User blog comment:Flamesword300/Could Treyarchs 2015 COD be a WW2 game? I think so/@comment-1187559-20140630092625

It's not really any pattern emerging in all honesty. Just because Ghosts was semi-present (it was closer to near future) and Advanced Warfare is set in the future doesn't really mean Treyarch will, or have to, make a game set in past. If there was any form of pattern than Modern Warfare 1 shouldn't even exist given their first two games were WW2 ones. And as Raven says, this is an old lawsuit, which I don't think even did anything to the series. Black Ops 2 was very successful for Treyarch, and the studios prefer making their games outside of real world constraints of what 'did happen. Making a WW2 game, as fun as it can be will always be the same because it's a historical event. Unlike CoD 4 where you get a huge shocker as your unit is killed by a nuke, or in BO2 where you get caught off guard as you discover one of your soldiers is a double agent WW2 is set. And if you have any understanding of history aside from just the simple fact the allies won, then you'll know how every scenario plays out, and it's almost like playing the game with spoilers.

But aside from all this, I doubt Treyarch will make another WW2 game. I think they prefer the era they're in. Perhaps they might return to the cold war era, but I don't think they have any real intention of going back to WW2.
