Infinity Ward vs. Treyarch

In my opinion I think Treyarch makes better CoD games because they tend to take a more serious and realistic route in development while IW seems to make sure their games are 100% unbelievable and frustrating.

Treyarch is a bad dev that can only make a decent game by riding on someone's coattails

They are the luckiest dev around, they're unable to do anything on their own and got to piggyback on Infinity Ward. Now with the whole Activision is evil mess they get to use everything Infinity Ward made to make another sub par game that's only redeeming quality will be the work other people did.

THey completely suck at storytelling and have to resort to cheap gimmicks like zombies to make people forget about the horrible story they just played through

I liked IW until they made MW2 and ruined CoD. Teryarch only copies what IW does but they seem to be trying with the new one, not that it matters to me, I'm done with CoD.

First i liked infinity ward but for know i like treyarch.

Stupid MW2...

Treyarch Sucks, TC you do realize that Call of Duty is IW's. Treyarch just uses IW tools to make their Call of Duty games. They copy and paste thats it. I hope the Call of Duty franchise fails without IW and I hope Activision burns to the ground while Bobby dueschbag is in it lol.

how could you compare the creators of a game with the guys that only take others work and make new games

Infinity Ward...because Treyarch is just building upon what IW has already created.

I really like both of them. My favortite entries from the two developers are CoD2:Big Red One on PS2 from Treyarch, and CoD: MW2 from Infinity Ward.

I loved Big Red One because the campaign was so incredble. And I loved the characters. I was sad when they died, and it was great to feel that kind of connection to those characters. I love Infinity Ward cuase their Multiplayer is really fun.

Cod 2 and 4 were terrific games so I vote for Infy, even though MW2 was garbage :P.

I liked the IW versions more..but i've given up on CoD...and most FPS's in general..

Treyarch only uses the tools IW gave them to create carbon-copy cash ins for activision. They can't program veteran difficulty if their life depended on it and rely on the oldest tricks in the book to make their games hard.

It's funny that some of these posts are just saying that Treyarch copied what IW had done, and that the Story was garbage.

1. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Plus, Treyarch added the "Brutality of War". A first for any Call of Duty.

2. If sneaking through a ruined Stalingrad, nearly getting burned to death, and making one of the most dramatic escapes I have ever seen in CoD, is garbage to you, you really need to re-evaluate your priorities as a gamer.

Oh, and a 4 Player Co-op, and 4 Player Zombies mode will always top the Stale, feels-like-a-last-second-addition taste that is 2 Player Spec Ops.

I liked both, but now that Infinity Ward has lost their big players, I don't know if I'll ever like they're stuff again. Treyarch is a great developer, but I wish they wouldn't sell out and become the Call of Duty studio. I'd like to see some new IPs from them.

After seeing the spawn system in MW2 I vote for Treyarch.

WaW for me is the best COD so far, thanks mainly to Nazi Zombies and the really compelling single player.

Funny thing is, you're all ripping on Treyarch, saying they are rubbish and all, but the majority of you haters will probably buy it regardless....

Oh and I Like Both Developers :)

I believe that both devs are subpar at best. CoD2 was amazing, CoD MW2, horrible. World at War was only played for Nazi Zombies. But if I had to pick I'd say IW is alittle better.

neither

infinity ward ftw imo.

sehr gut modern warfare....

yay for treyarch :D

although it's not very original >_> ( they really should take some risks) they still take what they are given and build off of that, making it better :)

W@W was well done, fun modes, and they realize the importance of split screen co-op full campaign..

when we want co-op we don't want any lame seperate spec ops level -__-

Call of duty WaW sucked. Call of duty 4 was the best call of duty game in the series. Infinity Wards is better I think treyarch should start on something new.

After playing WaW I am not buying a call of duty game made by treyarch. You have my word.

When Black Ops comes out we should all protest in front of Treyarch HQ for more oringenal CoDs.

