VentureBeat recently did an interview with Dave Stohl who is Activision’s Executive Vice President for studios and the guy who decides how many developers Activision Blizzard work on the Call of Duty series.

With Call of Duty being the biggest franchise for the company and the one that generates billions of the dollars for Activision, it stands to reason that Activision pulls out all the stops for the game. Apparently it has with more than 500 developers working on Call of Duty at any given time. Activision has four to five studios working on the game, which is more than most other game companies. Activision has invested $2 billion in new games development and it would appear that Call of Duty has the largest slice of that pie.

Stohl admits that running all these studios and keeping everything coordinated is a take unto itself but has since assured us gamers that Modern Warfare 3 will definitely sate the thirst of gamers for something new and will keep gamers every happily killing each other online for another bijillion hours.

However, even with all those developers, many complain that the game hasn’t drastically changed for the better with some citing that it has progressively gotten worse since the release of Call of Duty 4. Could it be a case of too many cooks in the kitchen? Or has the game gotten better in your opinion? Let us know in the comments below.
