During its 4th Quarter earnings call today, Activision confirmed that a new Call of Duty game will be coming in 2012.

This comes as no surprise since the franchise has seen new titles annually and Modern Warfare 3 has made over a billion dollars. Still, this marks the first time that Activision has plainly stated that a new Call of Duty game will be released this year.

No information on the title was revealed. Previously, reports suggested that Activision may be prepping Black Ops 2, though that hasn't been confirmed. Sledgehammer has been hiring for a new Call of Duty game, and Infinity Ward is working on a next-gen Call of Duty.

Very interesting, but in my opinion, they need to release Call of Duty games like how they release Nintendo games. There should be a break between each game. this isn't Madden, and even that is getting old.

I think we all knew this was coming. Why would Suck-tavision want to drop their biggest money making franchise even for one year so they can make a better game?? I agree they should have a longer break between titles.

Activision confirmed that a new Call of Duty game will be coming in 2012.

As if there was any doubt.

Well I for one is in a state of shock.

That saying about getting use to the sound of trains passing by was rubbish.

 

[Alchemyst]

but wait, didn't they just release a CoD last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

YES! NEW CALL OF DUTY!!!

Awesome.

 

[Alchemyst]

YES! NEW CALL OF DUTY!!!

Awesome.

And the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that

Color me unsurprised, I stopped buying Call of Duty after Modern Warfare 2. It just like Madden at this point, every game is the same, with very little improvement.

That saying about getting use to the sound of trains passing by was rubbish.

Nice Blues Brothers reference!

it's not Black Ops 2, it's Activision, not Teyrach, different game.

Activision doesn't make Call of Duty games, they just publish them.

I know man. I was so surprised to hear another is coming out. I wonder if this one will have guns and map packs as well?

Not wondering whether it may be another FPS?

Dude, what is Activision trying to do? Spoil us? We get a new CoD every year, they sure cater to their fans

 

[Lord]

Let me guess, it will have the same engine from Call of Duty 4, these games seem more like expansions than separate games

 

[Soapy]

I was just thinking how it's both kind of sad, but also impressive that all of the Call of Duty games (and probably the next few) all still run on a modified Quake III engine.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Call Of Duty is designed to 60fps on what is now ancient antiquated hardware. It wont get any significant graphical upgrades regardless. It also wont get any decent physics based interactivity. Because it's a money spinner as well, they wont take risks. Same walk in a line, watch the game play itself, killstreak unlock MMO caroot dangling gameplay. Because of the money it makes as well, everything else is going along the same lines, including genres that have bugger all to do with it.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Every other year I get the COD itch... this is not an itch year.

Though truth be told I'm probably done the franchise until at least the next generation. I am not into MW3 as much as I was MW2.

 

[Lord]

Having an antiquated hardware seems to do nothing to make the sales lower, people don't care, they just play CoD because it's CoD, the same goes for Counter-Strike, which has an old engine but is still very popular, but it doesn't release a new game every year like CoD does, Activision seems to want to milk this franchise until its end like they did with Tony Hawk's Skate games

True, but to be fair Tony Hawk went downhill in quality significantly as it was being milked to death. COD may be more of the same each year, but it's still well made more of the same.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I stopped having fun with CoD after MW and boy did i have a lot of fun with that game. I just find the series boring now, but i know a lot of people who really like it, so more power to Activision for delivering something a lot of people want.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Can't wait to see Activision (hopefully) finally run this series into the ground.

I wonder if the people who are genuinely excited about this are afraid to post, so far everyone seems pretty one sided.

Personally I've never played Call of Duty, but I guarantee I will purchase a version called 'Call of Independence' if/when they ever produce it. Standing in a line with only one shot, switching to bayonets and avoiding cannon fire...that's the kind of FPS I could get behind.
