Modern Warfare 2 regains Call of Duty prefix

@penorburger, you're PARTIALLY right. People love new kinds of games. When the Sims had came out, it was a new type of game and people loved it. Assassin's Creed was another unique game that people loved. If people wanted easy repetitive stuff we'd still be playing pac-man and digdug.

Call of Duty 6 sounds better.

WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! i really hate hate call of duty; plus its to confusing: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2; come on!!!!!!!!!!

YES :D

Sorry Versipells, lol. IW rely too much on overly scripting everything, no dynamic gameplay, everything is heavily scripted to the extreme, but again, the average 12 yr old doesn't care beceause he enjoys blasting wave after wave of enemies the exact same trigger point ina game, lol.

At first it would make sense to call it Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2, however it seems they decided against it because then some people would think ... oh so its just an expansion to COD4. Technically the game should be called Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2, but then again they dropped the sequel numbers after COD4 (Call of Duty: World at War). All in all it makes sense to name it Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It looks like from here on out there won't be sequel numbers unless they are direct sequels to previous COD titles. In response to Strategygamer22 "If this is a sequal to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, then shouldn't this be titled Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2. Maybe they think that many numbers would confuse people?"

its about time, they beat it out of them.

penorburger: exactly what kind of games should people be playing then?

good. just likethe good old days in gaming. like with the ps2 and xbox.

Call it: "Guys with Guns" and I'd still buy it.

Exactly like the sims, for shooters at least, how different is this gonna be, all COD games play the same as COD 1, outdated linear, endless spawns, terrible pyhysics. terrible AI, endless wave after wave of dumb enemies, done in 5 hours. Overrated, neg rep all you want, this is all todays casual console gamer wants, easy games and doing the same thing over and over without thought.

Aj was right, same game, charging 60 bucks, the Sims of shooters. Most overrated games ever, at least the original HALo did actually do something new for its time. Watch the mindless sheep defend it like I banged theri mom, truth hurts. This is all todays easy, casual gamer wants.

I played it on my xbox 360. I loved it the controls were excellent. Thinking I will get if my xbox again rather than my ps3.

it doesnt look right.....they should redo the text before they ship the game but i know that would cost an arm and leg....o well in my heart it will MW2

Notice how Activision has left out any image of a PS3 version? I see a PC and Xbox 360 box, but no PS3... oooh turning up the flames on the Sony coal train for a reduced price.

I would prefer if treyarch sererated from infinty ward, so that treyarch would go down. But I guess not many people would realise what modern warfare 2 is unless it has cod in front of it.

plan "b" is always the way to go...

Does it really matter?

Very funny all these PR power struggles... Activision vs Sony a few days ago, then this... Here I guess, Infinity Ward wanted to split from Treyarch with a brand new IP and then Activision came and said: I want to maximize the sales so you will continue mixing your games with Treyarch's. Anyway I dont care actually.

ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES!

Please fire Ryan. He's clearly uninterested in games. Crappy journalist bastard.

haha smart on IW, anything titled with call of duty will sell

No matter what I'm still buying the game.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I guess it won't really matter, I won't be able to play it anyways. But the Call of Duty logo on the box just doesn't seem to match with the Modern Warfare 2 logo very well.

YESSSSSSSS

WHO CARES either way its going to be a fun game

Im sorry but if they cant bring anything more to the table then snowmobiles and a couple new maps and guns im out seriously everyones raving about this game but its still the same BS.

Why not call it Call of Duty 4 Version 2.0? We, the real gamers and potential buyers, all know that this is a sequel without needing the prefix.

I would have called It "Modern duty of warfare calls 24" just to keep it simple.

If this is a sequal to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, then shouldn't this be titled Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2. Maybe they think that many numbers would confuse people?

thank you. I hated that ya'll were gonna take the CoD out just cause it was too good. if anything, don't let Activision use the CoD prefix. Theirs are crap.

Just call MW2, so easy. -_- I hated world at war.Zombies and far too many dogs ruined the game.I bought it and took it back the next day.Looking forward to MW2 though.Hopefully the guns sound real this time.Never should a large machine gun just sound like a large popgun.

Your comment is pretty shallow imyour13thstep, at least considering everyone said the same thing about call of duty going modern and about call of duty: world at war.

What the trailers and stage demo make of this game is that it's an action movie. It looks cool that way but I hope they won't over do it.

i hope all you die hard fans dont get any suicideal tendicies when this game fails. Seems kinda cheesy from what I seen of this game so far. I mean call of duty 4 modern warfare was the $hizzy but just cause its modern warefare 2 doesnt mean it lays gold eggs. So all you kids make sure you read the reviews before you spend your parents hard earned dollars on this game. But lets hope for the best!!!8)

cool box art...but the name doesnt really matter as long as it is good

good now i can say call of duty instead of the long modern warfare 2

wish it was november already..... .TT_TT

LoL. Seriously, the folks at Activision sure are something aren't they. ...

Not only will my character be bleeding in the game but so will my pockets come November 10, 2009. See you all on the battlefield.

They pulled a "New Coke" Made people miss the CoD title so everone would be super excited when they brought it back

COD is nothing like the SIMS, you fail PENORBURGER

Damn! I want this game!! :D

cod6 yea if u wanna call it that it is. cause it continues from the cod franchise

Every cod game plays the same, restricted, linear, short, bad AI, retarded endless spawn and trigger points, perfect for todays mindless console gamers. COD is becoming the SIMS of shooters, new game every year for 60 bucks which is identical to the last.

Slow news day Gamespot?

I can't wait

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

CoD = $

COD games are so overrated
