User blog comment:Cpt. Riley/Infinity Ward Co-Developing MW3 w/ Sledgehammer/@comment-71.61.243.162-20110123064147

Boy, do I sure hope this game doesn't turn into a disjointed mess, what with three different developers working on it, and all. Oh, excuse me, two developers and the reanimated corpse of another studio.

Nearly every person that made Infinity Ward what it was, good or bad, is gone. The last two games Raven made were mediocre or average shooters; nothing particularly extraordinary (though I did enjoy Wolfenstein). I have faith in Sledgehammer, but I think they'd be better off working on their own game, rather than propping up the lifeless body of Infinity Ward.

This is the kind of shit that happens when the publisher thinks they absolutely, positively must get a game out every single year.

I'll wait until I see more on this game to pass judgment, but let's just say I'm not getting my hopes up too high.
