Mark Rubin, an executive producer working on Call of Duty: Ghosts, says that his team is happy to see the increasing competition in the first-person shooter genre because it gives them more of an incentive to create even better games.

He tells GamesIndustry.biz that, “I think that’s the part that keeps us hungry, that keeps us… we don’t want to feel like the top dog, necessarily.”

He adds, “We want to feel that almost ‘Rocky moment’, which is kind of a weird thing to say, but we do want to feel like that.”

Direct competition for Ghosts will be offered by Battlefield 4, which is being developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts.

The two games will be launched in the space of less than 10 days in late October and early November and will dominate end-year sales charts.
