any 1 heard anything bout this ive heard some rumours but nothing much :D
Just weeks after the release of Call of Duty: World at War, Activision Blizzard takes yet another step in the Call of Duty series, officially announcing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which is to be released in the fall of 2009.
With this in mind, there is a strong possibility that the developers of the game will be Infinity Ward, who will most likely bring a version out for both the PC and console. This is a very smart move for Activision themselves, but it doesn't look too promising for the online Call of Duty community, who at the moment, are torn between the past and present, spanning actively in Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty: World at War.
This move could potentially kill the Call of Duty scene for good, if not, turn out to be a success for our online community if all parties decide to move onto this game. But as quoted by a user on the MTV Multiplayer web site, this could set the pace of a Call of Duty release each year as the user explains: "The naming convention of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 resulted in a chuckle from me. It is like Final Fantasy X-2. More importantly, who wants to bet that there will be a Call of Duty: World at War 2 now?".
Along with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, announcements were made for Guitar Hero 5, a new Tony Hawk game and a brand new racing title, all to be released later next year. No huge details were released for any of the games.
Infinity Ward is advising gamers to ignore any emails they receive which claim to be beta invites for Call of Duty 5: Modern Warfare 2 as the beta
According to Infinity Ward's Community Manager Robert Bowling (http://www.fourzerotwo.com/2009/01/11/beware-of-fake-cod5-beta-invites/) a new phishing scam has been set up under the guise and all beta invite are illegitimate and unofficial.
The emails are being sent out from Cod5beta@infinityward.com and are a word for word copy of the beta invites sent out for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, but with the 4 substituted for a 5. Clever, no?
The best thing to do if you do happen to get an email invite sent to you is "just delete it" according to Robert, who says Infinity Ward and Activision are fully aware of the scam.
Dispelling any rumours and making the whole issue a lot simpler, Robert also adds that there is currently no Call of Duty 5: Modern Warfare 2 beta running and that, if and when the beta does launch, you won't need an email to tell you because he'd be "shouting it from every internet rooftop".
Just to set the record straight:
The call of duty series is made by infinity ward.
However as infinity ward chose to move to the modern combat scene there was an opening for other spin off games. Although world at war is in the series its not from the original developer infinity ward.
The next in the line of games for the official call of duty series is call of duty 5 modern warfare 2.
I would not be surprised if there will be one or two new COD games a year.
Mooooooooooo cash cow
i just hope its as good as the 1st one :D
