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.

Adding features does not make the game a whole new game.
Think of this analogy.
You have two cars and model one has a DVD player one does not.
Do you still call the cars the same name?
If IW had made BlackOps it would have been so much better.

Thats not even the same thing. Okay take this then. The Mustang 2011 has more features than the Mustang 2010, but is based off the same model as the last. Black Ops should be similar its a FPS should they change it into a RPG to satisfy you? No is the answer

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...
