Call Of Duty 2012 Will Have A “Meaningful Innovation”

Unsurprisingly Activision has confirmed that there will be a brand new Call of Duty game released later this year, and have declared that the game is looking “fantastic”. Activision also mentioned that the next instalment of the immensely popular Call of Duty will feature “meaningful innovations.” The publisher has yet to announce what platforms that game is appearing on, but hopefully we can expect Wii U, Wii and 3DS versions.

“This year we expect to further expand our presence with the launch of an all-new epic first-person shooter title under the Call of Duty brand. From what we’ve seen to date, the game already looks fantastic and will bring meaningful innovations to the franchise.”

    1. Sickr, I know this is coming to Wii U and 3DS but why report on it, it’s a 3rd party game. It’s not like you have to go around reporting on every third party game coming to a Nintendo console. I recommend only doing it on exclusives, but hey it’s your website.

      1. COD is huge. You can’t deny that. Activision is a major third party dev itself. So it only seems right to report on their stuff right?

      2. COD is fun with friends. Get over it.
        BUT
        I think they really need to stop treating it like is the biggest game ever created. Is just a regular war shooter..

      3. Call of Duty is multiplatform. Activision doesn’t care how week a system is. They will develop for it. See DS and Wii but reason the games appear is because of the install base.

      4. Whether you like it or not Call of Duty is a huge franchise with a lot of fans. It would be wrong of me not to report any news stories involving it.

        Wow, you officially annoy me more than trolls. Why don’t you post you’re real name and unmask who this genius is who fails to create their own blog.

        1. look all of you little faggot ass bitches its his site and he is doing a good job with it he can post what the fuck he wants and since this game is coming to wii its nintendo news if you dont like how things is done then GTFO and make you’re own damn site trying to look for news

          1. lol you people crack me up. Completely ignoring what i said at the end about it being his website and he can post what he wants. You illiterate morons crack me up.

            1. Third party developers need support too. That is why their numbers are dwindling. Third party need to be supported or there will be many games that the gamers won’t see anymore. I play more Third Party games than Nintendo exclusives. It is not because they are better. There are more Third Party games than Nintendo exclusives. I feel Third Party Wii games would have sold better if people knew more about them. Half of them I had to search out cause nobody was talking about them. Everything can’t be all about First Party.

              1. 3rd party Devs are dwindling because of the shit they put out, look at THQ, we demand high profile games, and we get? a stupid tablet :l Activision has killed 2 of its IPs because of the shit they do, Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, and next will be CoD, (i actually think the game is REALLY good, but damn, its only seen very minor changes since CoD4)

      1. Yea, but seriously? It’s the same thing each time. You go around and shoot people. Sales have been declining massively since the warfare 2 one…

        1. The same thing each time? The same can be argued about Pokemon. Nearly every Pokemon game utilizes the same system, why? Because it works. I personally aren’t a fan of Call of Duty games, but I can see that the system Activision has works, why make huge changes to something that doesn’t need it? Improvements, yes. But not game changing alterations.

    1. Yeap dead in my eyes…that’s all. Im done with CoD, I’ve lost interested in it since the crap ass CoD black OP…boring..I liked CoD 2 to MWF 2.

    1. Unless it was made specifically for 3DS, there’s no way it would be a decent game. Activision is terrible with ports and most handheld fps games are terribly made

        1. Jaded_HM (Heath miller)

          Yep, CPP.

          Agreed, every FPS handheld I’ve played has been horrible, and I really tried to like them. (Metroid Hunters was almost OK, I guess I kinda Liked it.)

          3DS and Vita’s duel toggles and improved graphics might finally result in a playable handheld FPS… As I have a 3DS, I’d prefer it on there… And maybe the article boasts innovation as a hint at WiiU featured?! We’ll see.

  1. if its coming out 2012 i doubt it would have ANY inovation. unless they somethin like the….civil war. i can see it now, 2 minutes to reload a bayonet.

    1. come to think of it a civil war game would be pretty interesting. but considering there was no trenches or any thing of that sort, just plain battlefield, it would be a pain in the ass trying to survive a minute.

    2. Lol. Also 1 out of every 4 deaths for the player will be caused by the gun backfiring on them. Yes it really happened in the civil war.

    1. With their map names, I wouldn’t be surprised.
      So this game will have different maps, different guns for whatever reason, and different killstreaks. But looks the same and plays the same.
      If they were to add vehicles or something, it’d only mean they’re trying to outdo Battlefield (although I enjoy Bad Company games much more than even BF 3).

  2. “Meaningful innovation” and “Call of Duty” don’t usually appear in the same sentence. We’ll have to wait and see.

  3. The meaningful innovation is that they’re going to make another big advertising campaign designed to hypnotize the masses into buying the same games over and over again.

  4. Maybe your guns will have feelings now and you’ll need to take care of them. CoD meets nintendogs… Then the fanboys will say Nintendo copied their idea and that they were making the game way before they thought of nintendogs. -_-

  5. Don’t mean to get anyone mad but I thought this place would be full of call of duty fans. “innovation” lol thanks for the laugh activision the only good FPS is metroid prime. only because it had awesome exploration and epic boss fights. Seriously one boss made me stop playing it for a year cause I couldn’t figure it’s weakness.

    1. I like Metroid Prime as well, but it’s not the only good FPS (technically a first person adventure according to Nintendo), Resistance on the was also a good FPS imo.

      1. i love me some bioshock 2,fucking awsome game,i want that on wii u so i can change my powers and weapons on touch screen…..ohh yeah

  6. who doesn’t love a good generic shooter. if the call of duty series didn’t give me motion sickness I’d probably be a fan.

