Treyarch or Infinity Ward?

Inifinity Ward.

How easily people forget that Infinity Ward created not just Modern Warfare, but the whole Call of Duty franchise. They made Call of Duty 1, 2, 4 (MW) and Modern Warfare 2. Out of those, only Modern Warfare 2 was a bit of a dissappointment.

It was their decision to take Call of Duty into the modern day, not Activision (in fact, apparently Activisio didn't like the idea), nor Treyarch. They made the Engine for the modern HD games and their games are generally more polished, and have less glitches and bugs. Everything that Treyarch implement is polishing of work Infinity Ward did before with the exception of the Zombie mode.

The games that Treyarch have made have improved, but their earlier games, like CoD3 were absolutely terrible. Black Ops is a definite improvement, but it hardly brings anything new to the table, just polishes what came before. Even the Zombie mode, whilst fun, feels like a poor man's Left 4 Dead.

Oh I've played the first two COD games, and loved them. But I can't just give them credit based only on the past. The mistakes they made with MW2 were massive, and enough to affect my judgement of them as a whole.
