Treyarch is the best at COD games, except Black Ops II leveling system was just stupid where you max out of unlock tokens before everything is unlocked. That was a bitch move.

Ah. I see Activision is finally taking a sledgehammer to Call of Duty.

Well this is actually great news. While a yearly IP release, each game is now a 3 year dev cycle, which gamers all seem to agree is the ideal time to make a great game.

well MW3 was terrible and that was handled by two devs. I dont have alot of faith in Sledgehammer by themselves. Ill pass. I might give the Treyarch one a shot. I still have faith in them. For people calling for its death, the decline has already started be patient.

So I read this as: CoD now costs 50% more to develop than last gen. Activision hoping to make up the difference by getting you to buy it at double price with DLC.

As long as you people keep buying it they will keep coming year after year. I didn't buy ghosts and will not buy another COD ever again.

Still super unlikely I'll ever get another, but it's a good thing the sales and ratings gave activision a wake up call.

hopefully, the devs can focus on quality, now that they have more time to work on their respected projects

Well, even though I really dislike CoD, it means that Activision isn't only thinking about squeezing out the last penny of the profits, which means higher quality games. Maybe they have to, to keep up development since artists need more time modelling etc because of new platforms.

Wont this just mean that the online communities of players will be now divided up even more meaning that there would be less chance of getting a decent online game with whichever game you happened to own. They're going to saturate their own market with shooters which will rival each other for community and hard the market as a result.

As oniyide said tho they claimed they were going to retake the record launch with GTA5 had stolen from them with ghosts... and it failed to come close to it so CoD is on the decline I would think. Especially when gta launched on 2 platforms and CoDDogs launched on everything it could.
