While it will be a couple years until the next entry by Infinity Ward launches, Activision promises plenty of DLC in the meantime.

During the recent Activision Blizzard analyst day, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith commented that Call of Duty 6 will in fact be coming out in 2010. While previous statements by Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick indicated a 2009 release, his counterpart said that "for calendar year 2010, Infinity Ward is already at work on the next installment in the franchise."

As a compensation for this delay of the next full release, Call of Duty: World at War due out this Fall will have more DLC, including a way to accelerate in game character experience with what is called "Day 1 Advantage."

"The average Call of Duty player has spent five full 24-hour days playing online," said Griffith. "And over time, we'll find ways to increase the monetization of this opportunity."
