MODERN WARFARE 3 NEWS: Developing Studios Update

Is this 4-realz?  They couldn't decide which studio should do Modern Warfare 3, so they instead decided that everyone should make the game?  I don't see this working out too well.  The game studios will get into disagreements with each other during the game design and production, and the game will suffer from lack of cooperation. You know how the saying goes: "There are too many cooks in the kitchen."

Modern Warfare 3 being produced by 3 studios, an expert claims

Wednesday, 26 January 2011 16:28

Activision's Modern Warfare 3 title is being produced by three different studios, it has been claimed.

The blockbuster publisher has sought the assistance of Sledgehammer Games, Raven Software and the franchise's creator Infinity Ward, with Sledgehammer delaying one of its own projects to work on the title, according to Develop.

Raven Software has also postponed one of its own titles in order to apply time to Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer mode. It is uncertain whether the title will be released in time for this Christmas, but an announcement is expected this year.

This news comes after the Dutch infograph company Spijkermat revealed that players of Call of Duty: Black Ops kill an accumulated total of 323 million online opponents every day.

The figure exceeds the entire population of America, with 28 million virtual foes being killed by a headshot and 2 million stabbed in the spine.
