Official PlayStation Magazine<\/a> that their competitors, aka Treyarch and Infinity Ward, are “getting lazy”. <\/p>\n“They’re using the same engine, the same recipe for building a game. At some point you need to take that leap. I haven’t seen them take that leap since a long time ago.”<\/p>\n
“We are doing that now,” he insisted. “They had better watch out. We are coming for them.”<\/p>\n
“Our competitors keep building very, very high tempo games,” he added. “We want to tell a story with more drama curves. It’s not about pumping round after round for six hours.”<\/p>\n
Many gamers would tend to agree that CoD has been on steady downward slump since it peaked with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Troedsson has a point, and leaps in terms of narrative, gameplay and even technology have been few and far between in this space over the past few years.<\/p>\n
We are keeping a very close eye on Battlefield 3, and if early impressions are anything to go buy, the game looks set to blow everything else out of the water. In Treyarch\/Infinity Ward’s defence, it is difficult to raise the bar when you are working on a tight development cycle of two years per sequel. Battlefield 3, in contrast, has been in development for years. <\/p>\n
