Nowadays, people think that Call of Duty – This, well, when the past parts are simply passed through a meat grinder and it turns out another. They do not understand how much work goes to create a franchise game, although we conduct a lot of research.
We worked with experts – I https://www.trsports.co.uk/ studied the Second World War for three years. I worked with historians. I spent eight days in a van in Europe, visiting all the places that were supposed to be in the game. Shot from different old weapons. All this is necessary when you are working on Call of Duty.
As he says Scofield, This applies Advanced Warfare, whose events unfold in the world of a near future. During its development, the studio consulted with the "sea cats" and the operatives "Delta", and also studied the special forces of England, France, Spain and Italy.
Besides, Scofield spoke about the competition between the studios working on Call of Duty, – Sledgehammer, Infinity Ward And Treyarch. There was a rivalry, but did not do without mutual help:
Was there any internal competition? No doubt. This is strange, because we still hurt for every studio, because we wanted every Call of Duty succeeded. But there was always a desire to get a higher rating and sale than colleagues. So yes, we competed.
But at the same time, we also helped each other-for example, in between the projects we did something for Black Ops. Any level or several objects on it-vehicles and the like. We were a kind of brotherhood Call of Duty. Quiet rivalry took place, but we helped with the development of every next game as we could.
Recall new Call of Duty It will come out in the fall – it will pour over it just Sledgehammer. According to rumors, the game will tell about the alternatives of the 1950s, where the Second World War continues.
