Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling has said that the studio may go off and do something else once Modern Warfare 2 is out of the way.
"Once this is done, maybe we'll see about doing something new. If we do want to do something else, then we will do it. We don't feel tied to making Call of Duty games," Bowling told Develop (thanks Kotaku).
"We still make Call of Duty games because we're having fun doing it. And when it stops being fun, we'll move onto something else."
Whatever Infinity Ward ends up doing next (apart from riding around on golden superyachts doing handstands), it won't be a Wii version of Modern Warfare 2.
"If we felt like we could deliver the cinematic experience we were going for on other platforms, then we would gladly move to that platform," he explained.
"Right now, we don't think the Wii can deliver the exact experience that we're doing. We like to be very equal across all platforms, and if it's not equal then we won't do it."
Don't worry though, Wii fans. Infinity Ward might not be up for it, but there's every chance publisher Activision will be judging by its decision to have Treyarch port the original Modern Warfare to Wii.
That Wii port and Modern Warfare 2 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 are all due out next Tuesday, 10th November.

"Once this is done, maybe we'll see about doing something new."
Mmm. Modern Warfare 3? As if Activision will alloy them to drop off Call Of Duty development. And even if they will, this new game (published not by Activision - that's for sure) won't sell nearly as good as Call Of Duty no matter how good and innovative it will be. Most buyers simply don't know shit about developers like Infinity Ward or Treyarch - they (we?) care about title and sometimes publisher.

Not a huge deal about the Wii. It may just be my friends, but nobody who owns a Wii and a (proper) console would go for the Wii version. And most who only own a Wii are generally casual gamers, and thats fine. It just means the COD franchise isn't top of their christmas list.

How very unlike the Activision of today for IW staff to say, wonder if they'll stay together or go their seperate ways at some point in the future.

I feel sorry for Treyarch, Activision are like a parent who treats IW as the golden child while Treyarch is the runt sibling who gets locked in the cupboard and only let out when some dirty work needs doing.

"32 player online or no buy simple 16 is crap and 8 a joke and wii MW is only getting six!"
I don't know. Number of players says nothing imo. We only play TH which is 6vs6 and it's the best mode in the game imo. GoW only had 4vs4 and it was brilliant as well. Then again, Frontlines had 32vs32 (and higher) and that was awesome as well. |

It would be good for the do something different, yeah. Otherwise they're going to be the Call Of Duty guys forever. These guys have to proven to be excellent interactive storytellers, and they aren't afraid to try something fresh or downright controversial, and war stories don't exactly allow a lot of room to play with that.
I'd be interested to see what they would do with it. After MW2 i'm not going to be interested in another Call of Duty that much. It had a great run, time to leave it. |

IW are very talented and I'd be interested to see what they do after CoD.
See? I made an entire post in a MW2 article without mentioning the whole dedica-ah shit. |

"We still make Call of Duty games because we're having fun doing it."
Im sure the fat Activision cheque from the unreasonably inflated price point helps too. Don't give a damn if your next game is gaming heaven... if 'Wallet-Rape-ivision' publish it, you can both fuck off. |
