A new report claims Modern Warfare 3 was developed in just 16 months. That's roughly half the time of a standard Call of Duty release.
More than a dozen employees at developer Sledgehammer shared their experiences working on the Modern Warfare 2 sequel with Bloomberg - in particular the need to crunch by working late nights and weekends ahead of release due to its truncated development period.
Meanwhile, sources said that Modern Warfare 3 initially started out as an expansion to last year's Modern Warfare 2 - something that was previously suggested. This expansion, which was codenamed Jupiter, was reportedly going to be set solely in Mexico, rather than a globe spanning release the Call of Duty series is typically known for.
