Hm, bet if an anon called somewhere an idiot they'd be banned and/or post removed.

Anyways - original anon, this is a very bad idea. There's no need for them to tie in MW/BO stories to one another. Sure the picture in MW3 of the guy from BO was cool and neat, but I don't need it for my enjoyment to grow. More than likely, it was simply a picture file re-used by IW and the fact people noticed it and thought anything of it is beyond their control at this point. Moreover, (I do not believe WAW sold more than MW1) but here is how games go: MW2 > WAW, BO > MW2, MW3 > BO... so... BO2 > MW3 (in terms of initial sales if the trend continues).

COD is popular in and of itself. Each game surpasses the prior, no matter the dev or the quality or how well the stories tie together. To attempt to bridge BO/MW series' together would create a hassle and a headache with a lot of plot holes I am sure.

The ONLY way I can feasably see them tying the stories together is if somehow: after BO1 occurs, the entire MW series happens, then for some reason after USA wins WW3 the 2nd cold war breaks out between China/USA. I don't know how they could do it, but that's the only way it could make sense looking at it from a distance.
