Like any genre that has been milked dry, every first person shooter (FPS) invariably tends to give seasoned gamers a sense of deja vu. This is more so for the war FPS genre. Call of Duty (CoD) broke the monotony of the World War II themed shooters with Modern Warfare saga, and rivals like Medal of Honor followed suit. If circumstantial evidence is to be believed, Activision may just be looking to reboot its flagship shooter franchise to avoid gamer fatigue before it even manifests itself.

 

The "information-sleuthing site" Superannuation sniffed up information on Activision securing various domains with a futuristic theme, undoubtedly for the next CoD game. These domains include "Future Warfare," "Advanced Warfare," "Secret Warfare," and "Space Warfare", all of which point to the possibility of the next CoD game being based on space marines. Conflicting reports cite the development in the hands of Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games or Infinity Ward. Old schoolers will remember that the rise of FPS genre started off with Doom's space marine. Talk about life coming a full circle!
