From PCGamer News that linked from Steam that I noticed today.

"Activision have recruited three studios to work on the next Call of Duty title. Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software.

The LA Times report that in the wake of Infinity-gate (where Infinity Ward co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella were fired last March), the Modern Warfare developers have been sufficiently affected enough by staff losses that extra help has been sought from Sledgehammer Games. Read on for more detals.

Sledgehammer – a studio recruited by Activision to work on a Call of Duty spin-off game – are now helping Infinity Ward out on the single-player component of their current title, which is tipped to be Modern Warfare 3 (no surprises there).

Wisconsin-based Raven Software have also been brought in to work on the multi-player element, according to the article.

This will be the first time in Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty history that aid has been sought for development on a project, with all previous Modern Warfare games being produced solely by the IW team. With the loss of many of Infinity Ward’s staff, it comes of no surprise that Activision are doing all they can to ensure that this year’s Call of Duty title is out on time, which will most likely be in November once more. However, this action will probably delay the production of Sledgehammer Games’ own Call of Duty title. "


1 thing for sure, no SG or MY server, then GG i not buying it. Unless ofcause there's super ton of fun in multiplayer or uber campaign la.

Not buying, as Raven is quite incompetent, and Sledge Hammer hasnt done any game before.

I think it's too early to judge if the game would work out but I wished I don't have the same nightmare in MoH ==""

3 studios makin 1 game..wow... i just wanna know how the story ends thats all

I would be more interested to know if they have servers for SEA. EVerything else doesn't matter if this isn't in place, tbh.

Why not by treyarch?

It's like asking for silver when someone handed you gold medal.

MW3 is interesting just it release too fast. no sea is still OK. Cod series campaign is still fun play. Mean? oh yeah will be waiting for JS version.

This News surely make Asian Player think: WTF we still haven got our server yet? and gameserver will working on MW3 or wad?

Modern warfare is an overused theme, much like how WW2 was overused back in early 2000's.

If they make something like Call of Duty: The Forgotten War (Google it), then I might consider buying it.

I would like to continue the story xD

About MP,yes this time I gonna research server,game problem...etc before i buying it.

I hate it this time I so rush to buy cod bo

That war? It's going to be epic with m1 garands. CoD: Civil wars

Sledgehammer has done nothing so far, as they are consist of a new team.And Raven, i know they have been exist for a long long time, but what significant contribution have they made? Nothing special, as far as i know.Lastly, Infinity Ward, without half of the previous executive, they are pretty much empty shell. Which is also why IW needs 2 more studios to develop MW3 because Kotick wants MW3 to be released at the end of this year, without fail.

Activision has gone too far with the CoD milking, till there isnt much to offer. Unless MW3 offer some fresh new innovations, i really dont want to buy another CoD with different skin.

I hope Battlefield 3 will crush CoD like a tin can under a tank tracks. CoD series has become so overrated. No offence.

I will probably not buy this after the massive disappointment of Black Ops. Battlefield 3 all the way!

I still playing MW since i am holding BO original copy. i tot i can play this BO whole day in CNY. disappointed.

NO SEA SERVER = NO ORI GAME
Thats all

+10

x10 LOL

I'll get both CoD>9000 and BF3.
I personally see BF and CoD as two seperate games and just have fun with them individually.
I play Black Ops more often though because it's fast paced, matches are quick etc, but if I have the time I'd like to play BC2 again because of the epic scale of the matches, plus vehicles etc.

But yeah, I'm not gonna waste my time picking favourites between these two awesome franchises.

This is the truth.

Really BS how black ops servers are run on the PC.

I'm a fans of COD and collecting every single COD expcept WAW (for some reason)
Never ever trust COD again no matter how attractive is the game...multiplayer getting worse because of BO
NO SEA server, ping like C**K..
