Rumors have been flying around for a long while now that Call of Duty may go the way of the Battlefield series and take the step up to modern warfare. These rumors turned out to be nothing but speculation when the game released was Treyarch's Call of Duty 3, an exclusive console outing. However, Amped IGO says it has inside information from a 'reliable' source that not only speaks of the existence of Call of Duty 4, but that it will be based on modern warfare.
According to our source, Call of Duty 4 will be developed by Infinity Ward, the developer behind the first and second installments. The three-way deal established between Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Activision states that Infinity Ward will develop all even numbered titles while Treyarch develops the odd numbered games, such as Call of Duty 3. Treyarch did develop Call of Duty 2: Big Red One as well, however. - Amped IGO
When Battlefield took this step there is no doubt that it turned out to be better, but Battlefield has always been a far different ball game than the Call of Duty series. There's no word about whether or not it will be set in the Middle Eastern theatre but if it transfers the excellence of previous Call of Duty games into a modern swing then we may be looking at something good.
The game will apparently have 15 critical points shoot, including an enemies ear. It will also bring back PC gamers into the fold, having been excluded from the recent Call of Duty 3, with 54 players on the console versions multiplayer mode.
I've always been a bit skeptical about Call of Duty going modern but also think we've had enough World War 2 games to last a life time. I'll be following this project with interest.
