Activision draws up battle plan for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Earlier this month, rumors circulated that the next Call of Duty title would focus on the Ghost character who first appeared in Modern Warafare 2.
While that rumor hasn’t been squashed, it also hasn’t been confirmed by Activision. But what the next title will be based on hasn’t been the focus of blogs and news sites in recent days - which game studio will be developing the game has been the buzz.
The independent Xbox fan site, thisisxbox.com, suggested Infinity Ward would be the game studio creating Modern Warfare 3.
However it’s looking less likely that Infinity Ward will be the only studio involved in its development, as Infinity Ward is still feeling the aftershocks of the studio’s collapse after Jason West (Infinity Ward president) and Vince Zampella (CEO and co-founder of Infinity Ward) were dismissed from the company. Shortly after the departure of West and Zampella, dozens of other Infinity Ward employees followed voluntarily.
The ex-Infinity Ward heads and former employees went on to form Respawn.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Activision is calling in reinforcements from its other studios to develop the next Call of Duty title.
Infinity Ward’s operations apparently have been affected enough that it has called in reinforcements to make the next Call of Duty military game. The studio was able to pull off prior games without aid, as it did with 2008′s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and 2006′s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Activision has quietly tapped Sledgehammer Games, a Northern California studio, to help out with the making of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, according to people familiar with the situation. The game has not been officially announced by Activision. But the title is well into production and is expected to come out in November, the same month that the publisher has annually released a new Call of Duty installment, people with knowledge of situation said. Modern Warfare 3 will be the first game Infinity Ward has produced since the departure of of company co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella.

Raven Software reportedly hiring for realistic military first person shooter

Do you have what it takes?
Here’s what Game Rant has to say:
The development house behind Singularity, Raven Software, has been putting out the call for applications from people who want to work on an “established, console based, realistic military first person shooter” (try saying that three times fast). Raven is seeking staff members who can work on visual and other effects and game assets (modeling, textures). Speculation regarding Raven working on Black Ops DLC has been put to rest as the job listing calls for those interested to “come work with [Raven] on our exciting new unannounced title.”
