Has Activision even done anything new or innovative in the past 5 years?
Yeah... I do think that they are overdoing this a bit. Why not make one every 2 years and bring out better DLC?
Their motivation begins and ends with money. Why bring out a game bi-annually when you can milk it every single year? They did the same with Guitar Hero, but at least with GH the franchise eventually died.
On the other hand, I really like Treyarch's CoD titles. It's just Infinity Ward that has trouble doing anything interesting with the game. With MW3 I played the first mission of the campaign and it felt the exact same as MW2. I didn't even bother playing past that.
Interesting that Treyarch developed the Wii U versions of Ghosts!
not developed (PORTED) treyarch has been doing it for years now (they ported mw reflex and mw3 to the original wii)
