We all know Call of Duty‘s setup: one year we get the highly anticipated Infinity Ward title, and the next we get the Treyarch one, which never goes down quite as well. Call of Duty: Black Ops is seemingly bucking the trend this year though, with amazing sales and high praise from critics and gamers alike. Apparently we’re wrong to think of Treyarch as the lesser of the two developers too, or at least Activison CEO Bobby Kotick says so.
When a Joystiq interview refereed to the developer as the b-team of the franchise, Kotick was quick to shoot it down. “That’s an unfair view of Treyarch. You know it’s not really an objective view,” he said.
“Treyarch contributed so significantly to the multiplayer technology that’s in Modern Warfare 2 and they didn’t really get the credit for that.” Treyarch also keep their hands busy around the clock with other projects like Wii-ports of CoD games; they’re certainly an efficient studio.
Kotick also commented on the current state of Infinity Ward: “There’s at least 60 or 70 super-talented, amazingly capable people who are there. They shouldn’t have to suffer for the bad actions of a couple of guys. They have a great culture, they’re really good independent thinkers – incredible technology base.”

Easter Egg!
Treyarch should make the game ( Perks etc but Ask the community for their opinion on what they like and dont like , Make PUBLIC beta`s ( enough ppl to see how the servers would cope ( lag etc )
But they should let Infinity ward deal with the Graphics side of it ( becuase Mw2 graphics look better than black ops in my opinion )
They should not do Exclusive Deals with Any Console ( Xbox etc .. )
If they did that , black ops would have been BEAST but they didn`t .

Yea CoD4 was amazing, but BO is pretty BA. I will admit, I had the most fun in CoD4, everyone played Michael Myers and zombies (glitches made it even funner)
, but I am really liking the BO gameplay (MW2 had a crappy online gameplay, but it was better than WaW so I played it). IMHO Treyarch stepped up in my book, I was expecting much less but got so much more 
Thank you Treyarch still hate you guys for taking out QS though

They dont deserve any credit because there games are crap. As a PS3 user, I find Treyarch can not develop for any console other than 360 and they just make a crappy port.
IW are soo much better but they ruined MW2 by adding too much stuff without thinking. Then IW fell apart and so the game was never fixed.
