Sledgehammer: Our third-person Call of Duty title will probably be cancelled
Studio may work on something other than COD next
After their experiences working on Modern Warfare 3, Sledgehammer Games GM Glen Schofield has revealed that they'll probably cancel their own Call of Duty project.
Sledgehammer were originally beginning work on a third-person action title in the Call of Duty series but it was shelved so that they could help Infinity Ward put the finishing touches to Modern Warfare 3.
Schofield began on their own COD title: "We'll probably cancel it. They gave us the choice of: do you want to work on Modern Warfare 3, or do you want to continue working on this? And we really liked that. We liked what we were doing. It's third person, probably set at a time that might have niched it too much. I bet that if we had kept going, within a month or two I probably would have switched the time period, but kept the gameplay. It had some really cool stuff."
He continued: "Initially we weren't fully functional because we had to learn a new engine. Now we have, I think the best thing that could happen for Activision would be for us to both go off and make our own game. Whether that's a Call of Duty game or not is up in the air. I plan to continue working on Call of Duty."
