Design Director Cliff Bleszinski has confirmed that it will be "something new", and not new entries in the Gears of War or Infinity Blade franchises. In a statement from Bleszinski's official IGN member page, Cliffy stated "The only information i will give now it will be a fps and it wont be like cod of duty ok. Because I know how to make games very EPIC!!." Well said, Cliffy B. "Just cutting down this tree lol. EPIC" As it turns out, Epic's next game won't be like Call of Duty, it IS Call of Duty. According to Bleszinski himself, the next entry in the long running military franchise will be titled Call of Duty: Gears of Brofare. Said Bleszinksi: "Both the Call of Duty and Gears of War franchises have entertained millions of bros worldwide, with their epic campaigns, epically epic multiplayer, and most of all, their epic level of EPICNESS. We're excited to combine both franchises epic sensibilities into something epic that all bros an appreciate. EPIC." Following the reveal, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick had this to say: "We're incredibly excited to add Epic Games to our long list of Call of Duty-exclusive developers, which already includes Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software. With Epic on board, we can now increase Call of Duty's output from only one game every year to two games annually, giving gamers exactly what they want." What do you think? What would you like Epic Games to bring to the long running franchise? Let us know in the comments!

If they adopted a totally new engine with better physics, gave full dedicated server access as well as full use mod tools and built the game from the ground up for PC with today's hardware capability then they would have something. As of now with their piss poor policies of catering to consoles and consistently jacking their PC backbone with their 12 yr old gaming engine I would say they are a very very very long way from ever producing anything EPIC. That's just my opinion on the subject, BF3 is the best of the best. If they can figure out how to compete with it, I'll be watching but will rely on reviews before I ever buy anything COD ever again. Even then though, it's doubtful for this consumer.
