MW3 In development, being handled by 3 seperate developers....

Much speculation has surrounded who the developers of the next Modern Warfare title will be, following the fallout between Infinity Ward and Activision early last year.


Sledgehammer Games had been rumoured to be making Modern Warfare 3 but it seems they won't be the only developer trusted with the Modern Warfare brand.


As recently revealed by the LA Times, Sledgehammer along with Infinty Ward and fellow Activision developer Raven Software will all be contributing on the third in the Modern Warfare series.


According to the article Sledgehammer and Infinty will be sharing the work on single player duties and Raven will take charge of the all important multiplayer.


The LA Times also notes that Sledgehammer's Call of Duty spin-off, possibly of the sci-fi variety, will be delayed due to the studio helping with Modern Warfare 3.


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, like most COD games, is set for a release at the end of the year so stay tuned for more info on the all conquering franchise when we get it.

Not sure I like the sound of this. Were Raven behind the last Wolfenstein game? If they were they need to up their game becasue while Wolfenstein was fun online it was incredibly rough around the edges and lacked a hell of a lot of polish.

Unless they really pull out the stops and are able to develop something refreshing and different, this might be the first COD I give a miss - the formula is starting to wear thin and games like Brink are offering glimpses that FPS's could be ready to change direction

one thing i would like to see in the MP is the removal of the bloody gun ships. all other killstreaks i can live with.

But then again if 'Bulletstorm' and/or 'Brink' turn out good i wont bother with the next COD.

Agreed mate and yes Raven were responsible for Wolfenstien.....In some respects CoD is responsible for Brink etc because devs feel a need to distance themselves from the formula..

They should just scrap kill streaks full stop, but just keep the rc-xd's for Ian. I wonder how many times when Al was on tour just a couple more ragheads for my gunship

just remebered that GoW 3 and the new Ghost Recon are due out as well. so i wont be getting the new CoD.
