Infinity Ward is not creating Modern Warfare 3, according to a VG247 source, and is instead working on something “completely new”.

 The details come from US insiders.

Infinity Ward has this far avoided the issue of its work after Modern Warfare 2, saying no decision had been made on further projects in the run up to the shooter’s launch last November.

“Right now we don’t have a clue what our next game is going to be, and we won’t know what it will be until we finish with Modern Warfare 2, which won’t be for a while,” studio frontman Rob Bowling told IGN UK last October.

MW2 DLC packs are scheduled to release this “spring” as a timed 360 exclusive.

It’s unclear where the third game will be made if IW really has gone AWOL from the series.

We were told by one dev source that a Canadian studio was handling it, but another pointed to newly-formed Sledgehammer Games, headed by ex-Visceral bosses Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey.

Sledgehammer, based in the Bay Area, is currently recruiting for a multiplayer designer with “five years experience working on current AAA multiplayer shooters for current consoles and PC.”

The identity of Sledgehammer’s first project is yet to be announced.

Activision’s only Canadian developer is Vancouver-based Radical Entertainment, the studio behind last year’s free-roaming adventure, Prototype.

Rumour surrounding the Call of Duty franchise in general is escalating. A report yesterday claimed that Treyarch is currently putting together a story-focused, Vietnam-based episode in the series for release later this year.

Activision had not returned calls at the time of writing.

Damn these rumors already when MW2 just came out. I dont mind if they did something different

Please let it be a Korean war setting

No aliens...no sale!

I don't really care who develops it, (if it stands between Treyarch and Infinity Ward. that is) it probably won't be the same anyway. World at War was atrocious and Modern Warfare 2 a huge letdown so either way I probably won't like it.

Halo 4

Developed by the people who brought you the good call of duties: Infinity Ward



lol. I wonder how they would make a halo game though.

call of duty 8: advanced warfare

iraq war please

that's so fucking annoying the map packs will be 360 timed exclusive. Does Microsoft really think people will buy their $200 system and a hard drive (which you need to download anything) and a copy of MW2 just because they are timed exclusive?

All that is, is a fucking annoyance to PS3 owners. Like yeah I own a 360 so whatever but I bought MW2 for PS3. I'm not buying a copy of MW2 for 360.

On Topic I sure hope they do a new series; preferably not under Activision. That would be super awesome.

Call of Duty: Futuristic Warfare.

I'm calling it now.
