Source of rumor is some posts here on GAF in this thread, now being reported by various sites, so I thought a new thread was ok.

With the past few Call of Duty games being set in the not-too-distant future, some franchise fans might be thinking or wishing that future games in the franchise specifically this years iteration being developed by Infinity Ward either return to the present day, or go back to the World War II era. Unfortunately, that doesnt seem to be happening.
Noted industry insider shinobi602 has posted a few details on this years Call of Duty over on NeoGAF and he mentions how the game will be set in the very far future, will go the sci-fi route, and even have space battles!
Eggbok: Wasnt Ghosts already sorta futuristic though? Not to the level of Black Ops 3 and Advanced Warfare but still there.
shinobi602: This makes Black Ops 3 feel like the stone age. Metaphorically of course.
El_Chino: Are we talking Battlefield 2142 style?
shinobi602: Very far future. Space combat. Full on sci-fi.
While we usually dont believe or report on any rumors that pop up out of nowhere, shinobi does have a very decent track record when it comes to these things. Of note, he leaked that Black Ops 3 will feature wall-running, and robotic limbs and cybernetics which the Specialists used that all turned out to be spot-on. Not only that, but he confirmed that Black Ops 3 was coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 and that it was being handled by another studio (not Treyarch).
