Third-Person Won't Last Forever In Call Of Duty Franchise


Sledgehammer Games bossman Glen Schofield has stated that the developing firm will probably wind up canceling the third-person aspect in the Call of Duty franchise.

Sledgehammer Games are working on the franchise's next title after Modern Warfare 3. Speaking with CVG Schofield stated;
“We’ll probably cancel it,” said Schofield. “They gave us the choice of: do you want to work on Modern Warfare 3, or do you want to continue working on this? And we really liked that.

“We liked what we were doing. It third person, probably set at a time that might have niched it too much. I bet that if we had kept going, within a month or two I probably would have switched the time period, but kept the gameplay. It had some really cool stuff.”
Schofield stated that whatever title comes after MW3, it will be solely Sledgehammer's effort.
“This game has allowed both Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games to hire, and we hired really strong teams, both of us. We needed to come together on this one, but since then we’ve both grown, we’re both over 100 people now,” he said.

“Initially we weren’t fully functional because we had to learn a new engine. 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.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is out on November 8 for the PS3, 360, and PC.
