Call of Duty now on three year development cycle

3.9
Activision has released that it will be moving the CoD series to a three year development cycle instead of two.

While this still means a new CoD entry each year it *should* allow much more time for the respective devs to fully develop their CoD. One would imagine their hope in this strategy change is to foster more innovation while allowing further care of previously released games in the form of better crafted DLC.


"Sledgehammer is a triple-A studio built from the ground-up around prudent talent with a 90-plus-rated pedigree both in studio leadership and throughout the organization.

They demonstrated their skill on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and on their past high-rated games. They're the perfect choice to support our new approach and bring fresh ideas and creativity to this great franchise, and to raise the bar for next-gen games overall.

Call of Duty 3 was a good game, and Sledgehammer definitely has potential. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us :)

UPON So glad there doing this hope this will improve the cod series
Yeah them having 3 years should make the quality of their games improve. I hope Treyarchs next one is good.

It will still pretty much be a copy and paste game with new guns and maps more than likely.
