The next Call of Duty game is well into its development cycle and is expected to hit stores later this year, according to Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. The game is being developed by COD veteran Treyarch, who was behind the best-selling titles in the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2.
The franchise that is Call of Duty is certainly a strong selling IP, but the games have come under fire as of late. Hirshberg states the next title will "be loaded with innovation," something that's believed to be the result of the new three-year, three-developer strategy.
We'll hopefully have more details on the next release soon. What would you like to see in the new Call of Duty game?

Next Call of Duty scheduled for later this year, will be 'loaded with innovation'
"Loaded with innovation" lmao....the only "innovations" I'd like to see out of the CoD franchise is to not die by getting knifed in the fucking foot, better designed maps so people dont hide in corners with shotguns like cowards, shotguns that actually do fairly massive damage within a 30 yard distance compared to 2 feet in front of me just to get a hit marker, snipers that actually snipe from over a mile away and not in a 10 yard range with a "quickscope", and WAY less of a reliance on killstreaks. I dont like to be killed by a chopper immediately as soon as I reenter the map. Graphics enhancements and new guns are not innovations, that just leads to the game becoming another failure that the fanboys will call a "success". Hell my brother already hates Advanced Warfare, and I don't blame him. Until then, I remain an avid Battlefield player. At least that's a game that is a little more realistic when it comes to warfare.
COD Black ops 1 was the last COD i loved.It had everything from story to action to gameplay now all these games are shit and not to talk of battlefield which is boring.Cod ghosts was so short and not so fun and now Advanced warfare seems a hype.Damn give us a classic Black Ops.
Would be great if they remade COD WaW.
You need to make COD WW1 or COD Civil War, that would be awesome cannons, horses, one shot at a time and just think of all the expansion packs you could get out of it.
Treyarch is the best COD maker
They say that every year
I'll believe it when I see it.
Game is a broken record
Bring back WWI and WWII gameplay back. Those were the best games. World at War was probably one of their best games. The graphics were good too. Bouncing Betty's that jumped up and blew your leg off and it showed that. That's the kind of war game I like. Graphical detail of what war really does. Its not these so called paintball effects or a little bit of red mist when you get shot by a sniper or 50 cal.
You know you're successful when even people who claim they hate your product still buy it.
Lol, well said.
Battlefield knows how to innovate.
COD with Hololens would be awesome!
I think they should just wait like a year and THEN drop another call of duty, give everyone a chance to miss them
World War 1 or a Zulu campaign?
At least it's from trayarch so here's hoping for a decent pc port... At least as good a port as black ops 2 was
Innovation, I assume its gonna have the throwing knife, once you throw it you can move in mid air.
You will being playing as an cyborg. I'm sure of it.
It would be good if there were 2 years between releases and we had single player DLC after the first 12 months. Rather than releasing a while game every year.
Forever reminiscing about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The fact that the Call of Duty DLC packs makes mention of the "Fan favorite Modern Warfare" makes me somewhat hopeful that they'll try and get back to that style of play. A relaunch of Modern Warfare with updated features and graphics would be absolutely amazing.
At this point, I agree.
Lmao "loaded with innovation"....cod?? I doubt it. "guys you know what everyone wants? JETPACKS!" "Like Halo and titanfall?" " No no no this is a new innovation"
"Loaded with innovations" bahahahahahahaha
Another call of duty this year? WOW! I wouldn't have expected that!
Hopefully fish will move out of the way in this next-gen experience
>Call of Duty
>Innovation
Okay...
>implying we didn't know cod sucked anyways
Halo is love, Halo is life
been tired of COD , skipped the last 3 games.. it's just the same thing an not fun for me. I play Titanfall, Halo, Battlefield, and other shooters... just had enough of Call of Duty
AW ruined it for me, been on a WaW kick lately
I want second screen integration. Give me the ability to see stats/map/score etc at all times on my smartglass app. Could even make a scorestreak that removes 2nd screen abilities for a short period.
A good FPS should keep you hungry for putting more and more hours on your console, for upgrades of your equipment, for extra scores... That's exactly the point CoD is not doing to me anymore. It just hasn't this "I want more" feeling I had with former releases.
