More pertinent to this story, though, is his stint as a Call of Duty director at Sledgehammer Games.<\/p>\n<p>From 2009 to 2018, Schofield served as co-director on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011), Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Call of Duty: WWII.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In an <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/features\/interviews\/interview-glen-schofields-plan-to-save-the-games-industry\/\">interview with VGC<\/a>, Schofield answered a question about the franchise&#8217;s future now that it&#8217;s in Xbox&#8217;s wheelhouse, and he&#8217;s uncertain about how things will go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I worry about it immensely, I really do,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Because what\u2019s happening to Gears of War, where\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/games\/xbox-one\/halo_the_master_chief_collection\" title=\"Games &gt; Halo [477 articles]\">Halo<\/a>\u2026 you know what I mean? And you look at EA, you look at these big companies, and I\u2019m like where\u2019s the Strike games? Where\u2019s this game? And there are so many that just fall by the wayside.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His main concern seems to be that Xbox leadership won&#8217;t be compatible with existing staff incentives and other cultural factors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, once you\u2019re assimilated by one of these companies, I think you take on some of their traits,&#8221; Schofield says. &#8220;The other thing is, I don\u2019t know, but I would imagine that the Call of Duty bonus system is out, and now you have theirs, and people are going to go &#8216;that isn\u2019t that&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, he&#8217;s worried that the loss of key creative leads will have an impact, citing his own departure as well as the likes of Michael Condrey (Sledgehammer co-founder) and David Vonderhaar (longtime CoD designer).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ll give you one selfish example, I hate doing this, but since I left Sledgehammer, none of the games have been very good. I mean, the last one [from Sledgehammer, Modern Warfare 3 (2023)] was a 50. They still sell well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, that happens. You move. I always wonder &#8216;why did you take that guy out, it\u2019s not going to work later&#8217;, and very few times does that work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_A68F2239CBC280\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fairly sceptical viewpoint, and one that will only be proven right or wrong in the long term.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:189615,187086,183649 @ 1760698807 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\">\n<header class=\"widget-header\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<div class=\"object-related-list\">\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/386b2c01a4acb\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Xbox Squandered Over $300 Million Putting Call of Duty in Game Pass\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Xbox_Squandered_Over_300_Million_Putting_Call_of_Duty_in_Game_Pass\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Xbox Squandered Over $300 Million Putting Call of Duty in Game Pass<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">At launch, 82% of full-price Black Ops 6 sales were on PlayStation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/c0c51a191c0fc\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Call of Duty Dev Commits to Sensible Skins in Black Ops 7 Following Strong Community Backlash\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Call_of_Duty_Dev_Commits_to_Sensible_Skins_in_Black_Ops_7_Following_Strong_Community_Backlash\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Call of Duty Dev Commits to Sensible Skins in Black Ops 7 Following Strong Community Backlash<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">No more Carry Forward from Black Ops 6<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/11557ca13b6ef\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Black Ops 7 Will Be the 'Most Mind-Bending' Call of Duty Ever on PS5, PS4\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Black_Ops_7_Will_Be_the_%E2%80%98Most_Mind-Bending_Call_of_Duty_Ever_on_PS5_PS4\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Black Ops 7 Will Be the &#8216;Most Mind-Bending&#8217; Call of Duty Ever on PS5, PS4<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">The numbers, Mason<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<p>What are your thoughts about Call of Duty&#8217;s future as part of Xbox?
