For Treyarch, the battle for street cred has been continual - and uphill. The Santa Monica–based studio is constantly being compared to their fellow Activision developers across town at Infinity Ward, having been commissioned to produce follow-ups to both the original Call of Duty (the United Offensive expansion pack) and Call of Duty 2 (2006's Call of Duty 3).
Each time they've been penalized by the online community simply for not being Infinity Ward, despite the laudable critical and commercial success achieved by both of their aforementioned titles. Now they're being put behind the proverbial 8-ball again: Call of Duty: World at War not only has to live up to the 10-scoring, platinum-selling, Game of the Year–nominated, more-popular-online-than–Halo 3 success of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but it also has to do so back in World War II, a setting many thought the series left behind for good after Call of Duty 3.

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
A very devoted fan of Call of Duty: World at War racks up incredible in-game stats while playing regularly for the past 15 years.
Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.
