Returning to World War II
The decision to return to World War II was not a simple one. It was a combination of listening to the Call of Duty community’s desire for innovation and new experiences, as well as the passion of the development team at Sledgehammer Games.

Hirshberg described it as a thoughtful and well-thought-out design that could potentially transform the way the community interacts with one another. While he acknowledged the comparison to Destiny’s tower, he emphasized that the headquarters came from the idea of creating a more social experience within Call of Duty.
