I will say that the Infinity Ward that I'm meeting with today is one of the most talented developers in the world. There's still a lot of talent and a lot of vision inside that studio, and if I had just woken up from a coma and never read a press release about Infinity Ward and just gone to my meetings with them, I would have walked out and said, 'those guys are the real deal'.


He then went on to praise Treyarch for their work on Black Ops:

Treyarch is of course going to remain a centrepiece of our efforts on Call of Duty, and they have been. From the beginning, they've been contributing. I think that they've broke through to another level with this game, I think that they really just put their head down, tuned out the noise, and got to a pretty elite level in terms of the game that they've delivered here. They will, of course, figure prominently into our future plans and management of the franchise.


Hisberg then added the following regarding Sledgehammer, who are set to make the next Call of Duty:

With Glen Schofield and their performance in Dead Space and what they've done in the past, I've nothing but high hopes for their contributions.

umm since cod4 came out IW was working on mw2 since w@w came out treyarch was working on black ops both had the same amount of time.

ive never played dead space it better be good and i think infinity ward is the best. how long did ppl play mw2 without complaining and there is a ton of ppl who still play cod 4 alot more then treyarch's gay ass cod 5 that failed worse than any other cod. i just wish they fixed some more of the stuff in black ops sooner
