@welshbloke,
Yes, CoD4 is being developed by Infinity Ward, the makers of the first 2 games, not CoD3 developer Treyarch. I have both 2 and 3 and 2 is much better IMO, and I'm pretty sure many other people agree.
Now that is a damn fine trailer... Much improved over the previous trailers. This certainly looks to be a huge game that will put the COD franchise back on the map in a big way.
I personally thought they peaked at 2 but this looks the mutz nutz. I know 3 used another dev team, so is this one by the orginal cod 1 and 2 developers?
i think a lot of people are forgetting what this game is going up against. many fans of the COD series enjoy it purely for online play ... now what will Xbox360 owners be playing online when this comes out? COD or Halo 3?
I think it is wrong to compare the COD2 sell through with COD4 based on sales at the time of the 360 release.
COD4 has 2 things going for it in my opinion which will lend itself to outselling its predecessors.
1. No longer WWII
2. The userbase is increasing.
This game is already generating a reasonable buzz around it and certainly everything I have seen to date would lead me to think this will be a big seller especially on the Xbox and PC markets.
