It’s not crippling, but the thing that worries me most is people going: ‘Look, there’s the guy who brought down Call of Duty!’ That scares the crap out of me.” – Sledgehammer co-founder and former Visceral head Glen Schofield to Edge (via CVG).

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.
