The phone part kills me.

what do you personally think its likely to be?

Wow, you might want to cover the dog's eyes instead.

If Infinity Ward completely leaves the Call of Duty franchise there really won't be much of a point (and it would be sad since it is their franchise).

If I had to guess what would happen is IW would leave the franchise and just completely make Modern Warfare its own franchise and then continue the Call of Duty franchise as normal with the other two teams.

And think when they get done with Modern Warfare 3, I'm sure someone at Activision will have the bright idea to put two teams on that too!

Is it just me or do you think that Big Bird would make a better community manger than those two ?

probably a port team for Wii DS PSP IPhone etc

edit: or just the MMO/MAG ripoff

IW are going to make a new IP after MW2, right? And Activision probably likes having a CoD every year and therefore they're creating a reserve team!

I have no idea. That's why I'm not making assumptions. Too often we see something that can be interpreted in many ways and always assume the most grandiose interpretation is the right one. Whether it's an RPG announcement everyone assumes will be for an HD console and it ends up being a DS game, to an announcement from a publisher everyone assumes will be the biggest announcement and time and time again it's just a game no one here cares about. 

There are so many different ways to interpret this that there's no point jumping the gun and making statements that may or may not happen and passing them off as fact. Considering the amount of teams it takes just to make every yearly Call of Duty, it's not out of the question that Activision might be hiring a platform specific team. Maybe they don't want to outsource the DS versions to n-Space, or they're seeing a need to have a Wii specific team to get the games on schedule, or they want to re-explore PSP titles.

Also you have to understand that if they hire a new team, that doesn't mean they can make COD every 6 months. A new team would need the same 24 months the other two teams need, which would mean every 9 months they could release a game, or more realistically, each team might share a three year schedule.

So, either Moderna Warfare and Call of Duty are going to become household names, or they will be milked so hard that they will take the entire FPS genre with them.

Keep milking it Activision, you'll screw it up and it will die.
