Call of Duty is putting an end to back-to-back releases of games in the same subfranchise. However, it might be high time for the whole series to stop its annual launches, because the fatigue is getting severe.
Call of Duty has followed a yearly release structure basically since its inception. Initially, it'd launch a game, then an expansion pack the next year, but that quickly turned into annual title releases, alternating between Treyarch and Infinity Ward (and later other studios like Sledgehammer). Essentially, there hasn't been a single year since around 2005 that we haven't had a Call of Duty game in the schedule.
