Should*
To be fair, this IW isn't the same IW that made CoD4 people wise, so they pretty much did move on to something else.
"We wanted to make more money, so we decided to continue making Call of Duty. Oh, and Mountain Dew are doing a special offer for our next blockbuster epic, 'Cow of Duty: Modern Moofare 10'. In stores about ten hours after Call of Duty: Ghosts."
"We still want to make the worst MP CoD's in the history of Call of Duty" Christ they really don't know how to balance.
Why wouldn't they make another Call of Duty? The fans are constantly craving for more, they are guaranteed to sell loads and make a lot of money. You cry out that they are making the same game every year: but that's what their fanbase wants and that's what's making them lots of money. They are holding one of the best selling game's franchises, they are obviously going to make use of it.
I'd be fine with IW/3arc pumping out cods every year if they weren't just the same reskinned game with little gameplay gimmicks tacked on to keep people interested

To be honest, they should just forgo the campaign completely and focus on multiplayer. The campaign only lasts a few hours and is atrociously written anyway, it's almost pointless.

I like how the article talks about Infinity Ward and the picture they used is of Black Ops 2, which is NOT made by infinity ward.

[QUOTE=simkas;40851374]I like how the article talks about Infinity Ward and the picture they used is of Black Ops 2, which is NOT made by infinity ward.[/QUOTE] It features a promotional Call of Duty: Ghosts camo weapon, but yeah, guilty as charged.
It's actually smart move to name the games Call of Duty Something. Call of Duty 10 doesn't have the same charm.
[QUOTE=Calkkuna;40851167]"We still want to make the worst MP CoD's in the history of Call of Duty" Christ they really don't know how to balance.[/QUOTE] How can you balance a ton of hitscan rifles/SMGs with no spread? One's going to kill faster than the others and it's going to be the best.
[QUOTE=simkas;40851374]I like how the article talks about Infinity Ward and the picture they used is of Black Ops 2, which is NOT made by infinity ward.[/QUOTE] it's an image they copy paste because they're too lazy to google relevant images. cod has the bops2 image, diablo has the butcher. wait. what if. they combined them???

They probably just couldn't think of any fresh ideas and as such will just continue recycling the same trash again and again.
[QUOTE=Computrix;40855226]They probably just couldn't think of any fresh ideas and as such will just continue recycling the same trash again and again.[/QUOTE] It's a bunch of unimportant filler staff from the old IW and fresh talent who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Basically all the people who are responsible for the pathfinding that brought us to Call of Duty 4, the people with actual vision, they're all gone now. what you have is a bunch of drones that don't so much as breath unless Activison says so and none of them have ANY pull with the suits to argue the case for new steps forward. I remind you that IW had to fight with Activison the entire way through Call of Duty 4's production to get it done.
i dont see anyone saying final fantasy 12 was a bad idea
final fantasy has been around for like two decades cod became megabig in 2007 i think consumers would be quicker to tire if it was actually called call of duty 9
why is the op picture black ops 2, a game made by treyarch? To be fair most of the old IW devs left the company either when Activision fucked them over with mw2 payments or the mw3 debacle. Most went to Robert Bowlings new indie company

They should just switch to the sports game naming scheme. Call of Duty 2014? Call of Duty '14? Call of Duty 2k14?
[QUOTE=Novangel;40863734]EA is indie?[/QUOTE] No, but Respawn Entertainment is. EA is publishing their upcomming title.
Uh, yeah, we all know they will make Call of Duty until the end of time, or until people stop setting sales records with every release. Whichever comes first.
I'm excited for CoD: Ghosts 2 and CoD: Ghosts 3.
Anyone stop to think what a bleak, horrifying universe Infinity Ward has built for CoD? A world of constant war and terror attacks, where every fighting-age male is drafted and thrown into battle as cannon fodder with a life expectancy measured in seconds? Where every country is in perpetual economic ruin from devastating warfare? It makes The Matrix look inviting.
I personally don't like COD, but like it or not, it sell a lot. I really can't see them making anything else soon
