Bowling considers life beyond Call of Duty
Is also very tired...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may be just about the biggest thing since religion, and it is certainly likely to be the best-selling title of the Christmas season, but that doesn't mean Infinity Ward and designer Robert Bowling aren't considering life without their world-beating IP.
"Honestly we have no clue what our next game is. I'm planning on taking a nap for three months. And then maybe I'll wake up," quipped the game designer, speaking to Videogamer.
"When we feel like we can't innovate any further in the Call of Duty franchise, then we'll do something else. A lot of that mentality went into Modern Warfare 2. That's why it's Modern Warfare 2. It is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but you'll never see that in game. We never call it that. It's because we think of this as a new IP. This is our Modern Warfare 2 game. So we are constantly doing new stuff."
There has of course been some debate over whether the game is to be called Modern Warfare 2, or 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2', and it seems as if Activision and Infinity Ward want the best of both approaches.
"But yeah, eventually we'll do something else, and it will be fun and it will be awesome and it will be fresh and it will be great," Bowling concludes on a future title.
