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.

Miss Reminds me of Battlefield.... looking forward to seeing the next CoD with all the new stuff added!

Same i hope it will be good since it will take them 2-3 years instead of releasing 1 each year.

It is truly sound amazing, I can't wait!

The next call of duty sounds really good, i hope sledgehammer re-amps COD and does a better job than IW with ghosts.

-LOST- Can't wait to see the next two cods. They should be a lot better since they're focusing on the next-gen consoles and not the 360 and ps3.

And you know this how?

Considering support for the 360 will go at least until 2016, and base platform player count is what matters, you can bet that cod won't focus on 'next gen' until they've completely milked this cow dry.

Sledgehammer has said that next cod is going to be more focused on next gen.

OT: just imagine dynamic weather systems that always change when ever you play :o

This is already sort of included in Battlefield 4...

This is awesome that they will still be releasing the new cod on the current gen consoles so people won't have to upgrade quite yet.
