Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Is Being Developed By Sledgehammer Games And Infinity Ward

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Activision has recruited Sledgehammer Games to help Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 meet its November release date, according to the LA Times. Last March the heads of Infinity Ward, Vince Zampella and Jason West, were fired, taking many of IW's talent with them. They started a new company, Respawn Entertainment, leaving what was left of Infinity Ward to develop the annual Call of Duty in time for November. Sources close to the situation say Activision has asked Sledgehammer Games to help finish Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Sledgehammer Games is made up of former Visceral Games members, the team behind Dead Space. Shortly after their formation Activision announced they would be working on a "Call of Duty game that will extend the franchise into the action-adventure genre." This game was slated for 2011. However it seems that this project has been put aside now that Sledgehammer is taking on half the weight of developing CoD: Modern Warfare 3's single player. Raven Software has been recruited to work on the multiplayer.

In the past Infinity Ward was the only developer behind Modern Warfare games. This is the first time Activision has sought help to reach their deadline. Call of Duty games are unofficially released every year. If the next Call of Duty game was delayed or seemed rushed it could be detrimental to Activision Blizzard's reputation and wallet.

    i idslke when players say "i might pick it up eventually" give me a freakin break your gonna be waiting in line just like everybody else. that being said... i hope that mw3 will be great like cod 4 was cause that is what has kept me buying all these years, in hopes of another refreshing game that isnt hacked to hell or lopsided. i do wish the cod franchise was less mainstream so you dont have all the squeakers that have there moms buy the game for them and the hardcore ppl that dont know how to have a life and find every single glitch, these people pollute and destroy online multiplayer. most of the time i just have to play with everybody muted because there so annoying, and that makes it hard to play as a team and enjoy the game. also we need gun packs...yes you heard it right gun packs not map packs i think itd be pretty sweet. its clear the franchise needs a overhall something refreshing and new and hopefully mw3 will provide that.

    look so far the call of duty games for the past four or five years have been okayish treyarch hasn't done the best of jobs on their games with multiplayer but did better this year with black ops. i just dont see why treyarch and infinityward could work together one creates the award winning single player witch treyarch is known for and a zombies variation. then infinityward creates an award winning multiplayer and bam you got the best call of duty game ever. because you got the good single player and the best multiplayer around and another game of the year. best of both worlds. but needless to say its time to put vehicles back in the call of duty games make it interesting. im not going to get the next call of duty game im waiting for BATTLEFIELD 3

    I personally think that they should continue to make call of duty games for the simple fact that millions of people will continue buying them, (me) and many more, plus, they r making a huge profit in the long run

    3 developers is ridiculous this game wont drop forever cuz with 3 developers theyre not gunna agree on anything, just the whole franchise of "call of duty" is starting to get me really mad, i even heard that if you get mw3 and u have an xbox an extra 5 dollars a month will need to be paid just to play online but on ps3 it will still be free (gotta love sony :) , infinity ward just needs to sit down alone and create this game them selves the other games by them have been pretty ok but theres room to improve ... long story short 3 developers aint gunna work and its gunna set back the actual release date for mw3
