Job listings indicate that Sledgehammer Games' action/adventure Call of Duty game is, in fact, a first-person shooter...
Too many cooks?
The last time we checked, 'action/adventure game' usually meant a third-person experience of sorts but now Sledgehammer Games, seemingly insistent on expanding the already vast scope of this genre, appears to be including first-person shooters within its remit.
Unless you didn't already know, Sledgehammer Games is an Activision-owned studio led by former EA Visceral Games studio heads, Glen Schoefield and Michael Condrey. Earlier this year, Activision announced that the studio was working on an "action/adventure" Call of Duty game. Now, however, it appears that this action/adventure title is an FPS:
"We are actively recruiting top talent for our Call of Duty First Person Shooter development team." reads a series of job ads for the studio over on Gamasutra. One particular ad for a Level Designer lists, "A strong passion for First-Person Shooters," as a must for the position.
That same Level Designer ad also states that the successful applicant will be building, "realistic 3D levels using Radiant level editor". This technology, originally formulated by id and its partners, has been used by Infinity Ward as the backbone of the Call of Duty engine since CoD 2 at least, and further reinforces Sledgehammer's project as an FPS.
So, here's the Call of Duty situation as we currently see it: Treyarch is releasing Call of Duty: Black Ops later this year, while Infinity Ward (or what's left of it) is supposed to be developing Modern Warfare 3. Meanwhile, Sledgehammer is working on an action/adventure FPS (whatever that is) and there may even be a forth developer (Raven Software) working on the CoD franchise.
Too many cooks? Let us know your thoughts in the comments...
Thanks, G4.

That would be genuinely awesome. I love the idea of long-haul space travel in a first-person shooter.
"Ladies and gentleman, this is your Captain speaking. We've just passed by the moon and should be reaching our destination at Alpha Centauri in around about 500 years, asteroid fields permitting."

COULD be very cool, as long a they take a "realistic" take on the future, with bullets and long haul space travel instead of lasers and lightspeed.

@Post 1: So, basically you're looking forward to Sony and EA games then?
I hear what you're saying though. Sledgehammer Games could actually be CoD's last hope in a couple of years. By the time 2012 comes around, will we be so bored by the Infinity Ward and Treyarch formula that a new deveoloper breathing life into the series will be a welcome relief?

It'll be interesting to see what Sledgehammer is planning if the game still intends to be in the action/adventure genre... lots of Tomb Raider block puzzles to push around and locked doors to open?!?!

bored bored bored. modern warfare was a great FPS. world at war was ok for multiplayer, but the single player was abit meh. modern warfare 2 was, well, crap imo. the single player was rubbish in terms of level design, ai, it's length and storyline. it was a 2 year old game (mw1) with new maps and a few new online features. and then they have the cheek to charge over £10 for map packs, where 2/5s of it was from the 2year old game i mentioned before. i think they NEED these new teams to maybe one day breathe life into it again. Black Ops is the last chance COD gets from me haha. much more excited by other games on the way now, such as: Dead Space 2, Killzone 3, Uncharted 3, Gran Tourismo 5, ModNation Racers, Crysis 2, Little Big Planet 2, and more i just can't think of. I think they only people really left playing COD are actually not really old enough to be playing it lol. Sorry, but complete lack of interest here!
