*ugh*  Hopefully, it's a team that will be dedicated to working on Wii iterations while Infinity Ward and Treyarch work on the 360 and PS3 stuff.  I think it would vastly help improve the quality of the Wii games (although World at War wasn't terrible by any means). 
 
Also, this should be on either the Activision or Call of Duty (franchise) forums.

My prediction:  treyarch and the new guys will alternate, doing CoD every year. IW will entirely separate themselves from the CoD name and keep doing their own thing, either more MW or develope new IPs.

dang that is going to be crazy to have three teams make a call of duty game. it would be horrible to have three teams make a call of duty game, like now treyarch is going to make another one and now this other team is going to make one after them.

Does Bobby realise what he's doing? Milking is one thing, but is beyond milking. This is... super milking!  
 
Mark my words, in six years' time, 1/3 of developers will be under Activision's command, releasing a new Call of Duty every month.
 
...mark my words!

I hope this leads to IW saying fuck you Activision and then leaving.

I'm wondering if Activision is thinking MW is more powerful than COD, namewise, so they want a new studio to make every other MW game now. I wouldn't put it past them.

" I hope this leads to IW saying fuck you Activision and then leaving. "

There should just be IW making "Call of Duty" games (I don't really mean that, modern warfare isn't even really Call of Duty anymore, it's its own great new franchise) because the IW games have been the only ones I've ever been interested in (I've played the shit out of COD1, COD2, COD4 and now just got MW2, only played the Treyarch games round a friend's house and thought they were pants).
 
If Activision wants to get a third team in there it would be best if they set them to work on the Wii versions of Treyarch and IW's games so they'd be the best they could be.

" My prediction:  treyarch and the new guys will alternate, doing CoD every year. IW will entirely separate themselves from the CoD name and keep doing their own thing, either more MW or develope new IPs. "

I'm pretty sure this step is a direct reaction to MW2's success, and as such, the new team will be tasked with making sure there's a MW game every year. IW will never get its own IP, because anything they work on will become so successful that Activision will want a yearly iteration.

Activision is determined to run all of it's popular franchises into the ground. Once a year is even kind of pushing it, anything more and you are gonna wear out the precious hype that gave MW2 its huge numbers.

Maybe they're setting up a third studio for Wii / DS Call of Duty games. Just a thought. Maybe a whole new game, and each developer has more time to release their game. Like Treyarch next year, IW the year after, and finally this new developer?
 
Maybe the studio is working on downloadble content or something.

IW should be their own publishers. God knows they have enough money. "

I wouldn't be surprised if the next Modern Warfare really does have a Kotick troll following you around...
 
This news makes me go "sigh" but, at the same time, if this new developer will be making games like World at War (which I was not a fan of), then I won't support them. However, that really doesn't matter because they will be raking in millions no matter what with every game they release now....why have we become like this?
