User blog comment:Damac1214/Sledgehammer Interested in Female Leads for Future Call of Duty Titles, Have Already Started Pre-Production for Call of Duty: 2017/@comment-5290320-20150208051034

Female protagonists sounds pretty cool, but would be null if they kept to the silent protagonist route or the hybrid method with Mitchell actually having a character in cutscenes but then becoming a mute in AW (oh, my arm got dismembered from shrapnel in Seoul. 'Tis but a flesh wound.)

And regarding the ideas floating around the SHG campfire, third-person mode isn't that innovative, at least not in Call of Duty. Hell, MW2 had it tucked away in a playlist somewhere without making a big deal out of it. But, if Activision was willing to take a deep breath and actually start taking risks like branching storylines, morally complex characters, social commentary, etc. then i dont think Call of Duty would ever see a bad year for a long time.
