Development
At first it was planned to be a game in the action/adventure genre and would've been the first third-person only Call of Duty game. In September 2010, Activision realized the community wanted another Modern Warfare game, or another game developed by Infinity Ward. In January 2011, it was confirmed the action-adventure game would be cancelled, or simply put on hold, and instead Sledgehammer Games helped Infinity Ward with Modern Warfare 3. Glen Schofield referred to the game as "most likely cancelled" when interviewed in October 2011.

However in Summer 2013 Sledgehammer confirmed that they were hiring for an unannounced Call of Duty project and a Sledgehammer employee stated that he’s responsible for “developing photo real visual effects for the next Call of Duty – Modern Warfare release.”

In January 2014, a job listing for a Weapons & Vehicle Artist stated that the "candidate must have experience using Adobe Photoshop to create hyper realistic textures for next gen materials." and that Sledgehammer are "looking for a top notch hard surfaces modeler to join [their] AAA family working on the next Call of Duty game." On February 6th 2014, Sledgehammer Games and Activision confirmed that they would be developing the 2014 release of Call of Duty series.

On May 1st, 2014 Activision released a series of teasers and minor details about Call of Duty 2014, calling it a New Era for Call of Duty, and setting sunday May 4th as the world premiere. Later that night, Destructoid.com leaked a low quality version of the reveal trailer along with several .gifs of said trailer, as a result, Activision decided to release the trailer to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare early.
