Here's a rumor for you that could well be bollocks, but is something to mull over on a Saturday morning regardless. An Infinity Ward insider is reported to have said that the Call of Duty developer is currently working on a science fiction title that could be announced soon.
"We are currently working on a new sci-fi title, we cannot release any more information as of yet, we may or may not announce it at E3," stated the mysterious bean spiller.
Of course, if this is true, there's no indication that it would be part of the Call of Duty series, but that franchise is Infinity Ward's bread and butter. Would a Call of Duty: In Space This Time work for you guys, or would a brand new IP be more IPealing?

Fingers-crossed.
what were we talking about?
IW has proven they've got the potential to create an insanely immersive game-experience and I'd love to play in a scifi-setting like that!
Note to developers: We're burned out on these.
Wow my first post after lurking forever, and I make myself look like an r-tard. Go me!
Really though, I'd love to see a little twist like this in cod5 starts out WW2 and then BAM sci-fi...though it would never be a secret until launch so what a waste.
I'd like a Starship Troopers-style or Aliens-style shooter.
also, I have played about 500 space marines versus aliens type games, and I usually enjoy them, so sure I'd be interested.
Guns, whether a Thompson, an M16 or a gauss rifle firing depleted uranium slugs....its all the same.
fun
Going forward and creating something new would be cool. While I too do not want another trip into WWII, I have to admit, after seeing the video of it, and hearing what they are trying to do with the game, I guess I'll still end up buying it.
It looks like CoD WaW will do for WWII games, what CoD4 did for modern war themed fps games.
Again, maybe it won't be a COD game. That would make me very happy, because I think that in order for Infinity Ward to survive, they're going to have to do a little bit more than COD, over and over again. It would be nice to end COD after one more game, give the title to treyarch permanently, and then bunker down and do something else. I think Infinity Ward can impress, if it explores new territory.
