I'm thinking most likely a World War 2 era Call of Duty. Here's why I think it will happen.
1. The way Black Ops 2 was with player choice to do certain stuff to alter the endings kind of ends the series. I highly doubt they will make a continuation considering that you can kill David's dad, Woods, and Harper. Not to mention either ending you do Menendez will end up dieing, whether you capture or kill him. I don't think they will introduce a new villain. Everything just seems right to end the story there.
2. Neither developer has made a WW2 since 2008. We know there will be a Ghosts sequel in 2016. I am pretty sure Sledgehammer is making MW4 considering all the leaked rumors and the fact that they helped with MW3 leads me to believe it even more.
3. They have new and stronger technology to work with. Given the power of both the XboxONE and PS4, they could really show off the power of the new systems during World War 2.
4. I think the fans in general are getting bored with modern era Call of Duty's. There's been MW2, BO, MW3, BO2, Ghosts, and MW4 to come. People want something to freshen up the game again.
5. Black Ops 3 seems unlikely, unless they make the campaign in a way where you can continue a ending you did in Black Ops 2 and make a whole storyline for that ending. I don't think so though, It'd be to much work to make a new story with every ending. A prequel, not even in 100 years.
6. If you complete zombies in Origins, you trigger a demo by sending a Maxis drone up the portal. In this demo you see Samantha playing with some zombie toys and characters. At one point you hear a alarm. I saw a video on YouTube where a guy explains what he thinks is going on in that demo. He said that certain alarm is from World War 2. ZOMBIE SPOILER! ZOMBIE SPOILER! For those of you who don't know or care about zombies, it's pretty much all happening in Samantha's head. That guy further explains that the zombies is actually happening for real where she is during that time. This further proves that it will be during World War 2.
This is what I think will happen. Let me know what you guys think. Thank You.

2016: Infinity Ward (Not the real one) unleash Call of Duty: Ghost Trap Team
Activision spend early 2016 promising an exciting and innovative CoD ‘’for realsies this time’’. The gaming world shrugs its collective shoulders and says ‘’yeah, okay mate’’. Scrapping the F2P/Sub hybrid model that was totally Treyarch’s fault, Infinity Ward’s latest entry is a reboot of the much-maligned Ghosts, but in a novel, never before seen twist, you can buy physical versions of guns and place them in a specially made stock to download them into your game. Once again, fans blow their tops at the sheer cheek of being asked to fork out $10 for each gun (a thirty-five gun set!) to unlock anything better than a slingshot and plan a mass protest. The protest ends up being six people in a Chinese restaurant and Ghost Trap Team sells twice as many hotcakes than normal. As before, no actual ghosts are in the game, just the ghost of a studio
