Who is the better Call of Duty developer? Infinity Ward, or Treyarch?

The only COD I played over a long period of time is COD2. So who ever made COD2.

I think Treyarch is, because there is just something about their games that just make them unique, and Call of duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops (Especially Black Ops) are some of my favorite games. Yeah, COD 3 was sh!t, but after that, Treyarch games were great. Infinity Ward on the other hand was a great developer, with Call of Duty 2, but Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Modern Warfare 2 were such overrated crap, and MW3 made me hate Infinity Ward. But, I loved COD 2. My point is, Treyarch is a much better developers. Which do you prefer? Infinity Ward, or treyarch? Kevlar101

I enjoyed Black Ops and World at War, but Infinity Ward make the better game without a doubt. Their games are more polished and the MP has a tighter feel in my opinion. Just last night I played Blops MP followed directly by MW3 MP and in my opinion MW3 feels tighter and more polished. The hit detection in Black Ops just feels off. I do love Frank Woods though, such a badass and I'm pretty sure the sequel is all about him.

For f*cks sake, this is a Call of Duty thread! People should be all over it.Kevlar101

LOL treyarch?:lol: You do know IW was the only "real" devoloper of COD. Treyarchs CODs were handed down projects to have a release every year. They aren't the real devs of COD--every thing they did was based on IW and its CODs design. But i guess now that IW basically no longer exists, you can argue for Treyarch. Before that, IW all day every day.

Not saying they are bad games, but the question was: Who is the better "COD" dev--IW or Treyarch. IW, back when they were fully staffed and had the brains behind it. They moved the COD franchise foward with their releases--CODs game engines and optimzation--more so than Treyarch. Treyarch took the designs of IWs engine/optimization and added a little flavor of their own--zombies and etc. We wouldn't be talking about Treyarch if their game wasn't named COD: Insert Tag Here. I guarantee you if those HomeFront developers had the COD logo in front of it: COD: Homefront, it would've been rated as a better game and definately sold more. Again, not saying they aren't good games, but the question here pertains specifically on "Call of Duty" and not FPSs.

[QUOTE="Kevlar101"] Yeah, maybe their games are just filler between IW games, but that does not down their quality one bit. Kevlar101

I would say I can argue about liking BO's campaign more so than MW2 but not MW1. Not a big fan of BOs multiplayer because it just felt way too laggy compared to MW2--I'd turn the corner and die. In the replay it'll show me running out of cover from the corner for like a good split second already. However, BO > over Sledgehammer and half-staffed IW MW3 campaign and multiplayer.

What Treyarch did do right: Survival mode, theater mode, training mode--basically all the little extras. IW basically had none. Half staffed IW had a half-a$$ theater mode and extras compared to BO. Hell, you could say that Treyarch created COD:Elite--for free on BO AND it had more features.

Treyarch is the better developer. Infinity Ward might have been back in the day, but Treyarch has really upped their game (as seen in Black Ops). Black Ops is better than MW3, and I expect the streak to continue with Black Ops 2.

They both suck. Now that i have gotten that out of the way i will say IW designs better campaigns ( even though they are still really bad ), Treyarch design better multiplayer.

IWs MP design for COd4 was a joke. Call Of Duty 3s MP design was way better, & had far more potential. If Call Of Duty 4 didnt blow up i bet Treyarch would have went forward with its Cod 3 MP design & carried that into WAW.

Now the series has gotten so big that i bet Activision demands the multiplayer to be the same for fear of losing its fanbase if it tried something new, or different

Infinity Ward.
