The latest installment of the Call of Duty series of shooters will be hitting the market by the end of this year. It has started gaining critical and commercial acclaim, and in fact it seems for the executives that they are more excited about the upcoming Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to 2007’s CoD: Modern Warfare, which shattered all records in sales and in awards received.
The brand manager at Activision, Simon Well, had revealed that the hopes are very high with the next title among them and also among all the fans, which meets all of the premises to be the best selling video game in the gaming history.
He said that each year the Call of Duty franchise goes from strength-to-strength and they, at Activision, wants to propel 2009’s title to be the biggest selling video game in the history of video games.
He added that all firmly believe that they have the potential to be the No.1 entertainment property of 2009 and also plans are being made to deliver one of the most engaging campaigns of 2009.
The developer also feels that they are in for a big marketing campaign before the title is released, in November this year. They are also keeping hope that this title will live up to all this hype and they will also enjoy a great experience.
So at the moment Google has this site #1 for the search term “modern warfare 2″ and I don’t want IW to sue the crap out of me so I’m going to make sure everyone knows the official Modern Warfare 2 site is located here. I don’t know why they put me back to #1, the day after the trailer was released they stuck IW at #1 but it has since slipped back to #2.
Hey also, don’t you guys own modernwarfare2.com? That question is directed at the IW guys if they should happen to read this post. If you guys have the .com just move all your stuff over to it and it will out rank this site just because it’s the .com
Anyway, I’m sure Google will figure it out soon enough, in the mean time try not to sue me OK? I mean after all, I always give you guys love and make sure everyone knows you’re way better devs than Treyarch
I was reading the comment thread over at reddit about the trailer and one of the people pointed out what appears to be some perk icons hidden in the trailer at 1:12. It certainly looks like some perk icons to me, what do you think? Also, has anyone else found anything worth mentioning? I have been at work and not had a chance to really watch the trailer frame by frame yet. If you find anything interesting, stick it in the comments of this post and I’ll check them when I get home.
It’s really not much of a trailer, basically it’s a glorified MP3 clip, but I guess at this point we will take whatever we can get. Don’t get yourself too excited but if you wanna take a look…or listen, do it here.
Also, as previously called out on both this site and cod6.org, the release date is indeed 11.10.09, I’ll be taking a week off or so from work that week BTW. I still wish they had given us a bit more, if you pause the video at the correct times you can sort of make out some pictures but it leaves the viewer a bit hungry for more which is probably their exact intentions ;o
Well boys and girls, IW is going to make a come back and it will be in the form of Modern Warfare 2. So think COD4 only way cooler. Because they can add all the awesome stuff form Call of Duty 4 that we loved, and remove the stuff we didn’t. I think Infinity Ward could develop a better game than Treyarch with their eyes closed. I’m just so happy that Activision isn’t going to give Treyarch another chance to screw Call of Duty up.
Anyway, stay tuned for more information and news regaurding COD6. Very little is known right now but I’m sure new stuff will be leaked as time goes on.
COD6 MW2 is due to be released sometime in fall of 2009!
So at the moment Google has this site
