Not sure if everyone has seen this yet, so here you go:

Here's the updated part of the article:

An official press release sent out the subsequent morning confirms that Modern Warfare 2 will not bear the "Call of Duty" prefix. Activision had not answered questions about whether or not the game was the unique new IP that Infinity Ward mentioned when it revealed its top talent had signed long-term contracts with Activision last July.

Personally, I don't mind the name change. Modern Warfare 2 sounds OK to me.

If Infinty Ward dont put down the Call of duty sign on it, then that could possibly be taking away the Call of duty series

badge. "Modern Warfare 2"? Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 sounds cooler. Anyway, cant wait for this, and I can see that

you have posted on loads of Modern Warfare 2 forums. You must be excited too eh? Of course you've got to be excited!

Cool

The numbers always confuse me. Oh well, I'll be too busy playing online to care. Can't wait! :D

The name could've been a bit more unique or interesting.

[QUOTE="Nephilim83"][QUOTE="navstar29"] It technically still is Call of Duty 6. Internally with Activision. And it is technically part of the series. But its called Modern Warfare 2. navstar29

I don't see the point why they'd change the name? its a game that has been out for some time now. I understand if in future makes if they take out the Call Of Duty name out like for instance, the game SmackDown Vs Raw 2011. The next game that came out not too long ago is now called WWE 12. They felt they didn't need that title anymore so it'd work out with Call Of Duty. Besides, the past Call Of Duty games were focused on the past not now in the present or near future. If they stick with world wars and past times then Call Of Duty would be a good name still. But again just to have it called Modern Warfare 2.... means they'd have to re create new packaging for the games so anyone who doesn't have MW2 can buy it and just not have the Call Of Duty title in it :SPSn_Hydrexo

Are you just brand new to the internet, or do you not realize that this article is 3 freaking years old?
