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."

NahhGossip Next COD should be MW2 just with better graphics imo.
I agree. Mw2 was the best call of duty of them all. That would be awesome if they did something like that.
I disagree, call of duty 4 before all the mods came in;)
I'm not saying I hate the mods, they are the funniest things.

1492LuxeLia-Tylaa- That would be awesome if they used Mw2 engine!
MW2 was a great engine but if they want to expand and completely renovate call of duty they should use a completely new engine.
But it looks worse every year I think, MW2 was the nicest
I completely agree with you, it was a great engine!
MW2 was defiantly the best.
