'Call of Duty 7' revealed by Treyarch animator profile

by David Hinkle on May 13th 2009 11:40AM

Duty is a hell of a thing. It's always calling you to it, and it would appear that Activision is already in production of the Treyarch follow-up to Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2, as is the company's pattern. And that's where David Kim's LinkedIn profile comes into play (check out his personal site here), which mentions that he's currently working as senior animator on Call of Duty 7.

With Modern Warfare 2 expected to deploy this holiday season, though, we likely won't hear anything substantial on this new Call of Duty for some time. But, considering how Activision likes to pump out the sequels to its key franchises, it's probably a safe bet to expect Call of Duty 7 sometime in 2010. We actually knew that before this listing popped up.

Should it be: Modern Warfare 2, Part 2?

no...some people are saying it might be in Vietnam. I really don't know how that would be cause it'd still be close to modern warfare with a few of the same guns i think.

Treyarch should just make a zombie game based off WaW zombie mode. that'd be the great...they could make the campaign a lil l4d-ish but with perks an multiple guns an all that but the same type of running through locales like trying to get back to america or some crap lol btw..i thought WaW was a good game..all around

At least each game has a 2 year production time.

So did W@W.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we're shocked by this revelation. We truly did not see this coming at all.

At least that cancerous company named Treyarch isn't developing it - OH WAIT.

20 years down the line:

Call of duty 25
&
Modern warfare 18

Featured on the
PS5
&
Xbox 9000

damn, I'll still be waiting for the ps9

personally, i can't wait for "Call of Guitar Hero: THE MOVIE" Starring Tony Hawk and Weena Mercator as "The Hopping Woman"

Don't forget Final Fantasy CDXLV

I think they'll call it the Xbox 9001 for instant free meme advertising

@Ignatius: "Don't forget Final Fantasy CDXLV"

That would require Square-Enix to have a production schedule they actually stick to, instead of bumping out their games by years at a time. In twenty years, we'll be lucky to be up to Final Fantasy XV at this point ;)

Wait...Treyarch follow up as in they're making Modern Warfare 3, or just the next ACTUAL COD? Cause I thought they were different now.

No, I'm sure that's one of the reasons for the Call of Duty drop from the IW developed games. I'm sure Treyarch will continue with the Call of Duty franchise while Infinity Ward continues with the Modern Warfare franchise. I think this a good move by Activision to better separate the developers and the franchises.

Yes it is a smart move because Treyarch was smearing IW's good name.

Only Treyarch could make a tank level that bad.

So confusing. Are they going back to the numbered titles? The last one to be numbered was CoD4:MW. So, if the next one is 7, that must make W@W 5, and MW2 6. Makes sense, but it's still confusing. Hopefully this is just a working title until they decide officially on Call of Duty: Die, Nazi Scum.

On the other hand, the gameplay of the two 'franchises' and core concepts are likely going to remain the same.

@tenor77

Aww you poor sheep, quit bahhing so loud and just keep following the rest of the herd.

Treyarch is a first rate developer, anyone who can pump out a new game in 6 months that is of the same quality as the other developer doing the exact same thing who takes 3 and a half years is truly a great developer. I'd like to see you work on the level Treyarch is forced too only to be mocked and overshadowed by the lazy self absorbed IW.

Anticrawl

W@W had a two year development period, same as CoD4. so unless you are trying to compare CoD3 to CoD2, you are wrong.

The only CoD I've played is 4. I think it's better than halo 3. But MW2 I pushing it for me. Do we really need 7? So much for ingenuity.

The only one you've played was CoD4 and you thought it was better than Halo 3. But you don't want to play a sequal to the game that you liked and thought was better than one of the top games on the 360 because you think it's 'pushing it'?

I don't understand you.

No you didn't understand me, I very much want MW2. I'm very happy about it, in fact. But how many iterations of WWII games can there be? Or is Treyarch just going to cheese off of more of Infinity Wards hard work? I've played limited amounts of 2 and 5. 2 was good, 5 didn't appeal to me. It just seems like Treyarch is sucking the life out of the series. I just don't want to get bored with CoD. I didn't mean to contradict myself earlier. I just meant that I'll only stick with the MW series, and more WWII games is just reaching. Even if it isn't WWII, then Treyarchs going to kill MW. It is about Price, afterall.

come on how long are they going to continue milking this dry cow? WW2 is finished no1 needs to have every single bit ironed out of the story. MW 2 FTW nuff said.

@Orex probably thats how its going to end. for the game, in malta every maltese plays this game apart from pro evolution soccer and tekken so treyarch and activision will still get money from us

Who said it was WWII? No-one.

treyarch have always released WW2, even after COD4 so thats what it is gna be most probably

Said a while ago they were gonna leave the WWII setting.

Call of Duty 2011
Call of Duty 2012

"Call of Duty 2012"- Survive the Mayan Apocalypse!

Call of Duty 9: The Legend of Curly's Gold

"Call of Duty 27: Screw It, Let's Bomb Poland."

what about australia? WTF M8 (taken from the flash video end of the world)

nom nom nom

Wow? I'm so surprised.....But at least they are moving on to Vietnam......More modern weapons and new environments!

M16 jams ftl

I can't wait for the "dig your foxhole" and "sit in your foxhole all night in the darkness while guns go off all around you and you try not to go batshit insane" minigames.

good grief...

Those guys are funking relentless, they just don't learn from their mistakes... like lemmings!

I think they need to release a game very 2 years not every year....its overkill...hell CoD4 still has a STRONG online community and they are talking about the next one??

I know, the system is getting redundant.

Well I guess it could be worse, like with Guitar hero, pumping out 6+ games per year....

What the fuck!

If this is a joke, it ain't fucking hilarious!

And what the hell is a "follow up" to MW2? Are they going to ruin Modern Warfare now?

W@W is actually very good. I don't know why people still insist on bashing TreyArch.

That logo doesn't have enough room for seven stars! Where's plan b??

If MW2 isn't a CoD, wouldn't that make this CoD6? Does Treyarch know how to count?

Everyone knows that MW2 is the 6th game in the COD franchise whether it puts the number in the title or not. Stop being an idiot.

by that logic, GTAIV isn't really GTAIV, is it?

Hmmm, I guess I thought that people understood the difference between an internal title and an official title. My mistake.

Hold on,
If IW are making Modern Warfare 2 (without the COD name),
then shouldn't this be COD 6?
I thought there was a big problem with calling COD: WAW number 5 due to all of the spin-offs and other platform specific games.

Am I the only one that hopes it would actually be "The Search for Captain Price"

I mean, if they're gonna do it, it might as well be about one of the best supporting characters since luigi.

Yeah, this is not a surprise at all. I think we can all pretty much expect the following:

Call of Duty 7: November 9, 2010
Modern Warfare 3: November 8, 2011
Call of Duty 8: November 13, 2012
etc..

The people that hate on Treyarch should be happy about this. This is one of the reasons the "Call of Duty" name was dropped. Activision wanted to better separate the developers and the franchises. I feel confident in assuming that IW will pretty much handle the modern stuff while Treyarch will continue with WWII and hopefully other historical conflicts.