BF4! That's what i want the next COD to be like in addition to what it already offers.
+1
Battlefield is were its at 32vs32 !!!!
The only innovation every year is their promising tactic to make those units sell to skeptic customers!
Great because the recent ones suck!
Make world at war 2
i don't have cod francise but , they say this every single relase... i think they need to open the dictionary and find out whats innovation meaning is
I bought 3 versions of modern warfare and gave up.... Nothing but map changes.
COD BO3?
Are they going to ad Titans and just call it Titanfall 2?
The more features and action packed the game is, the less/shorter the campaign is gonna be... Sadly.... And in the end the general consensus about shooters is that just give us a great multiplayer and awesome maps and the campaign will be an added bonus, or the campaign will be just a means of unlocking certain weapons that you can't buy our unlock otherwise
Let's be fair short or not AW campaign is good, if a bit pastiche.
Omg noo, more call of duty innovation im exhausted.....
Tune in @ w w w. Call of Duty Central .com
Get back to your roots, stop with the lasers and exo suits, I know alot of people like that type of game, but there are plenty of games like halo or titanfall for them, get back to actual realistic warfare, an updated version of world at war or something like that. COD should be more actual warfare than sci-fi or at least that's what I'd like to see, just my two cents anyway
CoD will never touch Battlefield. That time has passed, and they blew it. The game needs more substance.
Already? The launch for AW is barely behind us. Not even interested in a "new" COD title
Sure...loads of inovations.. Weren't they claiming the exact same thing for BO2, Ghosts and AW? Yeah, sorry..I don't believe them anymore
I'll only buy it if it's going to be World at War 2. If not, I'm going to pass that and hope it will arrive 3 years later.
World at War II ???
I don't know but I'm not even buying cod anymore because this game series has ended for me years ago... Now I get for 70€ a graphical overhaul... Some games do this with updates
Every year the same story... Praising innovations, disappointing on the release! Activision is just making the load of money because of all the fanboys, which will buy almost exactly the same game as a year before. For myself, this is just waste of money.
Indeed, the same game released again and again and sold at top dollar. In Australia CoD games go for about $90-100 for six months or more on Steam. I could buy several games for that amount and I'd have more replayability from those.
I same here the exo spoiled COD for me. might buy it when it comes down in price like a ( 5 Pounds) haha.
How about a longer story campaign like how cod use to be.
Couldn't agree more. It seems like the campaign is just something they throw in because you have to have one, and all the focus is on multiplayer. What happened to the good immersing stories, like in Halflife? That was like you have been inserted into a tricky action movie. Oh..... Those times. :)
I thought the Advanced Warfare campaign was the best one the COD franchise has produced. It took about 10-11 hours to complete on Hardened difficulty which is an improvement.
It looks nice and the story isn't too bad, but for me I haven't enjoyed it. While going through it I've found myself questioning why the game really needs my input, it has me on rails just clicking a few buttons now and again to progress the story.
WW2 please.
That. WWII CoD's were great, though I remember clearly people asking for a contemporary setting, and here we are.
Have to admit AW is actually good. Don't like Treyarch approach on the IP.
I like IW ones personally as they made the original game. But yeah lets go back to ww2, or even ww1. I would rather they go to the civil war, nobody has made games on those. Only one good from treyarch is black ops, the first one
Oh yeah! I'd like to coop campaign back too.
Agreed
WAW II
Here we go again, thank god I move to Battlefield
Both BF and CoD haven't been anything different or innovative in years. CoD has been the same thing since CoD4 and BF has been the same thing since Bad Company. I bought BF2 because my roommate at the time said it was awesome. I hated the arcadey run and gun HP spawn camping crap. Then I jumped back in with Bad Company 2 and at first I thought it was an improvement, but got fed up and sick of the base R@ping and run and gun crap that still existed. Saw BF3 and was the same thing but with more bloom and lens flares & BF4 is just the same thing but with more vehicles and the commander came back. Still the same run and gun base r@ping crap. I hardly see a difference between CoD and BF these days with the exception of vehicles and aircraft.
