    We've known for a few months that Sledgehammer Games will be taking over the reins for this year's Call of Duty entry, and our next cover story features twelve pages of exclusive and extensive details. We visited the studio, spoke with co-founders Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, and are ready to tell you everything we know.

    To time the issue's release with the first trailer for the game, we will be releasing this issue three days early for our digital subscribers.

    This Sunday at 12:00 PM Central time (10:00 AM Pacific) we will reveal the cover image and the first details on the game including the name, so please come back this weekend to see the cover and the game in action for the first time. We will release the digital issue shortly afterwards.

    In the meantime, we have this in-game screen shot that has many hints about the next Call of Duty (and puts many of the rumors to bed).

    Golden gate Bridge. San francisco. America invaded again? Sigh. They should have given this series at least a year off.

    They did shifted to 3 year production cycle. Its a good thing. Though at this stage I care ( on a sale careish ) only about Trayarch Call of Duty as they try to make it more interesting by mixing a formula a bit. Plus single player of Black OPS 2 was freaking amazing.

    So yeah, I will still watch it, hopefully they will show actual gameplay. If they are on the same engine again.... well..... Gl luck lads... :pac:

    I find it hard to stress just how bored I've become with this series. It's like every time I look at the shelves of a games shop there's a new Call of Duty staring back at me that looks no different from the last one.

    Ghosts Single Player was a disaster. I think the last single player I genuinely really enjoyed was the first Black Ops - I used to buy them for SP and MP, but I didn't play Ghosts online at all, and Black Ops 2 only on rare days. Only got around to playing the BF4 single player recently, far better than Ghosts effort.

    The vintage Call of Duty school of design has already gotten the boot up the arse and forward thinking refinement it deserves. It just happens to be called Titanfall.

    I played some of Titanfall when it was in beta, and loved it. I'm just hoping that it doesn't also cough up an annual release.

    I swore I read somewhere that the next one was set in WW1. Maybe I dreamt it. I haven't played one since MW2 so a WW1 version might have been interesting.

    Flashbacks like in black ops :pac:

    Call of Duty: Flashbacks

    I'd buy it.

    All the while Call of Duty Online is F2P on PC and delivers the best levels from the MW series.

    Isn't that China only though? I can't imagine connection would be much good even if you could get into it.

    I've played, ping is about 150ms, fine for me mostly.

    This may be rose tinted glasses and all that, but I think if they just re-released MW2 MP, nerfed the noob-tube and commando and sorted out the spawns and hackers and made it DLC for MW2, rather than a new game I would be more than happy to buy it.

    Even with two studios, the most popular/interesting of games is going to get tiresome after a few years of updates/re-releases.

    As someone who used to love COD, COD1 , United Offensive...COD2 , Modern Warfare etc,,,,
    My reaction in the last few years at each new announcement about moddable weapons and dogs has gone from

    what i gather from that screenshot is they are trying to make a Titanfall competitor. Here is your soldier in an exoskeleton. Oh. Wow. Let me jizz all over myself and throw my wallet on the ground, I get to run fast with a machinegun and jump a story and a half.

    So... Call of Duty Crysis edition it is then.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Wow, that facial animation of Kevin Spacey is pretty terrible, an utterly dead-eyed waxwork. I guess CoD's animations were always a bit janky, but the fact this time they're using such a familiar, celebrity face just makes it look worse than normal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭heebusjeebus


    Looks more like Call of Duty: House of Cards Edition

    Uh?

    I dont know how to feel about this. The trailer looks good, but I'll definitely be holding of on purchasing until at least a fortnight after launch. ghosts just burned me too badly with the level of suck it bought to the table.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,414 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    It'll sell like crazy, regardless of what we say about it here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,924 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    I am always very optimistic about cod new releases and always get a slap up to my face ( black ops 2 was exception, I did discovered it only very late in to its life spam).
    This looks like it could be fun, some really cool tech, but I can already bet my balls on it, it is only single player and multilayer will be old same **** with same killstreaks, bit in different skins.

    Then again, looks like they are on same old engine, which at this stage: are you fecking kidding me?!




  • There is never anything subtle about Call of Duty anymore, it's a constant barrage of high octane action it's same old and exhausting formula.
    I'd swore I watched a combination of Crysis & Black Ops II

    Amusingly enough, I only decided to play catch up on the CoD games this week with BLOPS I currently winging its way through the postal system to me.

    Not gona lie, this does look fun though but I'm one of those odd people who play these games primarily for the single player campaign. It's my Summer Blockbuster title I suppose, I know what I'm getting myself in for and so far haven't been disappointed. I did put about 90 hours into MW2 online before I hit the boredom wall hard but from the looks of footage from subsequent games, it doesn't look like there's been anything added to bring me back any time soon.

    As for the engine issue, I doubt they'll go for a full rewrite until they completely move to next gen, until then there's no real point investing in tech and asset creation when the biggest selling SKUs won't be able to use it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81 ✭✭hardweir


    I thought they were using a new engine for this because it looks the same as all the others,i bet the guns will look the same and sound the same all over again.
    Christ even the name,they went from modern warfare to advanced,that was the best they could do.
    If titanfall had never happened and a new call of duty trailer came out that had the ideas and gameplay of titanfall,then you could say that they are at least trying something fresh but this is just depressing.
    Throwing a badly animated kevin spacey is not going to make me sit up and take notice.

    Erm, COD Forum...

    Anyway, Ghosts was utterly appalling - it was also completely and unplayably broken. It was worse than BF4 for me (which was totally trucked for everyone when it launched). Stick a fork in CoD, it's done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭ziggyman17


    looks ****e.. should have gone back to world war 2 setting...... too much futuristic stuff going on... want a fps thats a good gun and run style game and is not to over reliant on gadgets and what like..........

    So, I reckon the 'Modern' suffix has been retired and it will be 'Advanced' from now on; Advanced Warfare, Advanced Warfare 2, etc., etc. Must be saving 'Future' for another time.

    However, I am sure we can call this one: House of Cod; Cards of Duty; Call of Duty: House of Cards; Call of Cards: Spacey Warfare.

    I think what annoys me the most is that they always lead with a single-player trailer, suggesting a single-player game. And no matter how good the single-player looks, it will still be a short-arsed <6 hour campaign of corridor action.
