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:

BlackOps has a new feel to it. That feeling is totally un-enjoyable. Worst call of duty to date. Its whey past beyond shit.

Do a barrel roll!
Man... I can't wait to see what Respawn Entertainment will create, CoD is spiraling its way into the ground and is going to crash and burn if this keeps up. Thanks for ruining it Activision...

COD4 still remains my #1 it had a big fun factor to it.
World at War was ****ing garbage
COD MW2 was alright I guess
COD Black ops is actually quite decent IMO.
Who knows where this franchise is going.

Pre-exodus Infinity Ward was the best (Jason West and Vince Zampella). Activision can keep lying to themselves all they want, IW is nothing now. They will milk the CoD franchise into the ground for as long as they can, but Treyarch and Sledgehammer (who?) are either incompetent copycats (Treyarch) or unproven / unknown (Sledgehammer).
Call of Duty is the phenomenon it is now because of Infinity Ward, because of Jason and Vince. The reason MW2 was not able to be all it could be is not because IW sucked, it is because Activision management is composed of liars and cheats. Activision wants AAA titles but doesn’t actually want to pay for them. Of course there wasn’t any solid support for MW2 after release; the studio behind it was gone. IW (Jason / Vince) cared about their fans, Activision doesn’t (you already bought the game; they don’t care if you are unhappy).
The most disappointing thing of all is the gaming community. Most are just uninformed sheep; they will keep paying retail for broken games.
P.S. Before I get all the "Black Ops is awesome" comments, or how it is so much better than MW2, or it is the best CoD game ever, or how ignorant I am, or Treyarch is God, remember one thing - Black Ops and WaW are just re-skins of Infinity Ward's games. Of course you like them, they are the same game. Go play CoD 3 if you love Treyarch so much...

I disagree with the comment that Black Ops is a reskin of Infinity Ward's games. They added many more features. A credits system, custom playercards, no more quickscoping, minigames, nazi zombies, etc...

it doesnt matter which CoD is the best, as long as its beating shitty Bad Company and the rest of EA's shooter's. last i checked, EA made sport games, if they need to make a shooter so bad, make an Olympic Archery game or something.
But as far as CoD goes, Treyarch isn't as good as IW. WaW was probably the worst game ive ever played. the only thing that kept it even semi-decent was zombies, which sparked a very new unique feature to CoD, and the War game-mode. idk why, i loved it. Black Ops is alright, i dont think its that great. i like the gun game, and sort of One in a Chamber, the rest of wager matches suck. the zombie maps suck, im not going to lie, still fun, but terrible. i think the guns are a little under-powered, but nothing to big to complain about, and its extremely laggy.
Sledgehammer, who the hell are they? (i know there dead space or whatever
but seem quite unknown) there website has nothing on it except that they are making a CoD lol. im waiting to see their CoD come out, then i will debate whether they are good or not.
Infinity Ward, ****in amazing!! led the CoD franchise. CoD4, 1 of the best shooters still to date, IMO. then MW2, which for a long time was a very good game, until people started OMA noob toobing, and using the most nooby classes. Still a good game i think, and if you can find a match without noob-toobers, or riot shielders, etc. than it can be a GREAT game. the players made MW2 suck, not the game itself. the perks and weapons were made for different purposes, not to all be used together to form a very nooby setup.
Also, i know many people say IW sucks, for putting all this stuff into MW2, but you have to understand, this is all experimenting. MW2 took the step up to say, "hey, lets add a heartbeat sensor, so you can see nearby enemies", and, "hey, lets add OMA, like a pack to hold ammo, so you can change classes and never run out of ammo." after people realised these are not good, and make the game bad, it gives Treyarch to say, "they dont like this stuff, lets take it out." Then they'll experiment and add stuff, like taking out stopping power, no add-on killstreaks, etc. now sledgehammer will do the same, and this keeps going. lucky for Treyarch, it seems they tried really hard to do what they could to do what the fans want, and of course they put QSing back because people didnt like not having it, which IW failed to fix their problems, but i cannot blame them for it either.
sorry i wrote so much
i tend to carry on with stuff a bit.
