Next year's Call of Duty has gone through a major upheaval, as publisher Activision informed developers this week that studios Raven and Sledgehammer, which had until now led the project, will no longer be in charge. Instead, according to three people familiar with goings-on at the companies, Treyarch will lead development on a new Black Ops for 2020.
It's a significant shift for Activision's massive first-person shooter franchise, which is one of the most lucrative video game series on the planet. Every fall for the past 15 years, Activision has put out a new Call of Duty game, supported by a stable of different developers who rotated duties as required. Since 2012, Activision has followed a three-year cycle for its three lead studios: Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer. The results have looked like this:
2012 – Treyarch – Call of Duty: Black Ops II
2013 – Infinity Ward – Call of Duty: Ghosts
Call of Duty was on a pretty set 3 year development cycle starting in 2014 with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Sledgehammer Games was added to the rotation alongside Infinity Ward and Treyarch to give the teams an extra year to release their latest Call of Duty title. Product Description. The best selling shooter of all time Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is coming to Wii. Ported to the Wii by Treyarch, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex brings to Nintendo fans the intense and cinematic experience of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, winner of 50 combined Editors Choice and Game of the Year awards.

The IW engine is a game engine developed by Infinity Ward and Treyarch for the Call of Duty series.The engine was originally based on id Tech 3 as its core, since the engine itself is proprietary with inclusion of GtkRadiant by id Software.It has been used in the past by Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games. Welcome to Call of Duty: Black Ops III, a dark future where a new breed of Black Ops soldier emerges and the lines are blurred between humanity and the technology we created to stay ahead, in a world where cutting-edge military robotics define warfare. Call of Duty is a first person shooter that is available for gaming consols and PC. The game franchise includes Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops 1, 2, 3 and 4, and Call of Duty WW2 (WWII).
For 2020, Activision had originally switched things up, assigning the Wisconsin-based support studio Raven to take a leadership role alongside Sledgehammer to make a Call of Duty game set during the Cold War (likely involving Vietnam). As of very recently, that's changed. Now Treyarch, based in Santa Monica, California, is in charge of leading Call of Duty: Black Ops 5 for2020.
According to those briefed on the overhaul, Treyarch will take creative leadership on this new Black Ops while Raven and Sledgehammer will serve as support studios for the game, transforming the work they've done on their own single-player story mode into a campaign for Black Ops 5, which will also be set during the Cold War. (This may be a welcome return for fans, who criticized the lack of campaign in Black Ops 4.) It will likely be a cross-gen game, to coincide with the launch of the next PlayStation and Xbox, which are also expected in the fall of 2020.
What this means is that rather than getting three years to make their next game after Black Ops 4, Treyarch will have just two. Some at the company say they're not pleased about that, and are already bracing for brutal overtime hours like they faced last year on Black Ops 4. Others have told Kotaku they're excited about the change, as they have a solid game plan that isn't likely to change drastically, unlike their last two projects. (We'll have more to share about Treyarch and the development of Black Ops 4 in the coming weeks.) Jehovah witness bible online.
This news comes during a strange time for Activision and Call of Duty. Although Black Ops 4 sold well at first, we've heard that it hasn't had quite the revenue tail that Activision's bean-counters were hoping to see. Internally, Activision executives have started to talk about embracing free-to-play as a revenue model—once anathema to the publisher—and, three sources say, are looking into offering a free-to-play component for this year's new Modern Warfare, although the specifics may not be finalized yet. Some within Activision have remained resistant to the idea.

The past year has also been rough for the San Francisco-based Sledgehammer. In February 2018, Kotaku broke the news that Sledgehammer's co-founders, Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield, had left the studio. Although Activision spun it as a promotion, saying they'd take on 'new executive duties,' it was very clearly an ousting, and the two quietly exited shortly afterwards. Earlier this year, Condrey started a new Silicon Valley studio with the publisher 2K, where he's recruited dozens of Sledgehammer staff. The studio has been hemorrhaging employees over the past few months, much to the dismay of those who remain.
One primary reason behind this Call of Duty upheaval, according to two people familiar with happenings at Activision, is the tension between Sledgehammer and Raven, whose staff are said to have argued frequently during the past year of development on Call of Duty 2020. Two people familiar with the project described it as a mess. Now, both studios will serve as support for Treyarch as the publisher prepares to release Black Ops 5.
Activision declined to comment.

Call of Duty is back in the news with the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The consensus following the release of the alpha has been positive and the community seems to be looking ahead to playing the beta and of course, the final release.
Unsurprisingly, comparisons between Black Ops Cold War and the 2019 Call of Duty Modern Warfare have cropped up.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare has some serious problems in its meta
Earlier this year, CoD professional Scump, who is undoubtedly one of the best players of the game, opened up on Modern Warfare. The pro has been very vocal about his claim that Warzone saved Modern Warfare. This might not be the most popular opinion, but Scump, just like his plays, has a way with words.
A lot of other people also feel that Modern Warfare gained more popularity because of Warzone. The game has nerfed important perks like Dead Silence to a degree where it is of little use. As a result, players have resorted to camping more than ever. The easiest thing to do in the game is to sit back and camp.
The game also has problems with the spawning meta, which ruins the competitive gameplay. Moreover, skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) is still a thing for public matches. A lot of players feel it should be restricted to the ranked gameplay.
Will Black Ops Cold War regain the trust of the community?
It might sound harsh, but Cold War will probably get a lot of appreciation for improving some very basic elements like returning the Ninja perk and changing the mini-map. Other basic features like map voting will return in the game and players have expressed their appreciation for it.
Many also feel Call of Duty Cold War Alpha has better gunsmith and perk variety than the entire Modern Warfare game. There are minor changes in the time to kill, but it's definitely worth it.

However, skill-based matchmaking is still a heated debate where pros like Scump and Nadeshot are against it. And last but not least, Zombies!
Zombies return in the game and the fan expectations are really high from the game mode.
All in all, the latest game is definitely on track to be better than Modern Warfare. Looks like the presence of Treyarch in developing is set to work out very well for Activision.
