Pretty much, yesterday 2 of the top dogs at IW were sat down with Activision and were let go, reasons people are saying insubordination or breach of contract, Activision has said no word on why so far.
Some points from the article....
"According to the release, Infinity Ward will move forward on developing two downloadable map packs for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, both due for release sometime in 2010."
"Confirming what we already suspected, a new Call of Duty is
coming from Treyarch Games later this year. What we didn't already
know, however, was Activision's intentions for Sledgehammer Games
(headed by former Visceral Games developers Glen A. Schofield and
Michael Condrey) to release a brand-new Call of Duty game "in the action-adventure genre" sometime in 2011."
And even then CoD7 might not be a FPS...
"No setting or gameplay details were revealed for either upcoming Call of Duty product, but the "action-adventure" description suggests it won't be a first-person-shooter."
"Activision also vaguely discussed intentions for the future of the series, which include pulling the Call of Duty franchise under a singular business unit. Activision also intends to "expand" the Call of Duty brand similar to what Blizzard Entertainment has done with its franchises."
^ Made me laugh so far, they seriously want to enter the MMO arena, they need to understand.....YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY FUCKING MAKE A SOMEWHAT BALANCE GAME, AND COME UP WITH UPDATES THAT WILL ACTUALLY WORK, NOT HALFASSING SHIT.
Its all up to trey right now, but IW's work in CoD is finish.
