So with it being 2014 and people losing interest with Call of Duty: Ghosts, I started looking into the fact we still have another 2 Developers that have worked on Call of Duty in the past. These Developers being Treyarch and well Sledgehammer.

So from the usual cycle of developers everybody would think the 2014 Call of Duty would be developed by Treyarch. I hoped it would be so we could see the power of NextGen Zombies but it seem we will have to wait until 2015 for this to happen as it seems this year’s game will be developed by Sledgehammer.
And with this news floating around from Job positions that are open at the two companies as seen on their respective websites You must login or register to view this content. and You must login or register to view this content.. As you can see from Treyarch’s side they are still wanting a Game Designer, and they are ‘Urgently’ looking to fill this position, this is why I expect them to be the 2015 games developer, we are now 10 months away from Call of Duty 2014, this position should have been filled months ago.

Yes Sledgehammer need a Weapons and Vehicle artist but this could be for DLC stuff, and look at Black Ops 2, they changed the way some stuff looked after the initial release anyway. Originally the Swarm was a UAV styled Vehicle, on launch it looked like a Hunter Killer. These artists could be brought into change stuff or give a helping hand.

Some may argue that Treyarch want those staff for the game after next, but if that was the case why would they be wanting them urgently? They wouldn’t they would recruit them members of staff after the next game or shortly after release.

Why the hate for Sledgehammer?
All I have seen on Twitter is people being angry over the fact that Sledgehammer could/will be the developer for the 2014 Call of Duty game, all I can think is why the hate? They have only HELPED with the development of one Call of Duty game and that was MW3 where they helped with the Campaign on there, everything else was Infinity Ward’s idea. So with this why do they get the hate for having one Campaign experience, and if you ask me MW3 actually had a half decent Campaign!

I am excited to see what Sledgehammer could do with this Call of Duty game and to see if it will be a new Series or if they will just continue with the Modern Warfare Series while Infinity Ward create a Ghosts series and obviously Treyarch develop with the Black Ops Series.
