Call Of Duty 9: 'I Hope Treyarch Learns From MW3' - Bowling

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 creative strategist Rob Bowling hopes that Treyarch learns from the Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer Games shooter as it develops the next Call of Duty game.

Call of Duty 9 has yet to be announced, but is strongly believed to be in development at Treyarch for release in late 2012 - and is rumoured to be a sequel to 2010's Call of Duty: Black Ops.

"I think every year, we have that challenge of looking at what the previous Call of Duty has done, and trying to learn from that and better our own game because of it," Bowling told NowGamer when asked about the relationship between Infinity Ward and Treyarch's Call of Duty games.

"We do the same thing with Treyarch games, and I hope that they do the same thing with our games."

Asked where he'd like to see the Call of Duty series go next, Bowling said: "We don’t know yet. Right now, we’re having a lot of those discussions, but mainly our focus is still on Modern Warfare 3, because we have a lot of content on the way. We’re doing at least 20 pieces of Modern Warfare 3. So between hot fixes, patches, updates and all of that, our focus is very much still Modern Warfare 3."
