What's in store for Call of Duty?
As some of you may know, the two owners of Infinity Ward were laid off recently by Activision. So this leads to the question: what will become of Call of Duty?
Activision has announced that the next COD will be released late 2011, but it's not going to be made solely by Treyarch either. Sledgehammer Games has decided to step up to the challenge. Proof can be found here:

So what about the ex-owners of Infinity Ward? They have gone and created a new company-Respawn Entertainment. They have managed to sign a deal with EA Games on their first day. They are starting strong with "seven million capital" from EA reports the LA Times. The two former Infinity Ward owners, Jason West and Vince Zampella, are not alone. Joining them will be lead designer Todd Alderman and lead software engineer Francesco Gigliotti from Infinity Ward. They will most likely be competing with Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games, as they have decided to continue making FPS games.
Law suits are being thrown back and forth between Activision and West and Zampella, so expect some more news on this in the upcoming months.
