It was my understanding that the Modern Warfare series was trying to branch out on it's own (hence dropping the "CoD" title when it was announced). If I'm correct, IW will still produce MW3 and Sledgehammer will have CoD8. Of course that's just wishful thinking. BTW, West and Zampella were fired from IW. :(
