was easily one of the best games I've ever played.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Activision is a publisher. Ya what N2 said lol, you beat me to it

[peeps]

maybe i'll be wrong (i hope so) but i expect mw2 to start showing it's age with the cod4 engine later this year so Treyarch really need to get a new engine sorted out.

I don't really mind too much. IW are better developers than Treyarch imo and well COD is IW's franchise, but i still like the idea of having a COD each year, even if it just means Treyarchs entry is just something to fill the gap. I mean it seems like only yesterday that we were playing COD4 (well most still play it) but then here we are not far away from Mw2 (and it will have been 2 years)

[PotNoodle]

If they keep doing this, the series won't last aslong. It will eventually just get old for everyone.

[cayal]

Doubt it. FPS almost always sell, especially established franchises.

[xg-ei8ht]

COD1 Was handsdown the best one.

COD4 Was good also.

But the series is getting tired and needs a well earned rest.

[360Hater]

Why isnt there more people copying god of war? Stop buying the same shooter every year!!!

So annoying... 1 god of war game and 10000000000000000000000000 shooter games... Looking forward to another glitch filled room with a bunch of spastic idiots running around and shooting each other... Should be fun.. Like last year. And the year before.. and the 10 years before that.

Shooters are officially on my rant list.. You think your good at them? Who cares its a shooter!

Vomits.

And there making another modern warfare!!!!!!!!!! wtf make something else...

[UnwanteDreamz]

You should have opened that comment with

"You know what grinds my gears?"

[jag_stilvecchio]

Of course they are. CoD is one of Activision's biggest cash cows. CoD will go the way of Medal of Honor. Too many titles, not enough uniqueness will make the series stale and gamers will move on to something else.

[BYE]

Ok, it's getting ridicolous now...

Activision is making itself look like the new EA with all that Guitar Hero and Call of Duty ridicule.

[Barca_V_V]

shouldn't put out a call of duty every other year, if this was a sports game and they needed to update the line-up every season i would understand. i think they should let only infinity ward to work on call of duty series and let treyarch work on a new ip, and i bet the games would be better if the developers werent working on a 2 year deadline, i believe giving them 2 to 3 years is much better and let the devs decide when the game is ready.

[KingKionic]

Its great this way. Both kinds of gamers get to experience different timelines. I thank activison for this.

[Nihilism]

omfg enough with ww2 or the vietnam war, how about a game in the present..or ever crazier yet...THE FUTURE!!, dun dun dun!!(piano keys emphasizing the shock of the reader)

[Elven6]

In the grand scheme of things the World War market is niche, their are plenty of modern and even future warfare based titles. Besides it's not even confirmed what war this game will take place in!

[Rhezin]

take a look a Dante's Inferno. That's just one though, but it SHOULD be just one. God of War is a game that should not be cloned because every game that tries just falls short of the God of War awesomeness. I personally love FPS's. I'll only buy 1-2 FPS's a year though. Though this year it looks like 3. Killzone 2, M.A.G., and MW:2.

[Doletskaya]

can they make a true sequel in terms of the game's quality to the series before releasing it? I'm sick of them releasing a COD title each year without investing enough time and money into developing the game.Ofcoz,some fanboys are willing to buy each COD title no matter how lame it is and claim graphics aren't the most important element of a game,but that is really encouraging IW to release the same thing over and over again.Now,the only difference between each COD title is their stories in SP.

[hunter21]

i like COD games. but i think its too much. lol

[Kyur4ThePain]

Is this going to become like the new Madden or something?
Jeez, do something else already.
But I guess as long as people keep buying it each time, they'll never stop making new versions.

[flash74]

I'm glad for the warning ahead of time. After getting sucked into buying COD5 WaW by my idiot friends, I think I'll avoid the next Treyarch release like the plague. Every time Infinity Ward makes a new one, the series takes two steps forward, just so Treyarch can take it one step back the following year. It didn't take long for most of the people I know to go right back to Modern Warfare. I'm amazed at how with the same engine, Treyarch managed to make the game look worse. The guns were so unbalanced that it made the game a joke. Although MW didn't have perfect weapon balance, it wasn't nearly as bad as WaW. You really didn't need anything but a sub-machine gun to play most of the online maps. I'm not saying they did everything wrong, but it paled in comparison to MW.

Settle it in the ring at, http://flash80.mybrute.com

[Droid Control]

They only just finsished 5. And Infinity ward are not makiing COD games any more.

MW2 is NOT a COD game.

They are now two seperate franchises.

[AssassinHD]

I was actually going to make that exact point, but you beat me to it.

[TheMART]

Wrong I think.

