Call Of Duty 6 Becomes Modern Warfare 2, And Gets A Release Date
Mark your calendars boys and girls for November 10th, 2009!
I’ve blogged a few times about my love of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and I have to say my love for this game hasn’t diminished one bit in the 13+ months I’ve had it. The only time it has left my Xbox 360 was to give Gears of War 2 a spin, and… well… I’ve sold that off and I’m back to good old CoD 4. I did give Call of Duty: World at War (notice they dropped the numbering) a spin via its demo, and while it was cool to hear Keifer Sutherland barking orders at you, using World War II weapons just didn’t do it for me.
So, back in the world of CoD 4, I had heard rumors the next version of the game would be back to the modern age, but it was just the usual rumors that floated around. Then this week the gaming community finally got the confirmation we wanted.
I have to admit this is about the oddest promo video I’ve ever seen as it reveals, well, pretty much nothing,but at least we know Modern Warfare 2 will be out on November 10th, 2009. And, yes, they have completely dropped the Call of Duty name from the title, apparently they think “Modern Warfare” became enough of a brand on is own.
Hopefully I’m not getting my hopes up to high for this game. The last time I fell in love with a game like this was SOCOM II: U.S. Navy Seals on the Playstation 2, and when SOCOM III came about it, well, to be blunt, it sucked. They over complicated things by adding vehicles, making the maps too big, making things so the snipers were way over favored, etc. I couldn’t stand the game. I am hoping beyond all hope the same fate doesn’t befall Modern Warfare 2.
My fingers are crossed, and I will be waiting patiently on November 10th… okay, maybe not “patiently” for Modern Warfare 2 to rock my socks off… oh please rock my socks off!

Modern Warfare 2 Teaser Footage - SeanPAune.com | May 11th, 2009 at 12:12 am #
[...] You know a video game is going to be huge when not only is there going to be a video footage premiere on May 24th on TNT during the NBA Eastern Conference finals, but when they release a teaser to the teaser. I definitely count myself amongst the most excited people on the face of the planet waiting for this game, but even I think this is going a bit far in the early hyperbole. For crying out loud, we already had the teaser for when they just announced it would only be called Modern Warfare 2! [...]

” I am hoping beyond all hope the same fate doesn’t befall Modern Warfare 2."
If this were a Treyarch production, I would worry too – but Infinity Ward has done all the good COD work since the originals, so I’m confident we’ll like what’s coming.

I\\'m fairly confident that it will be good also, but I don\\'t want to jinx us!
