Why would Treyarch let someone else take over their baby?

Simco8765518d ago

To free up Trey for Black Ops 2.

2011 - MW3
2012 - BO2
2013 - I murder Bobby boy

AssassinHD5518d ago

You have to fit Sledgehammer Games in there somewhere. Remember there are now 3 CoD developers.

Sigh5518d ago

MW3 is up in the air with the lawsuit intact and most IW people gone. 2011 will be Sledgehammer's COD debut I bet.

JamieReleases5518d ago

Well, I guess that kind of decision falls to Activision in the end.

Rich16315518d ago

Wouldn't be surprising, Certain Affinity worked on some of the World at Wat maps and DLC, and assisted on Black Ops multiplayer maps.

i wonder if they are gonna do the same crap with mw2 and remake older maps from the previously released cod so waw maps remade?

marioPSUC5518d ago

They are probably gonna be $15 again....sigh

But as long as they give us NEW maps, and a zombie map Ill be happy, I would love another zombie map.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex51d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos51d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

@Oumba:”We’ve heard that story many times before 😂”

Happy thanksgiving to all the N4G members

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio51d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger51d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb240d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville239d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer240d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer240d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad239d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.
