Quoting Cliff_Forster

Call of Duty 4, immensely popular, and a damn fine game, and a community driven online shooter experience. Call of Duty World at War, released exactly one year after 4, while 4 was still immensely popular and had a huge community (I think it was still the most played game on XBL, and it was #2 on PC behind WOW).

Are we saying the Call of Duty 4 community should be crying a river over the fact that World at War probably split part of their community??

A) Two different dev teams make up competing Call of Duty streams - Treyarch and Infinity Ward. IW makes the Modern Warfare series, which can easily be considered a different game series compared to the WWII-centric Treyarch-developed Call of Duty 3/World at War/etc. B) Due to the differences in game dynamic (WWII vs Modern Warfare), the audiences for the games are very segregated - those that like WWII gaming like WaW, those that don't like MW.
