Infinity ward was the main developer for the CoD series and developed the more successful CoD 2, 4 and MW2. They are different games due to the developers being different and this is why WaW had a different feel than MW.
As of now, around 30 employees of Infinity Ward left and have basically gone away from Activision, which means that Treyarch will most likely become the main developer for the CoD series with Infinity ward maybe not doing any more CoD games. MW3 is definitely not going to happen.
Hmm where did I state that IW is behind em all? The games hardly vary from the formula as COD 1 and 2 are virtually the same, COD 3 took what was done in COD 2 and only added vehicles, and even in COD WaW it was essentially COD 4 reskinned with obvious differences but gameplay essentially the same. It was only in the PS2, XBOX and PSP versions of COD that there was a switch in the formula but only because the hardware was so limited. This series has spawned so many titles from different developers like spark unlimited, Grey Matter, and Treyarch that its just become mind boggling. It is apart of what Activision envisioned and why IW lead developers left, the series was to be exploited and milked.
The only title in the series that I last enjoyed was COD:UO (gray matter) as it brought in more varied gameplay and actual use of vehicles rather to MP then just being there to kill infantry (unlike WaW). These latest games shows a heavy hand from Activision as to how scared the Publisher has been in letting IW branch out, hell they were against COD4 being set in modern times.
Who's to say they wont do mw3? Its Activision! they ran the guitar hero games into the ground and now are banking on cod series to save them (van halen sold 90k units in North America). This is not me saying they will make MW3 but I wouldn't put it passed Activision to put the game out by shifting developers (as they are doing now with Black Ops as Spark Unlimited had been assigned to work on map packs for the game black ops freeing up treyarch)
