GDC 2009: RUMOR: Infinity Ward Drop Call of Duty from Modern Warfare 2 According to Keighley
So Keighley’s Gears 2 type megaton game was revealed to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and, as much as we’re looking forward to it, it was a whimper. But hey, as long as it keep the momentum of Call of Duty 4, thats fine, except it wont be keeping one thing: the Call of Duty title.
It was somewhat bewildering that there was no Call of Duty title at the end of the trailer, just Modern Warfare 2 at the end of the trailer, so, where is it? Well according to, guess who, Geoff Keighley, it’s gone motherfuckers!
There can be no doubt! But apparently it’s not CALL OF DUTY. Just “Modern Warfare 2.”
So, whats the story here, is Call of Duty dropped from all Infinity Ward games now? Or is Modern Warfare a strong enough game to warrant its own series away from Call of Duty? Well, we do know one thing, there may not be a Call of Duty come November 10th when it’s release for PS3 and 360.

Activision, who as far as I know owns the Call of Duty name, and Infinity Ward seem to be beefing. IMO, Modern Warfare is definitely strong enough to carry its own name and series. I guess we’ll see.

Correction: Looks like Call of Duty WILL, in fact, be part of the title.

Umm,. its all just part of the trailer, just to make it look better. I mean everyone knows modern warfare, there is no need for the call of duty part as it would have hindered the trailer. Sheesh people.
