US Developers tend to rush their games to meet release dates set long in advance.
Also, since you mention CoD, you are hopefully aware that there are 3 studios taking turns to release the games, so it's technically even 3 years each for them. And that's with all the textures, assets and engine recycling. Without this constant recycling, their games would also take just as long unless they want to release it unfinished (well, they do anyways)
