Call of Duty 5: World at War has been a popular game from the start, but fans have been missing their choice of weapons and have been begging for a return to Modern Warfare. We know that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released later this year, but there have been reports that Call of Duty’ will be dropped on Modern Warfare 2.
Game Central Online wanted to get to the bottom of this rumor, so they asked Activision why they decided to change the name. Surprisingly a spokesperson got back to them and gave them the reason why they have dropped the name Call of Duty.
Activision feels that Modern Warfare has taken on a life of its own, and as a result has become their main focus. The new game is planned to be released on November 10, 2009, rest assured once the game comes out we will be giving you a full review.
The new game will be available on the Xbox 360 and the Sony PS3, do you care that Call of Duty is being dropped, and do you think that Activision are making the right choice?
So you have been waiting for some time for what will now be called Modern Warfare 2, so why not tell us, “what weapons do you want” in the new game?

I can’t wait for this game, it looks amazing!
Still agree with silent sniper and Mitchell though, it will feel as if something is missing while playing the game.
For me Call of Duty is an established brand and I want to feel like I am playing the next in their series, which Modern Warfare 2 has a firm place in after the major success of it’s predecessor.
One other thing, if they do drop COD from the title, will there be another COD game released at the same time as MW2? Because if not I see even less of a point in dropping the name!
I’d love Activision to put this to the vote with a poll on their website, I’d be interested to see the percentages!
That would be interesting to see the percentages, but the people like us would probably not like the numbers that come out of it. Frankly, people that have played and enjoyed all of the COD games are few and far in between. A good number of people that bought MW were just Halo players who saw something with the word “modern” in it. I can’t tell you how many people I know that had never played COD until MW and then refused to buy WAW because it went back to WWII. They will want ti to have a name change so that they can have a new game,now that Halo is finished (or at least appears to be). If you go through many of the posts on this website, they say how they want COD in the future! or COD in space! Or even COD with laser guns only and fighting aliens and mutants. These people need to realize that because they want that stuff, there are games like Halo and Fallout. There are also people that actually like the history an realism involved in the game. Basically, what I am trying to say, is that people should go buy those games that have everything they want, already in them, rather than try to ruin COD for those that like the game the way it is.
God Grow up people. Your fighting about a silly name
Best game of the year =
Call Of Duty - Modern Warfare
Thay made millions. But wait, Half of the cash thay made went to the Call of duty name. Why have that name if you know you can make millions and keep all the cash to yourself Bring out your very own world wide shooter and become the best game makers for two years in a row
Think about it!
This is 2009
This WILL be the best game.
This is what we am waiting for!
SO STOP FIGHTING
and get ready for some hardcore WAR!
YES! A smart person posting a good response! Not this sniper joker
I agree with Romeo if he is tellin the truth, an buy the way it is officially modern wrfare 2 not ‘cod MW2′,
romeo that wouldnt be the only reson they dropped it because otherwise why would they get activivsion publish it, they could go off a make it independently an make millions.
I dont really care thAt much if its only MW2 just aslong as they keep the same style as cod4. it is pretty dumb tho because the first one was called, ‘ CoD4: Modern Warfare so it woldv’e made sense to keep cod in it BUT WHO CARES!!
i just hope that they aren’t doing it because of some arrogant idea that their game is above the call of duty brand. but other than that, its just a name, it makes no difference to the gameplay so i’m not bothered
