    IW's 2011 CoD Prequel Rumor

    Bashandslash.com posted up this bit of news:

    Thanks to BASHandSlash.com reader spawnstar for the heads up on this.

    Rumors are circulating on thisisxbox.com that Call of Duty development studio Infinity Ward (IW) will be making the 2011 Call of Duty title...as they normally do on the "odd" year. Up to now they have been sharing dev duties with Treyarch, but many have speculated that with so many of IW's staff leaving the studio in the aftermath of Zampella and West's firing, that IW might actually be folded into Treyarch or disbanded.

    The rumors strongly refute this speculation.

    thisisxbox.com quotes an informant that IW is working on an MW2 Prequel based on their MW2 character Ghost. Apparently, the game will involve the lead up to the war in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and then reveal Ghost's entry into Task Force 141.

    As I confirmed with Activision tonight, the producer has up to now, never officially stated who is working on 2011's CoD game. All Activison has officially said is that Sledgehammer is working on a new CoD and that IW is also working on a new CoD.

    There was talk some time back that Activision was trying to figure out ways to spin off the Ghost character. Could this be it? Is it just too soon to tell what work Infinity Ward is doing with Call of Duty?

    Considering that they lost almost all of their top designers and I believe over 1/3 of their staff (not including any secretaries or any non-designing jobs), IW is a completely different company. It will be interesting to see how they do. Not getting the game though.

      Ugh, why did they set up a character just to kill him off?

            Do people really still care about CoD? Especially the storyline :/

              Honestly, I still enjoy the games, WaW was the only one I didn't enjoy felt way to bland after COD4. MW2 defending Washington DC, BOps escaping Vorkuta or even the last levels still some of my favorite scenes in any game and I'm not even getting into COD4.

                  This is one time when I might not get a COD game. Fell like they are forcing the game down our throat. Can anyone say Tony Hawk all over again. You would think Activision would have learned their lesson from that one.

                    Maybe they'll finally move onto a new engine with all the new employees? Though that's probably too optimistic.

                        COD4 was the best. really brought out the multiplayer for me after Battlefield 2. but MW2, and Black Ops just killed it. the story is still their. i call me crazy if you want, i like the single player, but the MP is just downright awful after COD4. 6v6? really on PC!? what the hell, and BO only 9v9? BFBC2 has 32 player servers and i am still playing it as well as BF2! Black ops has a laggy menu and MP argh, the server browser is the only thing that i enjoyed in the aspect of MP.

                        So yeah i will side with the rest of you guys on this. its $$$ and more $$$, tony hawks was good...was.

                          Obviously never played CoD/UO.

                            CoD has a storyline?
