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.
Are you bothered with who makes the Next Call of Duty game?
Are you still interested with Call of Duty?

You see, everyone wants more change for CoD. I wanna go back to the way it was. CoD4 style. UAV, Airstrike, and Heli. Thats as good as it gets. Guns were balanced, kill streaks weren't OP, and maps were perfect. The only things that hurt CoD4 so much was if the host left, the game ended, and lag. I'm not mentioning the hacks because thats a widespread issue. In my opinion, if you wanna hack, do it in a private match. I love hacking. Doing challenge lobbies on MW2 and building care package bunkers with miniguns was fun as hell, but doing it in public lobbies is just so, well, unfair. Lol. Ruins the fun of the game.

Sledgehammer so far been a support studio, I would like to see them move towards a much bigger input of the series. Maybe letting them take over the series for a bit with no more every year release with them in charge. Take some big risks with their release doing a spin off.
Let IW have a go with a new IP, same with Treyarch.
Biggest problem COD faces it the biggest game and the only way is down from here. Do feel they should take some more risks along with do some spin offs and just go silly with it. Don't be serious at all, let people run around with double LMGs etc.
Going for a game on a bigger scale would be a mistake, so I don't understand the call for 32vs32 Call of duty unless people love a mess.
That said above all, make your own vision of the game. Do feel they have taken the game in the wrong direction which is making it serious it was never a serious game at all.
Part of this is just standard call of duty hate which I only feel is correct on DLC pricing but people buy it why change it.
Ghosts confused me when it comes to map size with how many spawn points it the same number as the smaller maps which is just silly.
Happy at the bigger maps, but most people don't like being able to flank or snipe. Some people I feel would rather a AR/SMG no shotgun game.
My reply to this is the following what change do you want?
Lower TTKs?
No radar?
Complete change in map design?
No single player?
Problem is they have a successful formula which other developers have tried to copy, and if they change too much people won't buy it.
I have my own ideal vision of Call of duty I can tell you would hate it.
Thing is they have made changes to the formula a couple of times pro perks, level system etc.
In my view they should not listen to E sports or any pub stars and just make the game, unless something ruins the metagame patch it.
