[edit] Call of Duty success
Infinity Ward's first title, Call of Duty, won over 80 Game of the Year awards[1] and 47 Editor's Choice Awards[2]. The sequel, Call of Duty 2 for the Xbox 360 and PC has sold more than one million units in the U.S. alone[3]. In addition, Call of Duty 2 was the first Xbox 360 title to sell one million copies in the United States[3]. It continues to be among the highest-rated games for the platform, according to Game Rankings.[4] Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare also has a massive commercial and critical success, selling over a combined 10 million copies as of January 25, 2008[5] and received 95.3 out of 100 for Xbox 360 and PS3 on Gamerankings. The PC version earned a 93 out of 100. Call of Duty: United Offensive was developed by Gray Matter Interactive which later merged into Treyarch, the company who developed Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Call of Duty 3. Treyarch will develop Call of Duty 5 as well. However, some sources have reported that Infinity Ward may have renegotiated their contract with Activision so that the studio would be the sole developer of the FPS series beyond Call of Duty 5. [6]
