treyarc / infinty ward question

how come treyarc and infinity ward and treyarc switch every call of duty game. i mean they are 2 different developers and why do they work on the same game?

Because Activision loves to milk all their game series to death. They make money on a Call of Duty game once a year (since Infinity Ward and Treyarch take turns making a Call of Duty game) and the Guitar Hero franchise makes about 3 games a year if not more. It is all about the money...

The two developers actually have an agreement. IW does all even numbered (excluding ACTUAL names for the games) Call of Duty games and Treyarch does all the odd numbered ones.

Money makes the world go round

they dont anymore, Treyarch makes Call Of Duty and Infinity Ward makes Modern Warfare, 2 seperate franchises now.

Money and quality. Money because they know they can make more by putting a new COD out each year. Quality because they give the developer 2 years to make the game, rather than do what EA does and rush out annual versions of its games with little or no changes. It costs the publisher more by having 2 companies making the games, but hopes to more than earn this back by keeping the quality high so people keep buying every year.Avenger1324
