"Actual in-game characters," the developer claimed.


Sledgehammer's Call of Duty, which will release this fall, has been in development for nearly three years as part of the new development cycle for the series.


The unannounced title will be "next-gen first," according to publisher Activision.

Well, I don't know what I expected when I came in here, but it wasn't a single image of a dude's face, haha.

Considering Sledgehammer's only previous experience was the utter abomination known as MW3, I have a hard time caring about this game. I hope I'm wrong, because I'd rather not have to wait until 2015 to play CoD (the next time Treyarch releases a game).

Its not going to look like that picture.

Oh, it will. Look at the character in the background, all LOD'd to hell. Im guessing this games engine, like all other modern game engines, draws pretty graphics for everything within 2 feet of the camera, and everything beyond that get's LOD'd into a low poly, low resolution disaster.

<3 modern game engines...

I bought MW2, MW3, Black Ops 1, Black Ops 2. I'm pretty much done with the COD. How many times are they going to reuse the exact same crap over and over again. Animations, cut scenes, game engine. All of the same crap except in a different skin. Should of sell them as DLC instead of brand new games.

Treyarch was better than infinity ward since world at war. That was a damn good game and really underrated.

I tried to give WaW a chance...once. I hated it SO MUCH, I'm not sure why. Zombies was OK, but playing a little local multiplayer was annoying as heck. however, they picked it up with Black Ops, and Infinity Ward was dead from that point on.

This franchise is garbage. I have no faith at all. It will lack any physics and have that cheap arcade feel, but with better textures.

Disappointed that Treyarch is not releashing Black Ops 3 till 2015. Given how horrible Ghosts was on the PC, this game will be Dead on Arrival for the PC.

Well, Infinity Ward's got nothing to add to this game. It's supposed to be 100% Sledgehammer, though MW3 was terrible (they assisted IW on it), so I'm iffy on any potentially-good results. But using Ghosts to call this bad isn't the best move, because they're ideally unrelated.

Its not hard to make a high res model. Making it animate well with good performance in engine is the tough bit. Static images really say nothing.

They're probably just going to use the high poly version for cut scenes and use some horrid low poly model for actual gameplay sections.
This was really obvious in Whiny-White-Boy Fantasy 10

It was crap at release, it only took them a year to get it patched up into a decent game.

Played some COD4 online this morning. The game is kind of dated. I wish MW2 had the same PC support COD4 did, as I much prefer the weapons, perks, and maps in that game.

CoD4 was definitely the best of the bunch, all downhill from there.