    1. Jaded_HM (Heath miller)

      I thought I was the only one!!!

      I can play CoD for a while, but Halo makes me hurl, for real. (motion sickness).

  7. To me call of duty fans seem a bunch of narrow minded people who troll. And this site has a lot of trolls. And thanks for the correction first person adventure fits it better. It was first person and you used an arm canon most of the time so I thought it was a FPS.

  8. Call of duty is cool but do they really need to make a new one this year? not that theres anything wrong with that they just made MW3 and people are probably still buying it and if you is a COD fan you wont miss it if they skip this year

    1. Call of duty is about war so it has to play like war Metroid is about………uh…. evil things so its gameplay can have all this crazy shit in it

  9. Meaningful innovations? Hmm…….I wonder what that means….

    Well, if it’s treyarch making it…..well, maybe it could happen…..maybe…..I’ll go ahead and believe it for now…..But I won’t get my hopes up….

  10. CALL OF DUTY IS THE WORST SERIES EVER CREATED! YET IDIOTS GO OUT EVERY YEAR AND BUY THE “NEW” VERSION. YOU NARROW-MINDED CALL OF DUTY PLAYERS ARE RUINING THE INDUSTRY WORSE THAN THAT IPAD CRAP! I HOPE ALL YOU DUMBSHITS ARE STILL ENJOYING MODERN WARFARE 1.000003! SERIOUSLY, GO BUY SKYWARD SWORD OR PORTAL 2 OR SKYRIM WITH THAT MONEY YOU WASTE ON COD! HOLY ASS! IF ALL THE MONEY WASTED ON CALL OF DUTY WAS DONATED TO CHARITY THE WORLD WOULD BE A WAY BETTER PLACE.

    CALL OF DUTY FANS DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT MAKES A GOOD GAME. I BET IF YOU ASKED THE AVERAGE CASLL OF DUTY FAN WHAT HE/SHE LIKES ABOUT CALL OF DUTY THEY WOULD SAY, “DUH. GRAPHICS GOOD. MULTIPLAYER GOOD! THATS ALL THAT MATTERS!”. YOU IDIOTS DON.T CARE ABOUT INNOVATIVE GAMEPLAY OR ART DIRECTION OR STORY, ALL YOU THINK ABOUT IS KILLING.

    CALL OF DUTY OF DUTY FANS NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND PLAY SOME BETTER GAMES. EVEN GTA OR SAINT’S ROW ARE BETTER THAN THAT CALL OF DUTY TRASH.

    IF YOU KIDS HONESTLY THINK PLAYING CALL OF DUTY MAKES YOU “HARDCORE”, YOU ARE DUMB AS A BRICK. TO ME, CALL OF DUTY IS JUST AS CASUAL AS SHOVEL-WARE LIK,E JUST DANCE OT ANGRY BIRDS. I MEAN LOOK AT ALL THE DUMB 8-12 YEAR OLD BRATS WHO BEG THEIR PARENTS TO GET THEM THE GAME FOR CHRISTMAS! YEAH THERE REALLY “HARDCORE”!

    SO YEAH, GO SMASH THE CALLL OF DUTY SERIES INTO OBLIVION! IT SHOULD BE BAN FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH. I DON’T MIND VIOLENCE IN GAMES, BUT CALL OF DUTY BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE. SO VIOLENT, SO EVIL!

    GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE YOU DUMB FAGS IF I SEE ANOTHER ONE OF YOU PLAYING CALL OF DUTY I’LL TAKE YOU TO A VIDEO GAME EDUCATION PROGRAM, WHERE YOU’LL LEARN WHAT REALLY MAKES A GAME GOOD.

    THE ANCIENT HERO OUT!!!

    1. STFU U FAGGOT MOTHERFUCKER US CASUAL SAVE THE TRASH CACA SHOVELWARE UGLY NO HD PIXALATED CRAP CALL WII. THX 2 US CASUAL NINTY STILL AROUND-FACT SO KISS MY ASS AWWW U MAD COD KILLING UR POKEMON RUMBLE SHIT. FUCK U ITS PPL. LIKE U I BUY COD JUST 2 STICK IT IN UR ASS BITCH YEAH U LIKE THIS GREASY DICK IN UR ASS THAN SUCK MY DICK AND RUB MY NIPPLES U MARIO PARTY 65 FAGGOT OUR GENERATION DONT LIKE THAN DIE OLD FAGGOT YA TIMES OVER OLD SHIT

  11. I agree with you acient hero but the caps were un called for. I think call of duty fans are as casual as they come. Sad that it’s sold as much as it has.

    1. Dude, Pokemon is way better than CoD. First of all, their is at least SOME innovation and creativity. Pokemon games also don,t come out every single, damn year!

    2. Pokemon at least adds 152 new Pokemon in each edition. CoD just throws and expansion pack as a new game and people still buy it. Not to say that Pokemon is not 6 hour game.

  12. Jaded_HM (Heath miller)

    CoD needs to soak up and use much of the WiiU’s functions and features to seem “fresh.” more maps and guns should be sold cheaper as DLC instead of ripping people off every new addition.

  13. The innovation will be that you can build buildings and change the battlefield during the game in other ways. If not I will not even look at that game…

  14. zant's faithful servant

    Meaningful innovations? just like every other CoD game didn’t have? i’m completely stupefied. i must go meditate on this. 3 years from now i may have come to terms with such shocking news enough to uncross my legs.
