After the announcement earlier this week that Treyarch had already begun production on Call of Duty "7", Infinity Ward released a statement that once again overshadowed any potential success that Treyarch had hoped to get with this release:

"After many long nights of round table idea chucking, we are happy to announce that production has begun on Call of Duty 8. Even though we are still working on Modern Warfare 2, we felt the need to introduce the next epic release in this series to the public."

The statement went on to denounce any potential claims that they are trying to steal Treyarch's thunder:

"We've only recently found out that Call of Duty 7 was in the works, and we wish Treyarch the best of luck. We are sure there are still some people that need a World War 2 fix somewhere in the world."

The statement concluded with a brief glimpse of what to expect:

"We have totally dropped the whole modern theme and we are looking to the future. You can expect Call of Duty 8 to reflect all the latest technological theories and advancements. We are taking warfare from the battlefield to the body. No one is safe. No one."

Upon contact, a spokesman for Treyarch only had this to say: "They are getting ahead of themselves. They should first worry about part 6 not sucking."
