Still think it's stupid as heck that MW3 is releasing 1 year after MW2. We need a much longer gap between new titles in a CoD sub series. I get that they really only have 2 CoD sub series that sell well, Black Ops and Modern Warfare, due to each of the 3 new sub-IP's that Sledgehammer made (Advanced Warfare, WW2, and Vanguard) selling considerably less than Black Ops and Modern Warfare games do, but that is still no excuse to milk MW and Black Ops into the ground, they should let Sledgehammer keep trying until they develop a sub-IP that sells as well as Black Ops and Modern Warfare. This MW3 didn't even get 3 years of development, Sledgehammer's last title was CoD Vanguard in 2021, so MW3 from Sledgehammer is releasing with just 2 years of development time.

Really hope that Phil does decide to slow the CoD release schedule down from yearly to every other year like he suggested he would, it would eventually give each of the 3 main singleplayer+multiplayer CoD studios 6 years to make their games instead of 3 years, and with double the dev time on each game, less support studios would be needed to assist and keep up with the grueling 3 year per game dev cycle, freeing up other Activision studios besides the main 4 (Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer, and Raven), studios such as Beenox and Toys For Bob, to release more of their own games without constantly having dev team members pulled from their own games to assist on CoD crunch.
