This is actually a divisive decision these days. Sledgehammer, which contributed to Modern Warfare 3, is taking its first stab at a standalone Call of Duty game with Advanced Warfare.Īs with its many predecessors, Advanced Warfare weds a cinematic action movie of a single-player game to a frantic twitch-shooting multiplayer game. Treyarch will likely continue its Black Ops line, and one assumes that Infinity Ward will continue its mediocre Ghosts series. The increasing complexity of the Call of Duty games has led Activision to take a three-pronged approach, with three studios (Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer) developing three arcs in parallel. Whatever the reason, that same magic is just never there.
Maybe it's simply because I've changed and Call of Duty hasn't. Maybe it's because Modern Warfare just happened to be the right game at the right time, ushering in something that managed to feel fresh and new after so many World War II games. Maybe it's because I've simply put the original Modern Warfare on an undeserved, nostalgia-tinged pedestal in my mind. Every year, I play the latest Call of Duty installment in the hope of recapturing the thrill that I felt playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the first time back in 2007.
