Infinity Ward is still technically with Activision but the two leads got fired, started up a new company, and then 30+ people quit working at Infinity Ward and about half of them are already hired at the new company that was formed. @Tommy8754, this prediction somewhat already came true.

Plus, Treyarch (In my opinion) isn't as good as IW and it is making IW look bad because it goes WWII, WWII, WWII, MW(YEAH), WWII(WTF!!), MW(HELLZ YEA) but I think that IW should stay, I think they need Activisions help I think that Infinity Ward should leave, that would make me very very happy, I think that IW could make better looking and feeling games and I have a feeling that MW3 will be IW only.

Having their biggest developer choose to go independent would almost kill them instantly, forcing them to go in new and untested directions, basically sending the entire company back to square 1 (think: instead of Spider-man 3 and Spider-man:Web of Shadows, we would have games that were as fun as Spider-man 2, minus for the balloon fetch quests) Infinity Ward, if you are reading this comment, I am almost certain that I can speak for most gamers when I say "Viva la revolution!"

If IW want to do a different game then this new studio will work alongside Treyarch to keep the COD series rolling out every year.

By Activision though. Because IW was good and Treyarch was decent and now they're having a third team? I want them to just make a game called 'Call of Duty Muliplayer' and it just the multiplayer game which includes ALL (including DLC) maps in all previous Call of Duty games and they release maps every 3 months. Because I really don't care about the story any more! And most people will agree that they only play the story because its there and they won't play it again after they've completed it. And Spec Ops is all right but I could easily live without it and Nazi Zombies, well I could (which I did) just buy Left 4 Dead 2 instead. But if they make a decent story then the arcade mode is a very good addition. COD is a franchise being milked to death! By Activision though.
