Wow! So there's another one after Ghost right away?
A new COD games comes out every November.

Oh no, not this time IW. You burned me with Ghost now you will have to really bring the pain to get me to spend money on another one of your titles. Instead of releasing a new game fix the broken train wreck you have out now. It's appropriately named because Call of duty is a "Ghost" of it's former self.
Again, this game is not from Infinity Ward. Even if the development cycle hadn't changed, this would be a Treyarch release. This one's Sledgehammer though, as they're using 3 development teams now.
it matters little.
All the games are starting to feel the same. I dont even care who makes them. Just waiting for the price to drop so I can enjoy them. None of those titles is worth 60 bucks. I am saddened by all the folks who keep paying full price for mediocre gameplay. They ruin the industry.

Its not going to look like that picture.
Why did they even bother with switching to 3 studios/3 year dev cycles.
They have a large and growing user base already, by the time a pre teen grows up and leaves COD behind, another 10 will reach COD age and buy annual sequels anyway. They could have kept dev costs at bay with continuing the annual rehash, saved even more money by dropping PC and focusing on consoles.

That strategy worked out super swell for Guitar Hero.
Improving the quality of the franchise keeps it alive. Stagnant things rot and are tossed. Ghosts was also not growth for the franchise.