I wish I had playd CoD 4 when I had the chance, I got WaW instead.:cry:

I agree with you, MW2 didn't have a story.

I usually say Treyarch sucks, but after seeing the trailer for Black Ops I think it could turn out being a better game than Modern Warfare 2.

If you would've asked me this question a year ago I would've said IW but MW2 made Darkest of Days look like gold which is why I'm voting for Treyarch. Sure they usually take the back seat and usually just copy IW but after the Black Ops trailer it finally looks like Treyarch is trying to 1up IW instead of release a game that just passes the time until the next IW game.

I can'tbelievehow many still voted for infinity ward.. after they backstabbed the pc community gave us a HORRIBLE mw sequal, ruined the gaming community with little kids, ignorant gamers, and fan boys...

you only despiseTreyarch because they are hopping along in the band wagon with infinity ward and activision

at least Treyarch isn't afraid to try something new beyond the typicall military fps. Web of shadows for example, it didnt receive high scores but still it was a bit innovative and better then past spider man games, so kudos for them!

all infinity ward ever made was COD, COD, COD , COD...

nothing new. talk about who's the one that can't come up with anything new

Treyarch is decent, they don't seem as greedy as Infinity Ward but Infinity Ward makes the better game. We will see if that stays true with Black Ops though.

:lol: Oh, please do explain how it's Infinity Ward's fault that xbox live has a lot of annoying people.

Infinity Ward= COD1, COD2, COD4, MW2

Treyarch=COD3, WAW, Black Ops (to be released)

I say a tie.

even though activision is basically ruining every reason I love gaming, im going with Infinity. Why they though we need 300 Guitar heroes and a CoD every year is beyond me. Trust me MW2 has all the potential to make a great game, but 2 years isn't enough to make a sequal to a Masterpiece

I always thought that treyarch was good because CoD WaW was AMAZING! and i liked Infinity Ward because of CoDMW1, but now i like treyarch better because MW2 was Infinity Wards Biggest Fail

For a cheap gimmick, I have played the zombie mode a hell of a lot more than any other mode in any Call of Duty title ever, and I've played them all. Before Modern Warfare 2, I would have easily listed Infinity Ward as my favorite developer for Call of Duty games. Seeing as how MW2 doesn't even warrant a purchase, I change my vote to Treyarch. Funny that you say Treyarch's Call of Duty's have the "horrible story", because that's exactly what I was thinking about Call of Duty 2, Modern Warfare, and especially Modern Warfare 2. Then again, who really plays Call of Duty for the story? At least Treyarch isn't afraid to include some awesome gore in their games.

Why is this still doing the rounds on the xbox360 forum!!

INFINITY WARD IS THE SUPERIOR. PERIOD.

It was the original and best without it Call of Duty wouldn't even exist and if ANYONE disagrees with me compare IW and Treyarchs Call of Duty reviews and thats my come back. Or would you like another come back compare their game sales... LOLOLOL at all you treyarch lovers. ZINGGG. OUCH!!

Not to mention treyach leeches all its ideas from IW... don't even get me started on that.

So stop arguing about stupid topics like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:evil:

People fault Trey for COD3 being mediocre but look, they developed it for everything, no PC developement for that title and 360, and PS2 and Xbox development all at the same time, that might have had an effect as they didn't go all out with the new 360 hardware.

But the games they made last gen were good, some decent sports games and at the time, one of the few good movie-tie ins of last gen, Spider Man 2.

With WAW they made COD multiplayer more balanced, story more realistic with more elements like Horror, added Co-Op and zombie mode, and did it all very well and sold 12 million copies

Treyarch didn't ruin MW2's multiplayer, until COD:BO comes out we don't know that they will continue this way, but they have been vocal about changing things from MW2, namely i hope they ditch scavenger or make it less useful, since noob tubers just replenish their g'nades, and hopefully BO won't have as many balancing issues as MW2

IW made one solid 360 title in COD4, and to me they ruined MW2. Just IMO of course
