Apparently people(Cajole) think this is tonight's "big news". I'm telling you, Diabo III multiplat.

[Bloodwake]

I'll buy it.

[Andowsky]

What big news could there be for this game? We already know its coming this year and will be multiplatform, and that it will be the greatest multiplayer game of all time.

[Diunx]

Am I the only person who has never cared that much about online multiplayer?

[Andowsky]

Here's the big news: Looks the same

Hell yeah 
 

plays the same

Hell yeah

probably has a box art that's 90% the same.

Hell yeah

WaW is probably the last COD I'll buy. It's one map pack and then "NEW GAME GUYS PACK IT ALL IN".

Treyarch will release more map packs.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I really hope the "megaton" isn't MW2. Everyone already has a pretty clear idea of what the game will be and we haven't even seen it yet.

[Andowsky]

Oh yeah? I'm still waiting on COD4 maps that were talked about. As soon as they announce MW2 tonight, Treyarch will begin work on World  at War 2 and they'll announce that later this year. I know how Activision operates.

They have a lot of maps that were almost done still in the PC version, people dug through it and found them. 3 of them were the first DLC packs. The lack of packs for Modern Warfare was more of Infinity Ward not wanting to work on more of them than it was Activision not wanting easy money. These things sell like fucking hotcakes for $10 a pop. Either way, what is the big deal about not releasing a bunch of new maps? The game is already loaded with maps and modes.

Also, didn't Activision already confirm this title in December and announce the fall release?

IT HAPPENED BEFORE! And as I'm told it'll happen again.

It happened with Diablo 1 on the PSX and published by EA. Ironically, it was more fun than the PC one due to the controls.

[Eel O'Brian]

another modern war game

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

*snooze*

[duckman2000]

Multiplayer should be hot, but I really hope they are doing something new with SP. But then again, I could probably use a couple of years of no shooters, online or off.

[Kestastrophe]

I would be happy if they finally got rid of endless spawning enemies

[Eel O'Brian]

i'll probably rent it, at least

you know they'll have co-op, so maybe there'll be a separate co-op storyline

they'll take all the stuff treyarch did in waw and expand it, i imagine

[Phoenix Dark]

MGS4 360

[WrikaWrek]

It's gonna be COD6.

Who cares. I can't even get back to KZ2. I've been on the second mission for a week. And the game is gud.

[Joe Molotov]

Windows and Mac, omg

Nope.

modern warfare 2

[Grecco]

Campaign in Africa plz.

Also Multiplayer Beta announcement plz.

Sexiest teaser ever. 

[demi]

On the website you can analyze the video and image zoom. I dont see why they wouldnt put there on purpose, unless thats just a feature to that video embed software

[cool breeze]

It looks like it has an airport.  More video games need to be in airports, so I'm excited to at least see that level.  If they don't change gameplay, then it's another game I'll buy for the excellent multiplayer.

and an oil refinery!

[Bebpo]

Yeah, unless they change this I'm done with the franchise.  I was really tired of endless waves by the end of CoD4 and I still have no desire to even start playing CoD5, let alone CoD6.

I like the feel and look of MW, so if they CHILL a bit on 300 guys coming out of a hallway I'll be down for MW2.

[Eric P]

they should do korean war so they can finally justify scenes of infinispawn

[duckman2000]

There's more that needs to be changed, or updated. The canned death animations and lack of hit response isn't a critical issue, but it works better in MP than SP. It would be nice if they eased up just a bit on the scripted enemy "tactics" and actually tried something a bit more dynamic. And drop the theme park ride stuff and let me take more direct part in the cooler sections, like rappelling, kicking down doors and dealing with field prisoners.

The MP can be a COD4 clone with new weapons for all I care, I'm fine with that. Maybe real clan support and optional larger games, but it's so good the way it is.

As for the trailer, sounds like a terrorist attack/siege. Call of Rainbow Six: Modern Tactics

Edit: I'd totally buy an arcade style COD for Wii, though. Hell, make it a rail shooter.

Leper duckman immediately.

[duckman2000]

Oh come on, that would be hot. Then they could focus squarely on the scripted encounters that they are so good at, without presenting players with ridiculous invisible barriers. Make it all SMG combat, too.

[drohne]

edit: no, this post was too wanky even for me

[Vizzys]

Halo 3 was way better than COD4 anyway.

good one

[EmCeeGrammar]

The guys at work play the first one alot.  I kind of want to dip into the franchise so it be cool if they could get a wii version out.  I realllllly want more fps with ir aiming.

