Source: A Gamasutra column by Chris Morris.
What we heard: Back in May, Activision registered a series of domain names that pointed to a sci-fi spin-off of the Call of Duty series. They included callofdutyfuturewarfare.com, advancedwarfare.com, spacewarfare2.com, and several other URLs that pointed toward a Battlefield 2142-style future-war spin-off of the series.
Two months prior, Activision announced that newly founded studio Sledgehammer Games would be "extending the series into the action-adventure genre." Though many assumed that the nascent studio was working on a third-person spin-off of the first-person shooter series, a job listing confirmed that the studio was indeed working on an FPS.
Is the Call of Duty series boldly going where many shooters have gone before?
Now comes word that Sledgehammer's "action-adventure" Call of Duty game may catapult the series into the future. In a column today, Gamasutra's Chris Morris said that the sci-fi Call of Duty and Sledgehammer's installment in the series are one and the same.
"Industry sources say Sledgehammer's Call of Duty will be set in the future and feature, for lack of a better term, space marines, a very big step for a franchise that has historically based itself on realism," he said.
The official story: Activision reps had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.
Bogus or not bogus?: Probably not bogus. Morris is a veteran game journalist with myriad contacts in the industry. Also, with Modern Warfare 2 abandoning realism in terms of storyline--with Russia mounting a full-on invasion of the US--the series' contemporary setting may be the next thing to fall by the wayside. And hey, Black Ops' SR-71 Blackbird level (pictured) is near-space, isn't it?

Technically the next one is Modern Warfare 3 unless Respawn studios pulls so quick legal action and get's their game back.
I wouldn't doubt the future warfare idea though - it is the only setting they haven't done that doesn't involve muskets. But Treyarch might do cold war again since they sorta built their own little world there.

Seems predictable to me. They're going with the past, present, future concept. They've done WW1/WW2, they've done MW1/MW2, so the only logical next step is CoD:Future Warfare.

I dont have a problem with it being in space.
But arent there usually either aliens or android enemys involved in space shooters?
How would that work out in multiplayer`?

Hey guies, hey guiiise! I has idea: WWII IN SPACE
You know you're all thinking it.
But no, really... so long as it's not another WWII game, I'll look at it. Though I can't see space of all places being that great of a choice for the style that is CoD

i think it'd be better if in CoD: Future Warfare (if that's what we are calling it now) we get away from the usual America Vs. Evil theme. Lets throw a little spice into next game, like mix the things around a bit make yourself a mercenary trying to uncover some American conspiracy or something to that extent.

I'm eager to see how this one turns out. I've been waiting a long time for a Call of Duty-style FPS set in space. No aliens, just people fighting other people in non-Earth environments with futuristic weapons.

Sounds stupid. Call of Duty only got famous because of its 'realistic' gameplay. Being in space and FPS? So... it's like Halo + COD? Sounds pretty weird. :S

Halo + COD? Sounds FUCKIN AWESOME AS FUCK.No. It's like trying to mix Ramen and chocolate. Separately they're fucking awesome, but together, it probably tastes like diarrhea.

How come? COD always lacks a decent story, which Halo obviously has. COD has (somewhat)better gameplay than Halo. It's like getting the best of both worlds imo.

Did you not play Black Ops Campaign?
Also, if they want a decent storyline and better graphics, why not make a game like this?
