Treyarch fucking sucks and copies every idea IW has. I bet Call of Duty 7 goes back to WWII courtesy of Treyarch.

IW didn't come up with Nazi Zombies.

Woah, I'm still waiting for Call of Duty 5.

Eh, looking at disolitude's list. I haven't played every single one, but nothing on there looks good at all.

you are not looking hard enough or you really haven't played many of those games.


Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm was kickass on the dreamcast. NHL 2K games were better than EA games. Spideman 2 was one of the best superhero games ever made. CAll of Duty games  were as good as Infinity ward games.

Plus, these guys port their games to multiple systems not just make 1 version...

Never owned a Sega console, so I wouldn't know about those.

So basically:

IW: Specialise in FPS games and was formed from guys that made Medal of Honor games. They're very good at what they do due to this specialisation (even though I don't agree with what they've done with the PC version of MW2)

Treyarch: Jack of all trades, produce good quality games from multiple genres and on multiple systems. However, because they haven't specialised, they haven't produced a Call of Duty game of the same caliber as IW have. There is definite improvement between CoD3 and WaW though.

Overall speaking Treyarch is more important to activision since they are more versatile.

IW is a fps company/group. That' a label they will find difficult to change. Remember the ensemble!



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Both devs are great, but Infinity Ward a bunch of assholes.

I like Treyarch and I like the relationship they have with IW. Lack of communication means that they are both fighting to out do each other

It gives us a nice break from whatever games each of them make for a year. Since most people dislike Treyarch more, it means we can keep playing the new modern warfare game for that extra year whilst Treyarch releases what they release. Also on the flip side, their ideas remain their own. I'm glad there's no russian zombie mode in Modern Warfare 2, and I'll also be glad that there won't be an identical spec ops mode in Treyarch's next game (I'm predicting co-operative 4 player multiplayer scenarios).
