Because I think the series needs a break. Not that I hate it, I just don't like it coming out every November like it's a damn holiday.

How would that even be possible.... they have 4 devs working on the games. I would not mind if it did skip a year, if it would help Treyarch make a better game. I'm not implying that treyach has made bad games btw.... I'm not a treyarch hater like most IW fanboys.

I don't understand you people. Each developer takes two years to make one COD game and everyone says it's milking, Naughty Dog takes two years to make a new Uncharted and it's the 2nd coming of Jesus.

Not true. There are two kinds of people. People who play COD and that's about it and people who play COD and many other games. The latter dosen't let COD get in the way of other games and the former wouldn't play other games to begin with.

If it did skip a year, people wouldn't hate on it as much. At least I hope not. The COD games have real quality, they just make a yearly version of them and that is why people have a distroted and biased view about them. Or those people who hate it get owned by all the "kiddies."

It's because they could have made a bigger difference/improvement in 2 years, yet they don't.

Nothing. The CoD audience doesn't look at release dates like we do. When they see a MW3 ad on tv they go "lol what? The new CoD is coming out? Kewl man. Ima get that.", they're not like Battlefield 3 fans that go "OH MY GOD, BATTLEFIELD 3!!! BOW DOWN TO THE KING OF MULTIPLAYER, BOW DOWN TO MOTHER DICE!!!!". Battlefield 3 fans can get kind of crazy, y'all should've seen me when I found out you can see your legs in BF3.

A lot of people would cry, I guess. Personally, I'd shrug and continue playing my games.

From what I played from MW2 and from what I seen from the recent COD games the gameplay and everything is generally underwhelming in the games.I don't also listen to empty promises from the devs who are making MW3 so I'm not interested in the game.

Hard to make improvements on something that already perfect.

If CoD skip a year another shooter will take its place, we all want new shooters all time:P

But the thing is Naughty Dog actually knows how to use the PS3 to its fullest potential and they actually make new additions to their series. What has CoD added since CoD World at War? (my first CoD game) the dive?

i dont need all my games to have uncharted production values with amazing tech(for a console) etc.. etc.. in terms of additions... compare mw2 to cod 1 and u will see a difference. Truthfully there wouldnt be as much hate if the cod series just stayed with Infinity ward, the only ones who know what they are doing properly and thus would mean only having 4 cod games currently released In regards to your question: from waw to mw2 (different devs by the way, so they have different plans) spec ops Deathstreaks Customizable killstreaks , and lots of them. (including interactive ones) A deep unlock system with the titles/emblems, unlocking them via challenges New lot of weapons , including a riot shield and throwing knives new online modes including 3rd person mode (which sucks but still an addition) More indepth perk system with pro versions host migration and better netcode to find a local game. offline mp is now more fleshed out and being able to play the online game , offline with unlockables and stuff

probably due to the fact that they put out a cod, that should be more like an expansion pack and charge it full price

In a perfect world, they'd take 3 or so years per game and return to the roots of CoD 1 and United Offensive, but that's asking too much

Something would need to happen first before it even skips a year.

That something would be: The franchise wouldnt have that yearly demand from its audience.

In theory it would give other games a chance to shine. In reality the brogamers would flock back to Halo and other popular shooters and nothing would change.

PC elitism leads to better video games.

Someone is upset because devs care more about Console gaming than they do PC gaming.
