Call of Duty development offer declined by Gearbox
During an interview several months ago with the German site KGN, Randy Pitchford stated that Gearbox only develops a game "when we can contribute to an existing brand something new - a kind of unique perspective and a new approach."
Mr. Pitchford does not feel that opportunity is present with the Call of Duty series.
Seeing how important the Call of Duty series is to Activision, and how dominant the game is due to a set formula the previous developers have followed each year, Pitchford went on to question just how much flexibility his studio would even have if they were to pursue the next Call of Duty.
Pitchford stated, "You have to play by the rules of the series." He then stated, "You have to do what is expected of a Call of Duty. In this I see but no real challenge for us. It would not strengthen our reputation as a studio, it would not be really motivating for our team."

Gearbox could probably make a better Call of Duty than **** Treyarch and their shitty multiplayer.

MyDingDingDongsDeadlyDasherIglesias Glad Gearbox declined. No one should help Call of Duty. They have been losing sales through out the years.
And they have been the most sold games throughout the years. What does that tell you?
Doesnt mean its been the best game throughout the years .....
dingdong,he didn't say it was good,just simply telling iglesias that cod's sales continue increasing.

SovietRussia I have to say it's a stupid move for gearbox. Just think of all of the revenue the would bring in from "developing" a game that's pretty much already complete. Just throw in some new guns and new maps and sell it....
i agree they will regret it

Guess Activision even realizes that the Call of Duty series needs some help.
Lets face it, Infinity Ward is not the same company it was in 2007.
They need to make this next CoD targeted to all platforms and not more of a Xbox exclusive.
