Activision CEO, president and director, Bobby Kotick, has said he expects this year's Call of Duty: Black Ops from Treyarch to surprise the franchise's fan base.
Commenting on the future of the franchise, Kotick said: "As a preview into this exciting future, expect additional exciting content for Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops that will surprise our millions of players."

Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.

Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."
In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.
To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7
Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD
Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.
But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.
The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:
Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.
They didn't.
Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.
Yes, Because it'll probably use the same engine from the last 3 entries of the franchise in the last 3 or so years as made by Infinity Ward, and have exactly the same overhyped multiplayer packed with it.
Hahaha, the only one that would be surprised would be Bobby Kotick who in turn will find out this game will not sell as great as the previous installments.
If NOT, then I have lost all hope for the gaming community.
-End statement
No one's gonna be surprised Kotick. We're all anticipating it be generic with an outrageously stupid collectors edition and possibly online subscription.
I don't why this guy even speaks. Shut up and count your money.
I need to plug Kotick from spewing this BS around town.