I used to play Red Orchestra 2 most of the time since 2011 but after 3 or so years, I just got tired of it. Can't find any decent FPS out there anymore. Either they're too arcade like or they try to be too realistic to the point of being a simulator and suck the fun out of being a game. RO2 had a nice balance but it's development and support from the devs has been lackluster compared to RO1 or the mod that both were based on.
You obviously haven't been playing the Hardline beta. From all the trailers and such I thought it was gonna be a bunch of crap, but its actually good. Really good! Idk about you, but when I was a little lad we used to play cops and robbers, this is it in video game form.
Can't speak for the campaign though... Hope it has more missions than BF4
Hotwire is a great NEW game mode, cant get enough of hardline
With your attitude you shouldn't be playing any games. Funny how you think bf had been the same since bf2 but in fact only the core stayed the same which is teamwork and vehicles.
I prefer my FPS's to be ones where I shoot a guy in the chest or head with one shot and they drop, rather than shoot a guy multiple times with a shotgun at close rang, they don't die, they then shoot me twice with a pistol and I die because he has body armor and mag rounds he unlocked from spawn camping.... Then hides in a hole somewhere to magically heal himself.
That's a good one! Thanks, I needed a laugh today!
I love ❤ CoD!!!!!!!!
So they say.
I think everybody knows there's a new CoD game coming later this year like the other 50 games in the series.
Too late for innovation. I stopped buying them many games ago.
with hololens.
Far out! But far off............................
Oh boy, it's the time of year again where we'll see countless COD articles all over the internets. Man how time flies. But really, I don't have expectations for the franchise at this point, what with 10 or so good COD games already out to keep me busy.
What does ip stand for?
It's intelectual property. In game industry it means game series.
Thanks
Intellectual property.
On another topic. Just got an invite for neverwinter closed beta :) but yeah. Cod, not sure. The last one was actually quite good though.
Haven't they been making promises like that since after Modern Warfare? The only innovative thing COD has done in years was copy Titanfall and add more vertical movement with AW.
Maybe they'll just copy it more and let you attach to walls and actually go on top of any building like Titanfall does way better
And it still runs on the ancient Quake Arena engine.....
That's actually good.... In a way. No high end rigs needed, which opens up the game to a much bigger audience.
But still defeats Microsoft's ideal of a no dx9 world
Yeah. Better graphics better places. Better story etc etc. Same old Call of duty with better everything in it this time.... AGAIN.
Call of Duty... This time with even more Bloom and Contrast than before.
Loaded with innovation - haha.. would be the first than for the last 5 years
Love u COD *_*
This years innovation with COD...boosters which help you jump farther...next innovation...boosters that help you jump a little more than last year lol..
I won't even buy it if there is exo crap. It ruined call of duty for me.
These guys need to play Wolfenstein New Order, absorb, and make a game with that kind of depth, in the story, and all the bang bang gameplay one could want. No exo suits though - COD isn't Crysis or Warhammer 40k!!!;
Downhill since mw3, I'm pretty much done with cod at this point. Destiny ftw!!!
LOL because Destiny is sooooo much better right? Grindfest with a ton of bugs.
Destiny is good and all and has enjoyable PvP but for me both games complement each other as they are completely different styles of gameplay. Out of the big 3 PvP FPS's last year I prefered Titanfall for it's fluid movement, it seems a lot move natural than using exo suits in COD:AW.
Fortunately I now have a PS4, but unfortunately than means no more Titanfall for me.
im not buying cod anymore this year.. i bought AW, and its fun and all but ihad it for barely 5 months and there is already a new one coming? whats wrong with them?
That's the way it been since forever.... They release a new one every year, no suprises, you can expect it. That's why they have three different developers of the game so they can put one out every year.
fuck that, im a casual gamer, im not gonna be buying these games every year, last game i bough was gta, since then i only have bought destiny, cod, evolve and im planning on buying bf hardline, thats 4 games on a year. not gonna buy another cod game until 2016 or so
And you call yourself as a casual gamer. Oh hypocrite.
Well you've bought more games than I have and I don't consider myself to be a casual gamer
