Sledgehammer Games job listing seeking artist for weather system

4.3
The job listing put out by Sledgehammer Games's own Gamesutra page gave a few details regarding what to expect from the CoD series in 2014 graphics wise. The listing itself was for a temporary VFX Artist position.

The VFX team at Sledgehammer Games is looking for experienced and passionate VFX artists to join our AAA team. In this position, the artists will work closely with the Lead VFX Artist, Art Director, Technical Art Director, Lighting and Design team to create the most exceptional real-time effects with hyper realism for our current project. The candidates will have the opportunity to contribute in various areas of in-game effects including but not excluding weaponry effects, vehicle destruction, large-scaled rigid body simulations and environmental effects such as fire, smoke, water, and weather system.Job Listing





The last sentence should get you excited as it implies upcoming CoD titles will feature full on weather systems. The listing requires applicants to have experience with "current gen" consoles as well as next gen. This is in line with Activision recently confirming that 2014's CoD release will still release on "current gen" consoles.

I wish they would go back to MW2 graphics, the only game NOBODY complained about (except grenade launchers).

fub Maybe they are focusing more on graphics in the next CoD.

Just hope it wasn't as much of a mess up as Ghosts.


Nah the graphics aren't the problem the whole game is.

-Dynamic So we are going to be playing call of duty in the rain ahah ? ;)


Rain, snow, and all sorts of weather I think that is a great additive to the game, maybe it will be realistic.


That would be a nice new addition to Cod.

Invictus Hopefully this game is worth buying.


I think that it will, if it has a 3 year dev cycle I am sure it will be worth it.
