What we heard:In July 2008, Infinity Ward announced that its top developers had signed a long-term contract with Activision. Besides involving presumably large monetary sums, the deal allowed the Santa Monica studio to branch out from the Call of Duty series it created in 2002 to work on a "unique new IP." Is Glen Schofield's new shop taking a whack at Modern Warfare 3?

Now, with Call of Duty franchise sales topping $3 billion, unconfirmed reports indicate Infinity Ward may be focusing on its mystery project. Citing "US Insiders," the UK site says that Activision has farmed out development of the sequel to the megahit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which minted $550 million in five days last November.

If Infinity Ward is indeed moving on to its Next Big Thing, who might take over such an important franchise as Modern Warfare? Citing more unnamed sources, VG247 has two suspects: an unnamed Canadian studio, and Sledgehammer Games, Activision's newly founded San Francisco Bay Area studio.

Sledgehammer seems the more likely suspect, given that it has publicly said it is working on a "new game based on one of Activision's existing franchises." It is also currently hiring lead online multiplayer designers who must have at least "five years experience working on current AAA multiplayer shooters for current consoles and PC." Then there's the shop's sterling pedigree: its two founders, Glenn Schofield and Michael Condrey, were the main minds behind Electronic Arts' acclaimed Dead Space series before Activision poached them last July.

The official story:Activision reps had not returned requests for comment as of press time.

Bogus or not bogus?:It's certainly in the realm of possibility, since Call of Duty development has been farmed out before. Since 2006, former Spider-Man developer Treyarch has made World War II-themed entries in the series while Infinity Ward crafted the first two Modern Warfares. Also, after eight years of Call of Duty, the latter studio's talented development team

it would be quite cool if the next call ov duty was like in the era of Cannons n Muskets Etc i duuno why but it would be quite cool lol

That would be quite interesting. I'd be interested in a Civil War style game. While it may not be very interesting to some people, I think it would be a pretty cool experience.

I saw those at GameStop awhile back. I never realized they were made by Activision, though. I'm going to have to try those out. Does anyone know if they're any good?

May I ask what is wrong with Treyarch besides the fact that they refused to fix the MP40?

i would like to see another game of W@W but made by iw...

suppose somehow they do have all rights to the CoD name IW would just leave out CoD in there covers all it needs is MW to be a hit just look at the latest cover CoD is smaller than MW2

i dont think thats real but maybe
