Quick Quotes: Bowling on the various studios working on CoD franchise

20110519callofduty

“We’re at a state now in the Call of Duty franchise, where you have several teams working on CoD that have their own very distinct styles on what type of gameplay they deliver. And I think that’s a great thing for Call of Duty in general, especially if you’re having games come out every year. To have very distinct flavors and to have very distinct styles, it allows us to innovate in different ways and not feel forced to innovate in the same ways and build on the same interactions in the other games.” – Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling on having various studios working on the Call of Duty series.

Zombies and Nazis? In Modern Warfare 2? Over Infinity Ward’s dead body

Heck, the only way they’d be more out of place is if the game took place in modern times!
