Infinity Ward could lose 20 more, still make 'competitive product'

Sounds like full on damage control. Should IW put something else out, it would be expected to meet or exceed departed talent. I would expect a MUCH different experience for the next installment in the series. Who knows? Could blow away everything they've thrown out there so far. Doubt it tho.

it's MOHAA vs. COD all over again, EA said Medal of Honor wouldn't be affected by the departure of 2015's top talent to Activision

lo and behold, COD kicked MOH's ass so hard, it never recovered

i doubt that had anything to do with CoD kicking MoH's ass

Well imo they haven't been able to make a competitive product since 2007 (even with full staff), but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

If you ask me Treyarch does a pretty good job with the CoD series and they don't have the top IW talent.... I mean WaW was probably one of the best WW2 fps games I've played and CoD3 was a fair effort if you take into consideration they only had 9 months (instead of 2 years) to develop it.

I just think that now that the formula is there it won't be too hard to make new cod games... who knows maybe some new brains inside the IW studio could turn out well? Because it isn't like we saw a huge improvement from MW1 to MW2

I'm sure Treyarch's copy of MW2 will sell very well when it comes out. With decent marketing IW could probably make the game after that sell fine too. Whether or not the series survives after that is anyone's guess. I'm going to go ahead and say "no".

Activision didn't hire Treyarch to innovate within the series, they hired them to create fillers between each IW release. All I was trying to say is that now that IW has put the formula in place it isn't hard to replicate with or without this so called talent.

The zero (or negative) improvement between MW1 and MW2 just proves this. I would say BlackOps is looking like a much more compelling title than MW2 from what little we know.

Aslong as they stick the Call of Duty MW logo on the front they could sell crap in a box to the majority of people who bought it.
