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."

"saw no real challenge" good for them for choosing not to help in the creation of the next Call of Duty as it would probably only take a few minutes to make...considering nothing much changes from game to game.

OmittingCoderGamerTechz Well, I am glad because they made borderlands a cartoon like game. Call of Duty would be crap in a "cartoon" mode :)
It's already crap lol.
So true

Oh Lord, "saw no real challenge". That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while, I'm sure IW has the jimmies rustled up a bit right now.
I'm happy Gearbox isn't wasting there time with an incredibly crap game.

guys don't understand, making call of duty is no challenge.
Use the same engine.
Graphics will be the same.
If they ever want to make cod, they would use a new engine if available as said above they wanted to do something 'new'.
Not the same gameplay like the rest of the CoDs

VisionaryMGMT Man, I wish they would've accepted. They made borderlands the great game it is. They could surely make cod incredible.
I dont know, I dont want the game to be like Borderlands at all really...
