'Call of Duty 7' revealed by Treyarch animator profile

by David Hinkle { May 13th 2009 at 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?

knightsray @ May 13th 2009 2:46PM

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

Paul Z @ May 13th 2009 11:46AM

At least each game has a 2 year production time.

JXCgunrunna @ May 13th 2009 12:30PM

So did W@W.

tmacairjordan87 @ May 13th 2009 11:46AM

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.

Opprobrius Maximus @ May 13th 2009 4:59PM

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

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

Ignatius @ May 13th 2009 12:46PM

Don't forget Final Fantasy CDXLV

Chris_Mac @ May 13th 2009 12:57PM

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

Reboot @ May 13th 2009 1:01PM

@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 ;)

Trulz @ May 13th 2009 11:52AM

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.

Matt @ May 13th 2009 12:05PM

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.

tenor77 @ May 13th 2009 12:52PM

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

Only Treyarch could make a tank level that bad.

Troy Powers (PSN: TroyPowers) @ May 13th 2009 1:01PM

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.

The Baron @ May 13th 2009 1:43PM

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

Anticrawl @ May 13th 2009 2:16PM

@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.

JXCgunrunna @ May 13th 2009 4:43PM

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

LegendaryRedass @ May 13th 2009 11:52AM

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.

uncle jesse @ May 13th 2009 11:57AM

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.

LegendaryRedass @ May 13th 2009 7:34PM

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.

TeDwArD @ May 13th 2009 11:55AM

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

max stubbs @ May 13th 2009 11:59AM

Who said it was WWII? No-one.

TeDwArD @ May 13th 2009 12:00PM

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

max stubbs @ May 13th 2009 12:12PM

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

The Dark Wayne @ May 13th 2009 2:19PM

if that search for captain price thing is actually the title, Captain Price from CoD 4 would be too young for Nam, and Captain Price from WWII would be too old for nam, unless, idk he's like a fucking general or something, but i dont recall the brits having a huge involvement in nam
