Activision to "broaden" Call of Duty's audience.

Thomas Tippl, Activision's CEO and CFO says, "Today, we have three studios working on Call of Duty. We have Infinity Ward, which made Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Then we have Treyarch, which will be releasing a Call of Duty game in the fall of 2010. Treyarch also developed Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty 3. And, most recently, we've added Sledgehammer in the Bay Area. We haven't yet announced the content of their game, but it's going to be an innovative take that will further broaden the audience for Call of Duty."

The history of the Call of Duty franchise proves that Infinity Ward is really the only team that can get the formula right. Treyarch even borrowed heavily from Call of Duty 4's recipe when they made World at War, but unfortunately that game is better known for being able to shoot Nazi Zombies than it was for multiplayer. The creation of Sledgehammer (former Dead Space leads Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey) leads me to believe a "third person action" Call of Duty is in the works. Ugh.
