Sledgehammer Seeks Call of Duty Level Dev Manager
Studio expects scores of above 95%.
Sledgehammer Games has posted job listings for three positions at the studio, as the deadline for its first Call of Duty game draws near.
Activision formally revealed that the San Francisco-based team was working on the next iteration of its blockbuster FPS franchise back in March last year. But with the studio seeking a temporary Development Manager, Community Manager and temporary User Testing Co-ordinator, it would seem that crunch time is upon them.
"Sledgehammer Games is actively recruiting top industry talent to join the Call of Duty FPS development team," the postings read. The temporary manager's role will be to oversee level development specifically, offering "support from concept to release." The Community Manager role aims to mirror the success seen between Infinity Ward's relationship with Modern Warfare fans.
The User Testing Coordinator has the stressful "responsibility for ensuring Sledgehammer Games delivers a 95+ rated Call of Duty game meeting the high expectations of gamers today." No pressure, then. On the flip-side, the listing states that this role is great for an entry-level jump into video games development.
Besides Activision's acknowledgement of Sledgehammer's existence in 2010, nothing has been said of the upcoming Call of Duty title, expected to release later this year. No doubt E3 will be one of the events used to spill all the beans. We'll keep you posted.

I found on this website http://callofdutyghost.com/source-confirms-developers-for-call-of-duty-ghost-modern-warfare-3-30 that a source confirmed Sledgehammer Games were developing Call of Duty Ghost game and Activision would be working on Modern Warfare 3. I am looking more forward to MW3, and hopefully it does come out this year and they can do COD Ghost in 2012.