First they wanted to call the game only Modern Warfare II, but just some days ago I heard they're going to add Call of Duty again.

And I just count on. I call COD WaW still COD5 and MWII I'll call COD6.

[AssassinHD]

You know the argument could be made that Call of Duty: World at War is not titled "Call of Duty 5". The last numbered CoD was in fact CoD4.

[Droid Control]

its more involving. And i feel it works great for RPG's like oblivion and fallout.

I just wish we had more genres using first person and not just shooters andf the occassional RPG from Bethesda...

[ShabzS]

treyarch is doing good job making these games ... WaW was fun and frantic... and the nazi zombies mode was pure brilliance... i just got to wave 18 this morning ... anyway... the frequency of these titles is activisions fault they need to slow them down...

[KingKionic]

I guess activison should get rid of treyarch or infinty ward...

LOL

NO WAY!

[Elven6]

I'm getting pretty COD fatigued, I really started noticing it with WaW, despite the new environments and everything it still felt like COD. Don't get me wrong the franchise is great and all but I think I need a break. Maybe by the time MW 2 comes out I will be ready for more COD?

[Karum]

If it isn't the umpteenth rendition of WW2 then it might interest me depending on whatever else is released around the same time.

The COD series has killed the WW2 type shooters for me, apart from Resistance which is set in a completely alternate setting.

[thehitman]

Pretty sure that after they finish CoD they work right on the next one so there is more than a year of development and I am pretty sure they improve on their game engines as they go along (or at least infinity ward does). However I think that they should just drop studio and stick w/ infinity ward. Seeing CoD every year does wear out the franchise especially if 1 is going to be a rehash of another every other year with a worse theme.

[Dmack79]

I'm starting to get sick of them. And I think Infinity Ward has put the Title "Call of Duty" back on Modern Warfare 2. So they are still the same franchise.

[gta2800]

Activision is stating to become one of the main milking devs.

[ShabzS]

with the way they handle their franchise expect a guitar hero : hanna montana next year too.... with guitar hero : jonas brothers dlc

[Elven6]

On average burn out in the games industry is 5 years, I wonder what the average is at Activision?!?!

[blink3020]

Not going to buy it.

[Elven6]

Why? For the 8 months of development time Activision had given them COD 3 was pretty good. World at War also lived up to the bar 4 had set for them.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I agree. I thought World At War would suck, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a cool game. I loved burning stuff.

[TwistedMetal]

people need to quit praising cod so they can stop makeing 1 game a year with little or no improvements. at most ill buy the game used for under 30 if I ever by anothere. there is just to many better and different gfames comeing out for me to spend 60 on anothere cod game. It would have to use the power of the celll and blueray for me to get another for 60.

[skincrow]

how about we all just........DANCE!

[-MD-]

A new CoD4 every year is complete overkill.

[TheMART]

Why?

After playing a game 12 months I am ready for a new one, doesn't matter if its a new COD. As long as they spend a full development proces on it!

COD3 was rushed by Treyarch in 8 months. BUT COD5 was done already better normal devtime. COD7 again they take their time while Infinity Ward works on COD6 already since COD4 was released.

Thus: all fine with me every year a COD as long as its high quality!

[MoneyMarko]

Must be confident about Modern Warfare 2! Arrogance?!

[Timesplitter14]

Soon another company will step in the COD bandwagon and there'll be 3 COD titles released at once. COD 21 coming soon

[Gamer_Z]

no more COD for me, now that Modern Warfare separated from COD i'm sticking with MW.

[Don_Frappucino]

I will not be buying. It'll just be a bad rehash of MW2's ideas in a WW2 setting.

[HDgamer]

Hopefully no old ww2 ww1 or revolutionary war shooters.

[Avenged Sevenfold]

Ewww. Treyarch? Just give the rights to IW and release CoD every 2 years. Treyarch can't make a game for sh*t if they don't have a blueprint form IW.

[cayal]

No more World War II.

Vietnam perhaps?

[kaveti6616]

Give Treyarch credit; they're like the ugly brother of the COD series. They get pushed aside whenever Infinity Ward is strutting around, but no one gives credit to Treyarch for developing a game for five platforms in 10 months. That's just fricking godly. That's like 2 months per SKU. Give Treyarch 24 months on an exclusive game and they will blow your mind.

[dogmeat eater]

COD is an old washed out boring series. I feel sorry for COD addicts. I used to be like you. Just playing COD4 and nothing else. But I learned there was so many other good games. Like MGO for example. Very good game. Much better then any COD game. COD games generally are just big grenade fests.

[Knightofelemia]

God i hope COD 7 is not a WW2 game

[Tachyon_Nova]

what a surprise that is. And no doubt, itll suck like number 5
