Job Posting Fuels Raven Software Call of Duty Rumor
by Brian Leahy, Jan 05, 2011 3:00pm PSTA job posting on Raven Software's official website reveals that the company "is seeking a lead visual effects artist to drive the development of stunning visual effects for an established console-based, realistic, first-person military shooter" (via MCVUK).
This adds some fuel to the rumor that Raven is now working on the Call of Duty franchise, which popped up back in May 2010. Some sources said Raven would be working on its own Call of Duty game, while others put the company on DLC duty for Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops.
The new job posting certainly appears to be referring to Call of Duty as it is the only "established console-based, realistic, first-person military shooter" I can think of owned by Activision, though I can't help but hope it's for a new ultra-realistic Soldier of Fortune game!

A source within the industry who has previously leaked other information when I was writing for Xboxic (leaks include confirming Black Op's March 2010, Naming Kinect before E3 May 2010, First Gears 3 Images April 2010, amongst others) has informed me that an upcoming Call of Duty title from Infinity Ward will not be created on an all new game engine, and will not be released this year under the title of Modern Warfare 3!
It has been alleged that Infinity Ward are creating a game that will focus on the character Ghost who first appeared in Modern Warfare 2, this game will centre around the events leading up to the war in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as a prequel, and then further reveal how Ghost first became a member of Task Force 141 based on the comic book stories written by David Lapham. In various parts of the game that will focus on the life of Ghost - players will revisit locations from both Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2, but this time from a different viewpoint.
