PS3, 360, & WiiU versions being developed by Transformers/Deadpool dev High Moonhttp://www.vg247.com/2014/06/09/call...#comments-listCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare is being ported to PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U by Transformers developer High Moon Studios after all, with a confirmation that follows rumours on the matter.
UPDATE:
It came from last week’s edition of MCV in which Sledgehammer co-founder Michael Condrey said of the last-gen editions, “In development, you often constrain ideas–whether it’s design ideas or technology solutions–to the lowest common denominator.
“If you develop for all platforms, often it is the weakest platform that can be the constraint. It is the inverse for us with Advanced Warfare, where we have been designing for the highest resources, the highest-powered console generation. It has allowed us the freedom to think bigger and to go after new technologies.”
ORIGINAL STORY:
Speculation regarding High Moon’s role in the latest Call of Duty was triggered by recent piece of recruiting. In one job ad, the developer advertised for staff to work on “a high-profile, first person shooter for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3″. In another, it mentions the Radiant engine, used widely in Call of Duty games to date.
“High-profile” certainly sounds like Call of Duty, and the lack of next-gen platforms suggests the project is a port rather than a whole new game. No projects have been announced for High Moon Studios since Deadpool, and it has traditionally worked on licensed properties only, further tipping the scales of credibility against the possibility of it producing an entirely new IP.
Further arguments in favour of the Call of Duty 2014 port theory include Sledgehammer’s promotion to lead studio now that the franchise has moved into a three year cycle; previously, Sledgehammer was one of Activision’s regular jobbing studios.
Additionally, High Moon saw substantial lay-offs when Deadpool wrapped, suggesting it may have been scaled down from a full production studio to a jobbing team.
We’ve asked Activision for more information.
We don’t know very much about the new Call of Duty. During Activision’s latest financials, the publisher revealed Sledgehammer had joined Infinity Ward and Treyarch, with each studio producing a new Call of Duty every three years, with Sledgehammer powering Call of Duty 2014.
Sledgehammer job ads suggest Call of Duty 2014 will include advanced weather and destruction effects. One leaker has said Call of Duty 2014 is a new Modern Warfare game.
The next Call of Duty is probably due in November, for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, although we’re not sure about Wii U.

am I understanding correctly that the "brass bullet" is like a camo/paint job? people were flipping out about "preorders getting better gear" and I'm pretty sure that's not the case
Sat out on Ghosts, wanted to sit out of BO 2 but caved. Sat out BO1. Proly going to buy this one just for Spacey.

Shit looks badass. Only question is PC or PS4.
I am disappointed at how terribly Spacey's voice doesnt align with his lips, and this is an American game.
Expect more Advanced Warfare's, this is a franchise nowhttp://www.vg247.com/2014/07/30/adva...-call-of-duty/“It’s next-generation, and it’s 40 years in the future. There is really nothing you can borrow. This game had to be done from scratch,” Sledgehammer Games co-founder Glen Schofield told Venturebeat.
“This is really a brand new franchise within Call of Duty. It’s a new intellectual property.”
To be honest, looking at the most recent video for the game, it does look significantly different to previous games. The addition of all this future tech is clearly going to shake up play in the multiplayer game.
We love Glen, but he’s probably a bit tired from doing all this promotional work.
“We want to make sure that people realize it’s not a turn of the crank,” he added.

Not real sure if I'm a fan of all the jumping around in MP
some highlights from the reveal
Pick 10 from Blops 2 is back, as Pick 13 (streaks count now)
Scorestreaks can be modified, at cost of requiring more points to activate it
Tons of soldier customization, looked like 6+ slots for gear etc
Base weapons are earned through xp progression
Alternate custom variants can be received in Supply Drops (think battlepacks from BF4 and whatever they were in ME3) also the soldier gear
Some streaks have an optional co-op component to them, one shoots and one tags for example
Exo movement is unlimited, boost jump, lateral dodge, air dashing, and a slam from the air
Exo abilities deplete a battery, include a brief cloak, a temp riot shield type thing, hovering in the air briefly, etc
TDM, Dom, CTF, S&D, Hardpoint confirmed, at least two new modes (one is basically Ricochet from Halo 4)
Preorder to get the "Day Zero Edition" (releases Monday I guess, 2x Exp all day)
Looks like level cap is 55ish (guessing), no word on prestiging.
