Treyarch Hiring for Next Call of Duty

The inevitability of Treyarch working on a new entry to the Call of Duty franchise once again rears its metaphorical head, as the Black Ops studio seeks a number of new staff to fill design and multiplayer positions.

Posted on Treyarch's website, one of the advertisements asks for staff who will work directly underneath "the design director for the Call of Duty multiplayer team at Treyarch." A gameplay combat designer, lead lighting artist, scripter and environmental art lead are listed as potential careers at the company.

The gameplay combat designer in particular "will design, develop, and tune game mechanics and features, largely in the area of combat systems (such as weapons and attachments) and gameplay mechanics (such as Perks and spawning)."

Sounds like the Call of Duty cycle isn't dead then. Kind of undead. Like a zombie. Zombie mode. We'll stop writing so you can keep your day sane.

Elsewhere, Modern Warfare 3 is rumoured to be in for an April reveal.
