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.”

HuricainxXopticsXxPichu-no they missed the stoping point at mw2..black ops was horrible they should have stopped awhile ago-Frostbite- We don't want another call of duty.

I agree, I wish they would just stop it here with MW3 and could stick with it, instead of a new one each year.
Yea black ops was great and they actually took care of it, you must have just been bad at it..
Only because you was **** at it

redevil22-Harrisontriksta2k11Cent He says they know what we want, yet Black Ops was a massive disappointment.
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
I declared war, You say Treyarch is the worst Cod creator ever yet their next Cod will out sell Mw3!

My first CoD game was Call Of Duty 2, and that was the fairest CoD game to date, and not one person that actually played it for it's full life can say that it wasn't.... CoD4 was amazing but it also had it's flaws, it's just that some people like to forget that there were... CoD4 would be cool to see remade but like Vonderhaar said it wouldn't be as innovative or evolutionary as the original...
