Speaking during an earnings call last night Activision Publishing boss Mike Griffith confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is to be released later this year.

"We will also release Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from Infinity Ward," said Griffith. "The Call of Duty franchise is in its seventh year and it has never been stronger. Our recent performance was driven by Call of Duty World at War, which was a huge success for us this year, ranking as the number two selling franchise in the holiday quarter and the strength of Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare catalogue sales, which was the number one first-person action game of all time with life to date of more than 12 million units."

Griffith added: "2009 going to be a very exciting year for the franchise as we expect this year's launch is likely going to be the most anticipated title of all of 2009."

Wido	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Anticipated title Karlius? O Yes! With COD5 being set in the pacific and the russians battling to put the Soviet Union flag on Berlins building, the anticiaption is far high. I keep playing COD4 over COD5 these days as I prefer COD4 than COD5. COD5 is a good game no matter of a doubt about it, but COD4 just makes it better and better to run around and gun. Modern Warfare 2 shall or most probably beat COD4 if IW do right like COD4 but improve on the falls with COD4. Report Reply

It is really most anticipated for 2009 beating bioshock, heavy rain or god of war. I still play cod4 and cod5. Recently, cod 4 was nominated for bafta's best game and i think it will win beating gta iv. I have sky high expectations from cod6. I think it will beat even gta 4 in terms of sales and i expect a 10 from it can't wait. COD ROCKS Report Reply

Over the past couple of years Infinity Ward and Treyarch have produced two of the best FPS's of all time. As the title becomes more and more popular however, I hope that it doesn't rest on it's laurels and become just another good looking dose of blandness that we anticipate with unbridled eagerness. I do think that Infinity Ward have had enough time to digest the series. Between Modern Warfare and Treyarch's World @ War, the time to conceive the next best FPS has undoubtedly been Infinity Wards' focus. They have proven beyond doubt that they are capable. Hope the story line and settings resonate a progressive timeline from Modern Warfare. While I love both games, Modern Warfare is definitely my favourite of the two. I would anticipate something more modern (conceptually) again than IV. Maybe a war on home soil (America/ England/ South America/ Canada - "Uprising" - "Global Environmental/ Resource Threat" etc.). Some great locales to shoot shit in and theoretically, totally plausible. Report Reply

But I agree that with the COD series being released every year it has the possibility of becoming a bit (dare I say it) boring. But saying that, the series does seem to be going from strength to strength so fingers crossed it will be another great game to add to the collection. Reply

However, because it's Modern Warfare they can get away with fictional locations, so to freshen things up: - Training on Snowdon/North Wales, include S.A.S. induction at the start but don't let the player know they're on induction. - Norway. In my view only SOCOM did a really good snowy level in the original, Norway has tonnes of the stuff so a nice infiltration level to detect and eliminate a remote hacker's outpost replete with snow camo, trip-wires between the evergreens, avalanche set-piece, on rails skiing down a glacier as the getaway when things go wrong. - Plain clothes mission in New York/London/Paris/Streatham tracking down potential suicide bombers in the subway systems, with a twist that the local fuzz are actually the bombers and the subways aren't their targets. - A submarine goes off the grid and is found at the bottom of the seabed, infiltrate, investigate, crew expendable, risk of biohazard. Thie original Metal Gear Solid had a very very cool submersed infiltration, maybe a play on that. - An embassy hostage rescue. It's what the SAS are famous for, chuck one of those in as the level after the credits. - Two satellites collide in space. Fluke? Secret NASA mission investigates and you're on it, cross between Moonraker and Armageddon, secret Chinese orbital station in geo-synch with the dark side of the moon. (Getting a bit far fetched really, but just think of the perks you could earn for laser weaponry!) - Borneo! Lovely jungle playground for the S.A.S., and running around in the woods playing cowboys and indians is what it's all about really. Chance to raise the bar with some bark-splinter/shrapnel effects and lighting/camouflage. Chuck in some white-water rafting for fun. Now all we have to do is think of something to add to the mix similar to the AC130 Gunship mission... .... Nope I'm stumped, that was just too good Bit late for COD MW:2 I guess, but maybe Infinity or Treyarch can nab some of these ideas for later releases. Bet they've thought of them already. Report Reply
