Huge rumor flying around that Infinity Wards next title will be a MMO genre. No word yet whether this is true or not, but they are definitely hiring ex-MMO developers from companies such as Sony's EverQuest 2 and Blizzard.

    MMO market is starting to become saturated. Plus WOW is still a huge huge huge competitor. Nearly all new MMOS die because of it unless there free.

    Although IW and COD has the selling power and reputation to make it. Lets see how it goes.

      As long as it isn't something weird as shit (like an FPS MMO... wtf?)

        I don't think CoD can work as anything else can it? The Call of Duty MMORPG, where you run around doing quests for Sergeant Azeroth with your custom Night Elf Noob Tube class. CoD just won't work as an MMOFPS or RPG. RPG suits fantasy far too much and FPS MMO's just don't work full stop.

        FPSMMO would not be weird. there are several FPSRPGs now and they work just fine. it would be no different. of course it might have to be strictly PvE though....though wouldnt be much fun to not be a Marine or SAS soldier i would think.

        Didn't they also make an announcment recently about giving MW3 to another developer and moving away from COD? If so, I highly doubt this will be a COD MMO.

          with how popular it is, why on earth would they do something like that?

          There was a thread posted about it in the MW2 forum is memory serves, in an interview with a certain magazine they said something long the lines. Although I only skimmed over it and the thread so I may well of completely got the wrong picture.

      True, but I think they'd be stupid to quit making CoDs right now, with all the cash and publicity it makes everyday.
