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.”

Wow, Well that just goes to show us Vonderhaar isn't listen to a word the community is saying. Trying to Say What we want Isn't Really what we want, i guess that's why Black ops was such a failure.
That's very Reassuring to know he is working on our next CoD, Yeah... the sarcasm was intended.

He's wrong. What we KNOW we want is a multiplayer that isnt just copied straight from the last game!

cyimking12 mw3 is a remake of mw2 with updates, mw2 is a remake of cod4 with updates. Only reason why people say that black ops sucks was because they played it too long. Just like people will say mw3 sucks by august of next year.
Well no, treyarch is worse than IW at multiplayer aspects to games. They have even admitted it

You guys are stupid if you ask for another cod4 because all call of duty's have the same gameplay style, so new cod4 = cod5 with dif stuff, then to mw2 with even more dif stuff, and black ops wth dif stuff, and mw3 with even MORE dif stuff. and a call of duty zombie game is out of the question seriously , stop being dumb im out (dont correct my spelling.)

D34th_Maker yeah a lot of people want a new cod4 and more like cod4 better than any but to be honest Treyarch is really only memorable for their zombies so if you would ask me i say lets have Treyarch make a Call of Duty: ZombiesThere is a game called Call of Duty: Zombies...its for ipod jk lol but ya it would be pretty cool to do that but the thing is there is not enough time between CODS to do this
