The Call Of Duty Series Will Return To "Traditional Combat"
During today's earnings call, Activision Blizzard revealed that the Call of Duty series will be returning to "traditional combat" after its brief fling with sci-fi in Infinite Warfare. The publisher acknowledged the disappointing performance of Infinite Warfare and mentioned that in 2017, the publisher will be "giving players what they want."
Activision Blizzard said that Sledgehammer Games, the developer behind Advanced Warfare, is developing the series' next, unnamed title.

Our Take
It isn't quite clear what "traditional combat" means. A return to World War 2? Modern warfare? Whatever it is, I'm personally excited to get my hands on another Call of Duty game by Sledgehammer Games.
