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."

Leisure 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.
Agreed, there is way too much complicated things to do now

Human please, no more milking, it can't continue forever
Sadly it's going to keep going. People want money more than anything and they're going to keep doing this.

I hope sledgehammer brings good things to their COD. I believe they will since they have some experience making cods.

How can you have on Infinity Ward?
They have created very good games.
I only like Treyarch because they created WaW and Black Ops 1, Really disliked bo2.

TrojanOG-SignedGeorgasm The only people capable of making quality Call of Duty games are Treyarch.
False. The two best CoD games were CoD4 and Mw2. Made by IW. Black Ops and Black Ops 2 were trash. Only good thing about them were Zombies. And this is coming from a lot of people, not just me.
I disagree, IMO COD 4 and MW2 by infinity ward were really good if not the best, BUT Black Ops 2 was a VERY good game all around. Good multiplayer plus zombies was great. Also the campaign wasn't to shabby either. Also Black Ops 2 opened up the competitive COD seen to A VERY LARGE amount of people with the release of League Play which is something that really upped the game.
I personally wasn't too fond of BO2, BO1 on the other hand I did like. To me, it seems like Treyarch is better at multiplayer and IW is better at the campaign.