[Fragamemnon]

needs a clint eastwood Grand Torino (tm) mode, would then be must buy.

In all seriousness, one of the really nice things about games like COD is that they actually can hit on themes of modern warfare without having to deal with the messy Cold War politics and posturing that drove most of the decisions of said wars. I'd really like to see Call of Duty give a take on the Vietnam or Korean Wars, as there are some really nice settings for some video gaming in those wars (Chosin Reservoir and the ensuing retreat, Hue, etc) that would go comfortably into COD's themes.

Does one of them call you Big Tuna?

I don't talk to people at work silly.  Eavesdropping is a hobby now!

[Draft]

Sweet teaser.

It would be cool if the game was like a gigantic Red Dawn style terrorist attack on the US.

[WrikaWrek]

Sad move from Activision to create a separate franchise. 

[TVC15]

A new yearly exploitable franchise that took no real work to develop!  MEGATON!

[AdmiralViscen]

Title Change.

They're dropping Call of Duty.

Are you serious?

[Grecco]

Casuals jumped on WAW cause it was titlted CALL OF DUTY

dropping that is so stupid.

[fistfulofmetal]

Dropping the COD name is for the best after what Treyarch did to the franchise.

[EmCeeGrammar]

So this means CoD is always going to be a WW2 game? With annual releases? Weird.

[dark1x]

No. See, Treyarch will begin doing modern games.


I don't know why sc-fi games can't be made. Give me laser guns, space shields, and perks that drop meteors from the sky.

"Our recon spaceship is activated!"
"Our attach mech is online!"

Come one Activision, give it to meeeee. Be cool for once.

It would play exactly the same, though.  There is no variation in the series and how the skirmishes are designed.  Everything is completely scripted and battles rely on a spawning enemies rather than AI based opponents.  There's nothing dynamic or interesting about the situations they throw you into and that's a real shame.

[duckman2000]

Laser guns, that's lame.

[duckman2000]

Laser guns, that's lame.

You're lame.

Absolutely, but at least I'm not lame enough to ask for laser guns in a Call of Duty Modern Warfare game.

Laser guns

I played that future Batlefield game. It was shit

[The Fake Shemp]

Will buy day one.

World at War multiplayer was even better than COD4, and I pretty much played that for months straight.

[chronovore]

Activision splitting an amazingly profitable FPS line into two makes perfect sense if you're a marketing executive. Not sure it makes as much sense if you're a gamer trying to figure out where to spend yer US$60.

[Beezy]

World at War multiplayer was even better than COD4

I refuse to believe this.

[Phoenix Dark]

How is MW on the PC?

[The Fake Shemp]

Believe.  Single player was definitely a notch before, but Treyarch actually improved the multiplayer.  It's fantastic.

[brawndolicious]

Retitling it is probably for the better.  WaW had a very original campaign compared to the last CoD's but a lot of the changes/improvements and gore just wouldn't work in a modern day setting. This way IW and Treyarch can go in their own directions with the multiplayer and the campaign.

I'm guessing that MW2 will be a more tactical shooter.  Not like the Tom Clancy game but it won't let you burn the forests down like in WaW.

[Rman]

So, Treyarch is in charge of COD and IW is in charge of MW now?

[TVC15]

So, Treyarch is in charge of COD and IW is in charge of MW now?

Pretty much.

But that would require both teams putting out a game every year, rather than the pace of every other that they are currently on.  Or maybe there will only be one of either in a given year.

I dont know about this. The Dogs are annoying and the weapons arent balanced at all. Most people use submachie guns. Nobody uses Rifles unless its snipers in large stages.

Perks are neat, and vehicles are fun but i dont know if id put it at a higher level than COD4

[Draft]

Two "different" franchises playing exactly the same.

I don't want to come across as overly snarky, but think about that statement in terms of the entire FPS genre, and ask yourself if it's an issue.

[brawndolicious]

yeah, COD4 and WaW had a lot of similarities but I'm guessing that starting with this game, they'll change up the gameplay a lot.

Looking at FPS games as a whole, it isn't an issue.  But you understand what I'm saying right? Following the same pattern as WaW being COD4 reskinned, it will be insanely ridiculous and would probably kill sales of one of the series.

I guess what I'm saying is that I really don't think it would matter. COD being the 1940s themed map pack for MC isn't going to be an issue for the buying public.
