Yeahh it does....probably all the sequelsDTWolfwood said:
But yeah, Halo's 2001 and CoD2's 2005 XD
This might be a good move though a better move would be to just give the COD franchise a rest for 3 or 4 years and see if people still want it.
See Activision in their extremely finite vision seem determined to release a new COD game every November and with only two studios tag teaming this is clearly causing compromises in quality... MW2 was just not very fresh and is on the wrong side of the 6 hour minimum acceptable length of singleplayer.
You cannot make a new engine and a game to go with it within 2 years... you just can't. Now three dev studios in tag teams would give a much more comfortable 3 year development cycle.
Though the most ideal route would be to... I don't know... not try to make a "franchise" out of Call of Duty.
By all means, keep making sequels for it... but not every year. I'd rather have just one Truly Classic call of duty game every 3-4 years than to try and desperately churn them out at such a rate.
I mean they tried to do that with the James Bond franchise, one every year... yet the best ones are those that time were taken over.

As much as I sympathize with the complaints about Activision milking its cash cow bone dry EA Sports styly... why is it that just now people are really starting to get off about it? Look it up, there's been a Call of Duty game every year since 2005! Even since 2003, if you count the CoD 1 add-on. Now that's hardly news, is it?
yeah but then you still have all the Cod Fan boys which I'm pretty sure beats WoW's fanbase and im talking about the Fan Fanboys that will play a sequel to the game they liked and even if it sucks they will keep playing and try to convince everyone else that it's better than jesus.Ori Disciple said:
if Activision wants to pump the money out of me not only with guitar hero (which lost its charm after 3), half-decent games (WaW and many others i dont know the name of) plus an P2P MMO?
Activision, you are now offcialy the worst game related company since Atari or LJN.

You know it would be kind of cool though playing a Presitant MMO war game where its not level based and the missions are semi level based or just being in the battle or hq with free roam and maybe even traveling to a battle zone with no mission just to fight you know what I mean
I find it unfortunate that at the very moment the FPS genre reached its peak with CoD 4, the publisher had to royally screw over the same PC community that had made it what it was, then have the developer essentially implode. If only the whole 'removing every standard feature of online PC games since Quake' thing hadn't happened, MW 2 could have and should have been the greatest FPS ever made.
The inevitable massive expanision of the CoD brand under discussion suggests over saturation is imminent and the impact of an individual title will substantially lessen. Thus, despite the series reaching it's height, there is little hope of future games convincingly surpassing their forbears. For that hope, I will be turning to the new Medal of Honor and whatever Respawn produces. Let us pray they can deliver.
