They aren&#8217;t hardcore gamers, or even gamers, but they play Call of Duty every night,\u201d said Infinity Ward executive producer Mark Rubin. \u201cAnd those guys are going to continue to play regardless of platform. So I think not only will we continue to engage with that existing player base, but we&#8217;ll take next gen and see how far we can go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With regards to evolving the series for the future, Rubin likened the series to a sport, saying that the team \u201ccan&#8217;t change too many of the core rules&#8221;\u00a0because it will alienate the audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is the obvious truth that if this were football, and next year they decided we only want seven players a side and you can use your hands, I don&#8217;t think people would want to go to many of those games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58499\" alt=\"Call of duty Ghosts\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Call-of-duty-Ghosts.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Call-of-duty-Ghosts.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Call-of-duty-Ghosts-267x150.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can play a lot with the outside of how that works, and it&#8217;s things like character customisation, making the movement through that world better, making the world itself more interesting, adding the new modes, adding the new dynamic maps,&#8221; added Rubin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any time we ship a game &#8211; and this a non-Call of Duty statement, this is [applicable to] any dev you&#8217;ve ever talked to &#8211; there&#8217;s always a ton of features they wish they could have gotten to, before they shipped. So I think we&#8217;ll always be able to bring new and interesting stuff.
