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."

darkowl1991LuckyOtTer I like how you all thing just because it's gearbox they would have to have the same graphics as another game they made. Gearbox has made other games that look nothing like borderlands they even participated in Halo 1. I just don't understand how people can play the exact same game year after year.
Exactly they have made a lot more games then just borderlands. And in my opinion Brothers in arms is a better series then COD.
Since when in the **** world do you EVER see anyone play brothers n arm's?

TopNotchKiNG Why would a great company like Gearbox waste there time on a Call of Duty title? They would not be able there own creativity to it, nothing new that they could bring to the game. Also rumors are that Gearbox is a developing another title in there very own fps series, Brothers in Arms. With this game they will be able to do what they want, and how they want it.
PS: I find it fony how back in the ps2 days, Call of Duty & Medal of Honor & Brothers in Arms, were all competing to develope the best shooter, now activision wants to have Gearbox work for them haha.
medal of honor is also a pretty much DEAD Series..

the call of duty games are possibly the greatest fps games of all time. to be honest i am actually happy that gearbox declined because gearbox is useless anyway, you will know this if you have played borderlands or brothers in arms.

M14 I think this would've been great to see a completely new company develop a call of duty game. 3arc and infinity ward are running out of ideas. It would've be great to see what a new company has to offer.
It would be nice but according to the artical there was "rules" to play by in developing the next CoD.
On topic; Good job for Pitchford & his job of running Gearbox, glad he was able to deny such a dirty job as trying to make or even fix CoD. Go **** Yourself Activision you company killer.
