He went on to say the studio’s work “just aren’t as good” as before, though he praised Treyarch’s continued quality. Schofield reflected on his own run at Activision as a high point — a period he remembers as a who’s‑who of talent — and noted that he was behind Modern Warfare 3 (2011).
Schofield also claimed that his Modern Warfare 3 was the last Call of Duty to win Action Game of the Year, with two of his other titles receiving nominations; he suggested awards and that level of recognition have become rarer for the franchise since.
Sledgehammer’s recent contributions have been Call of Duty: Vanguard and the later Modern Warfare 3 (2023). If you play the numbers game, Schofield joked, we might see a “Modern Warfare 3²” by 2035.
Activision finally gives in and confirms Call of Duty Black Ops 7 will not use SBMM: “At launch, Open Matchmaking with minimal skill consideration will be the default”
