More details about COD 6
Infinity Ward Developing Call of Duty 6 for 2009
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Confusingly, Griffith’s presentation today seemed to date CoD 6 for 2010 as well. After discussing Treyarch’s Call of Duty: World at War, which he referred to as Call of Duty 5, the CEO said that “for calendar year 2010, Infinity Ward is already at work on the next installment in the franchise.”
Following publisher Activision’s “leapfrog strategy” of alternating developers, Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty 6 will follow up Treyarch’s Call of Duty: World at War, which launches on November 5 for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PS2, and Wii. Treyarch had also developed Call of Duty 3 as a part of that strategy.
Electronic Arts (EA) been throwing punches at Modern Warfare 2 for sometime claiming that the new Battlefield: Bad Company from the DICE studio would have dedicated servers for the PC gamers. It will be valuing the importance of PC gameplay and also customization of it.
Jens Uwe, headmaster of the European division of EA, said in an interview on Friday, “In March we will launch Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is our first strong attack on Call Of Duty… The shooter space is one we don’t want to give up. It’s an important genre and we were the number one. So we are certainly working on how we can get that crown back and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an important product in that context.”
One who has played first Bad Company as well as the Modern Warfare titles may be knowing well that the games are very different in style and also in gunplay. We may also have found out that DICE is on the way of making some changes in it such as making the enemies more easier to kill to fall in line.
