Sledgehammer games is hiring, work on Call of Duty photo

Are you one of those people who has serious doubts about Call of Duty being any good now that Infinity Ward has exploded and developers like Sledgehammer games are jumping into the franchise? Well, don't just bitch about it! Do something! Like get a job at Sledgehammer games and then ensure that their next game is the best Call of Duty EVAR! The developer is being pretty aggressive about hiring as we've seen paid ads popping up on the web recruiting people.

There are plenty of perks for working with a developer like Sledgehammer such as a company sponsored gym pass and onsite building fitness facilities, a kitchen stocked every week with drinks and snacks, a state of the art studio, an extensive health and dental package and a 401k matching plan. I know the gym and food sound awesome, but my old ass would be more excited for the health, dental and 401k.

So what is the down side? It starts with "You're working for" and ends with "Activision."

I can think of worse fates in the video game community...like getting thrown in a time machine and going back to help Romero work on Daikatana.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Activision... I'll tell you when I get

Sorry but difference of opinion, even if does come off trollingly, isn't a banable offense.

How can you not? The developers work for years to create great games, only to have Activision fuck them over because they don't give a shit how hard they worked. You think it's only Infinity Ward that have suffered?

You cannot like Activision and game developers at the same time, that's like being a short tall guy.

I did work for Activision and I enjoyed it. The people I worked with were cool and It was the best job I had...alas I was let go but at least they hired me. EA didn't and that is one basis for my personal dislike of them but whatever they're all just companies and well one wanted me while the other didn't.

To the haters, Activision isn't bad people, the CEO is so don't go taking it out on all the others who actually do work in there. Seeing your name in the credits even for something like testing made me smile. I felt I made a difference and it's a small step towards my dream.

that said I'm going to apply!
