You Think You Want a CoD4 Remake, But You Don’t – Treyarch
It goes without saying that the Call of Duty franchise has millions of players who play online, 0ver 30 million, to be more accurate. With as much praise as these developers are receiving for building such a popular game, there is most likely an equal if not greater amount of criticism they must face every day. With this many CoD fans, there is bound to be more than a few who are likely to share what they think the game should be like, legitimate or not, in an extremely vocal matter, negative or positive. Vonderhaar, who recently directed last year’s Black Ops, admits that when building a CoD game, it takes much more than just implementing what the fans want.
Vonderhaar put it very nicely while quoting Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Simply put, fans don’t always know exactly what they want. It’s the job of developers to figure out precisely what they are trying to express. Vonderhaar states, “I always ask you what you want and the problems you have so I can always put in context. And I always will.” He continued, “if we aren’t trying every day to give you the thing you don’t yet know you want, then I don’t deserve this job.” It sounds like a daunting task, but Vonderhaar believes in innovation.
If we are to be completely honest here, we know what a good number of Call of Duty fans always “say” they want the “next” CoD to be like: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. “COD4 was a great game; we stand on the shoulders of giants. Some of you want to relive that,” said Vonderhaar. However, he truthfully added that “it would be neither innovation or evolution.” It can be speculated that the reason why fans request such a thing is because for many, CoD4 was their “first” CoD experience. Your first experience in almost anything tends to be the most memorable. However, Voderhaar reminds us that “you can make new ‘firsts’ and if don’t go for that as hard as possible then we shouldn’t be here.”

Treyarc Y U MAKE COD?
The reason why they make CoD is because they are good at making CoD.
At least they don't copy and paste their games like Infinity Ward has done with all their CoDs.
Black Ops was good, in my opinion. In you're opinion, it wasn't. That's ok because that's life. We'll all get over each others opinion's.
No bro, it's a fact that Black Ops was a bad game.
Much agreed

"Thing you don't yet know you want," really? He acts as if he knows what we want. Call of Duty 4 wasn't my first COD game, but it's the best game in the entire series. Sure it had it's cons like spawns and so forth but overall? Every perk individually outweighed a perk other(s) disliked, for instance Juggernaut was eliminated if you used stopping power and vice versa. The guns were all balanced but that's my opinion, others may have different views. I do however believe it's the best game in the series, but to "remake" it would be a horrible idea. They just need to update it, the servers. Patch the mods, and possibly create something to make it appealing to their audience that wants a "remake."
