John-ShepardPsst…hey. Get this. Big surprise announcement…no way you were anticipating it. Might be the surprise of the generation…
Believe it or not, Activision Blizzard issued a solid earnings report and then confirmed that another Call of Duty FPS will launch in 2011. Activision Publishing Eric Hirshberg first made the astonishing statement- "We will launch a new first-person action title during the back half of 2011" and then, as if it needed further explanation, COO Thomas Tippl added, "next year's Call of Duty will be a first-person shooter." They didn't offer any details but most are expecting Modern Warfare 3 , which has been rumored to be in development at a freshly-staffed Infinity Ward. We also know about another CoD project that is currently in the works at Sledgehammer Games; at first, it was labeled as an "action/adventure" game but recent job listings have sort of clarified that it'll be a FPS as well. Now, we know you're probably in shock upon hearing this news but if you really think about it, it didn't come totally out of the blue. I mean, billions of dollars is sort of…a lot of money. So yeah, maybe we should've seen this coming.
…anyway. If we give out an award for most predictable news story during our end-of-year awards, we've got the guaranteed winner right here.
Just to let you guys know: I'm going to be standing in line at midnight with the sheeple waiting for Black Ops…but I'm going to surprise them by picking up a much better game coming out that same day. The Sly Cooper Collection.
You legend!
Lol you should like run outta there and be yelling i got SLY COOPER!! Hell ya! Cod nerds everywhere will envy you lol

That's why I don't pay full price for COD games.

And this is why I NEVER pay full price for anti-vision games
You know what will be awesome is remastering COD: UO in HD and bringing it to the PS3.
i will look to purchase Black OP's when i can find it cheap enough pre-owned so i can ensure that Activision do get a penney off me and hopefully it will drive them to push the franchise to a MMO which hopefully will mean many sheeple out there will realise the error of thier ways and open there eyes to other fantastic games.
On a serious note though COD sucess is great for Activision but bad for the industry. If gamers continue to support Koticks vision then in 10-20 years will developers still create new IP's ? i'm just not sure
Why do you have to go and through an article like this up and get all the haters in an uproar?
