Call of Duty 8 first details

[justlookingaround]

Sledgehammer games are making it (it's their first ever title) so it won't be Modern Warfare 3 (Infinity Ward will announce that this time next year ). Rumors are spreading (with actual background, not just some weirdo who sits in front his computer all day) that it will take place in SPACE! In the far future.

The concept of a sci-fi themed Call Of Duty also cropped when we were taking tea with members of Black Ops developer Treyarch last week. Although they poured a certain amount of scorn on the concept we got the impression that the idea had been, or indeed is being, seriously considered.

Sledgehammer have also said they intend for this to be a different take on Call of Duty with an action/adventure twist to it (likely means more scripted scenes) but will keep the trend of being an FPS.
Discuss.

I think I'm actually having a kind of 'burnout' in regards to Call of Duty, it just doesn't do anything for me anymore and I don't see myself buying another one, let alone a sci-fi one.

They should release Cods every 2-3 years and actually release a stable game .. all we're doing is buying a glitched game every year

What a fail

Black Ops will probably be my last CoD, lots of multiplayer features to keep me entertained but in saying that, the idea of a space CoD does sound interesting even if i cant picture it. Goes in the maybe pile for now.

That's the end of the successful Call of Duty series. This is gonna be shite.

They're made up of devs from EA's Visceral Games though (Dead Space, Dante's Inferno).

This will be dross though, undoubtedly, sci-fi would be hilarious to try and put across for a series so stuck in reality like COD likes to be.

What would be nice is if Sledgehammer could take over IW's iterations and let IW create something new. They're a good developer and know how to make a good game, they just lost their way with MW2 by stacking it with way too much, there's core elements there that you can see why they are considered such a good developer.

Would actually be pretty rad with swords.

Jousting is surely a game type.

I would have though they would start making COD 5 before they start on 8. Been re-releasing the same game for how many years now?

To be honest, Black Ops is the only one that isn't a whole new game in my mind, just a polished up version of WaW. COD4 was revolutionary and MW2, as s**t as it may have been.. was an original game.

think im finished with the cod series
