Modern Warfare 2

Gotta share the love for other fun games? Post about them here!

It's been a little over a month since Activision Blizzard announced CoD 6, which is moving away from WWII (hopefully for good) and returning to the battlefield set forth in CoD 4.

Modern Warfare 2 is expected to be released in Q4 of this year, and not much is known at this time.

I for one am looking forward to this game, as I thoroughly enjoyed CoD 4, in fact I may go as far as to say it's the best FPS I've played since Goldeneye. Cod 5 was a good game, but it lacked in quality compared to CoD 4, then again it was handled by Treyarch, and I feel that CoD 5 was their best contribution to the series. Regardless, it's a relief that Infinity Ward is handling CoD 6.

Thoughts?

Yeah, CoD 4 is the best in the series imo, so I can't wait for whatever IW has in store for us in Modern Warfare 2.

Teaser trailer for Modern Warfare 2 was revealed at GDC, you can see it here:

Also, Infinity Ward is dropping the Call of Duty prefix, which means the game's official title is simply Modern Warfare 2, the reasoning is that because CoD 4 sold so well, they want to make the modern installments a separate entity. It's also been strongly hinted that another reason this is being done is so that other Activision-Blizzard devs (read: Treyarch) cannot make their own Modern Warfare installments.

Yeah, I can understand why they'd do this. Even though Call of Duty was originally their series, it's been raped by so many different developers, I don't even remember all the different devs that have pumped out a CoD game, and the only ones I've ever liked were the ones developed by Infinity Ward, except for United Offensive (the expansion pack for the 1st one) and CoD 5.

I can't wait for Modern Warfare 2.

COD4 is my second favorite shooter, second only to my beloved TF2.

I'm glad that Infinity Ward wrested control of the series from Treyarch.

When you hear the loud CRUMP of a Barrett .50 cal and your head explodes with no one in sight..........That'll be me :twisted:

Infinity Ward posted a video on their YouTube account showing the first in0game multiplayer footage, and 2 new features:

AC130 Gunship Perk

The ability to "tag" people with grenades, a la Halo.
