Despite huge interest in the franchise, Activision doesn't expect this year's Call of Duty game to be as successful as Call of Duty: Black Ops, the publisher's Chief Financial Officer Thomas Tippl has revealed.
"In order to be prudent and given the enormous success of Black Ops, at this point, we have still planned a retail release in the fall below the levels of success that we have seen with Black Ops," he said talking in a conference call last night.
"So that's very consistent with how we treated that last year."

Activision previously projected that Black Ops wouldn't perform as well as 2009's Modern Warfare 2. It did, of course, going on to out-sell MW2 by 16% during its first week on sale.
But despite the scepticism, Tippl's still convinced this year's CoD will do alright for itself.
"Now having said all of that, I think we have a blockbuster retail release lined up for the fall that we are extremely excited about, which will be hopefully again the biggest game of the year."
It's still not know what this year's Call of Duty game will be or who the developer is behind it. Rumours point to a release of Modern Warfare 3, but we're still putting our money on it being a Call of Duty title from Sledgehammer Games.
Call of Duty: Black Ops launched in November 2010 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Wii.

No flaming, but wrong section

Sorry i posted in the wrong section!!!!mod put this in the rite forum please!!!

oh wow thats sucks

I'v gone off CoD.
I think BF3 will be the biggest game of the year.

That's my view anyways, CoD has lost its touch since Black Ops.

Maybe it will be like CoD4. Not huge before release, but have an awesome outcome. I can't speak for everyone else, but I think most would agree that we need another game like 4.

Simplicity is key if you ask me. I hope what he is saying doesn't mean that he thinks the game will suck. That's not a good attitude when creating a video game.

They're smart and I know why.

MW2 was an amazing game for it's time. So many new players came onto CoD. Soon later, the long anticipated Black Ops came out, and it made MW2's mass fans buy Black Ops. Soon after, Black Ops became shit and now that mass of fans are not interested in CoD anymore because BO is boring and the past games are hacked.

YOU KNOW YOU LOST ACTIVISION, WE KNOW

Won't top black ops early sales, but will in overall sales I believe.

while never get one .like 4 its like the first time you high u need less hits get there than as you become more use to the drug(game) u expect more from the hit you take (Next game in the series) and than it takes now more to get you high(to like that next game) therefor there will never be another game like cod4 i hope you get me

I've never done weed, but I think I understand what you're saying.
In all honesty though, I would be happy playing CoD4 with all the extra things in the other CoD's.

For example:

• Game winning killcams
  
• Theater mode
  
• Gun updates
