Sledgehammer Games ville ikke bare lave endnu et Call of Duty. I stedet valgte de at se på Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare som noget helt nyt, fortæller et af studiets grundlæggere, Glen Schofield, til Gameinformer.
"We approached this like we would any new IP. I mean, this has been one heck of a creative challenge. I mean, everything is brand new in the game," siger Schofield, der også pointerer at spillet vil indeholde store forandringer i grundmekanikkerne, der vil påvirke alle spiltyper, inklusiv multiplayer.
Advanced Warfare byder også på Exoskeletter, superstyrke og mulighed for at svæve, men senior development director Aaron Halon siger, at man ikke behøver bekymrer sig for, at det bliver for radikal en ændring i forhold til tidligere spil i serien:
"Don't worry about it. I mean, look, again, we're fans. We're really scrutinizing what we're doing ourselves and can't wait to show the stuff off."
