Sledgehammer staffing up for 'next-gen Call of Duty game'
Sledgehammer Games is actively recruiting in a bid to strengthen the development team working on a next-gen Call of Duty game.
Earlier this week, parent company Activision posted more than ten Sledgehammer job adverts across a range of disciplines including art, design, animation and engineering. Multiple job ads note that the studio is "working on a next-gen Call of Duty game".
Formed in 2009, California-based Sledgehammer originally worked on an unfinished third person Call of Duty game before being drafted in to help Infinity Ward complete Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
While the nature of its new game remains a mystery, Sledgehammer general manager Glen Schofield told us in October 2011 that he thought the studio would work alone following its MW3 collaboration with Infinity Ward, the studio primarily responsible for 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts.
"This game has allowed both Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games to hire, and we hired really strong teams, both of us," he said. "We needed to come together on this one, but since then we've both grown, we're both over 100 people now.
"Initially we weren't fully functional because we had to learn a new engine," Schofield added. "Now we have, I think the best thing that could happen for Activision would be for us to both go off and make our own game. Whether that's a Call of Duty game or not is up in the air. I plan to continue working on Call of Duty."

FlutterBat-WaterSexxiLeisure Don't know how to feel about this. I want the next Cod to be really good and more simple, but just like the previous cod's they have all turned out fairly bad.
The last good COD was BO1
BO1 was a fantastic game. They need to stop with COD games fairly soon.
They should go back and re-do WaW, it was an awesome game but it was made terribly.
like a package deal like WaW and cod4 both revamped

They need to slow down. All these companies end up rushing out their games to make a quick buck, but it always has flaws. Take a year or two and make it worth it to buy. Im getting tired of the same thing over and over again

They just need to stop with the COD series tbh.. It's already a fail only reason there selling cause everyone hopes it's better than the last but nope. Not a BF fanboy but it beats the shit out of it. Titanfall will probably be the next big thing, I hope

Genetics well then. 11 call of duties. Wonder if they will just start renaming the series?
What's left? They took all the idea that could come up with lol.

FlutterBatSexxi I think they should give it 3 years and work hard on it
They will never do that, they want the money.
Yeah, it will never be that long for them
