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."

As much as I would want them to develop it, seeing his points, he has some really good arguments...

NoggerMcGooCuddleMuffins I don't want gearbox help making COD. They made NFS: The Run and that was the worst need for speed yet. Glad they declined it, they would have ruined it.Implying CoD isn't sh*t in the first place.
Gearbox didn't make nfs anyway.

I'm glad Gearbox declined because they are a great company, and if the COD turned out bad then it would ruin their reputation.

SasukeUzamakiHarmfulMushroom I don't think I've laughed this hard in a good long while! My respect for Gearbox just went through the roof. Turning down an offer that would guarantee big profits because you wanted to develop something new and unique, don't see that everyday haha.
Couldn't have put it better myself LOOL. Call of Duty needs to die.
The kids love it though.
