Infinity Ward's CEO, Vince Zampella, in an interview with Official Playstation Magazine stated that Activision held the developer back from creating a "Modern Warfare" type game since Call of Duty 2. Even when it came time for Call of Duty 4, Zampella claimed their publisher was still reluctant to move away from the World War II safe zone.

Direct quote:

"With Call of Duty 2, we were dead set against it being World War 2, but Activision really wanted it, the compromise sort of being that we'd get some dev kits for consoles in exchange for doing a World War 2 game. We always wanted to be on consoles and Activision saw us as more of a PC developer."
