User blog comment:Argorrath/Activision confirms next Call of Duty for this year/@comment-5960038-20130208035948/@comment-4778612-20130208053221

" Start with something fresh, new, ACCTUALLY INNOVATIVE" 100% Guaranteed not going to happen. Why? When CoD4 came out, it REVOLUTIONISED the FPS genre in it's time. IW took the HUGE gamble to rebuild the gameplay mechanics from the ground up and risk alienating it's own fanbase. Ever since, CoD has been a multi-billion dollar franchise. Do you really think that a company like Activision is going to risk their entire fanbase (and supply of money) to allow devs to rebuild the gameplay mechanics? They could risk killing the franchise. To be honest, I highly doubt Activision would allow to risk it's biggest franchise. My prediction is they'll just milk CoD until the miserable end.
