Sledgehammer Games co-founder Glen Schofield has revealed during a presentation (via
Gamespot) at GDC 2014 that the studio's current project, this year's Call of Duty game, will be quite an ambitious project.
He said the game is the "most ambitious, most creative game we've ever made," referring to his development career alongside other Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey. Although the studio is somewhat young, its founders are well known for creating Visceral Games' Dead Space franchise, so that's quite a bold call.
Little information is currently known about this year's Call of Duty, though Activision’s Eric Hirshberg
previously revealed that the title is being primarily targeted at the new generation consoles. Activision has previously described the game as "perhaps the best Call of Duty game ever created," and we can expect more information to come in the next few months.
In related Call of Duty news is the announcement that Call of Duty: Ghosts first DLC, Onslaught, will be free to try on Xbox One and Xbox 360 this weekend. This will unlock the four new maps specific to that DLC, and also allow users to take part in the first Extinction mode episode.

Well, they were never going to say "Mediocre franchise-fodder from the C-team CoD studio" were they?

I got sick of CoD so thought I'd try my luck with Battlefield 4. I've got to say when it works I love it more than CoD but it's just been so so broken that I can't see myself ever bothering with another Battlefield title again. At least (for me anyway) CoD has always "just worked". Seen a couple of Titanfall videos and now that we have Aussie servers I might take a look at that instead. Doesn't really look like my kind of game but what else is there? (don't anyone say Arma)
