Right, I did some research on this and I shall try to clear it up.

Infinity Ward are stepping back from the Modern Warfare series, which shall be taken on by Sledgehammer Games. So you say it'll screw the series up, but Sledgehammer games is an offshoot of Infinity Ward, therefore probably using a lot of expertise and staff from the previous incarnations of the series.

This was rumoured in the Playstation Official Magazine a little while ago and i dug a little deeper and came up with this stuff. I would like to point out that a similar situation happened with the Metroid games, with the series being handed over to Retro Studios. Little heard of and an offshoot of Nintendo's large, large tree, Retro Studios took the game and created and unbelievablely good triology in the Prime series.

Now, everyone sit tight and i'm sure you shan't be disappointed. :)
