I didn't think I'd stop calling it Call of Duty, but the rebranding worked on me. It's even sounds awkward to call it a Call of Duty game now.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Game » consists of 22 releases. Released Nov 10, 2009
The sequel to 2007’s wildly successful first-person-shooter Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues the story of American and British soldiers fighting Russian ultra-nationalist forces.
Did the Modern Warfare Rebranding work for you?
I don't mind saying modern warfare 2. However trying to recall the previous one is starting to mess up my head. COD 4....COD modern warfare....mondernwarfare1 you get the point.
nope I call it call of duty 6, just like I called world at war call of duty 5 because 5 is shorter than world at war 6 is shorter than modern warfare 2
Yeah, it's Modern Warfare 2 to me. There's a massive illuminated billboard up in Liverpool showing it and I was surprised to see the Call of Duty name on there, even if it's only as big as the ODE in Modern.
It's not a matter of the "rebranding working on me", it's a matter of what the game's official title is. I call games by their title, not something made up. I refer to it as Modern Warfare 2 because that's what it is.
I was playing Gears of War 2 the other day and someone referred to it as "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2". It annoyed me. I am an elitist.
I call it modern warfare 2 cause that's it's name I guess, and because Im not big into COD. But a lot of my friends who game but don't keep up with news as much still call it COD6 : MW2
Yeh, its Modern Warfare 2 for me. Has a nice ring to it :)
Sometimes, i even just say Modern Warfare.
It's just a long title, so the Call of Duty is stupid to include.
It's like how people don't say "The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion", they just say "Oblivion".
It is called Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 though?
Hence the branding on the box.
Anyway, I call it COD 6
" @Vito_Raliffe: It is called Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 though? Hence the branding on the box. Anyway, I call it COD 6 "No, it's called Modern Warfare 2. They simply use Call of Duty on the box and in some advertising for consumers who would be confused by the official title change.
I don't think we are ever going to agree here but for arguments sake, if you were to go into a shop on Tuesday and ask for the Call of Duty game you will be handed MW2. Also, it will continue to carry the tag 'CoD'.
It worked for me... I havent even play the first one... but I will, i borrowed it already from a friend and its waiting in my closet... once I am done.... If I like Ill buy MW2
" @Vito_Raliffe: I don't think we are ever going to agree here but for arguments sake, if you were to go into a shop on Tuesday and ask for the Call of Duty game you will be handed MW2. Also, it will continue to carry the tag 'CoD'. "We're not disagreeing on anything. I am just saying that officially, the game is called Modern Warfare 2. This is fact and not something that can be argued. It was decided this way because Infinity Ward considers it a new IP. Press releases from the companies themselves and the premiere teaser trailer confirm this.
I have no problem with people calling it Call of Duty. That is expected and intentional with the way the game is being marketed. Everyone knows what someone means when they say Call of Duty. A lot of people would be potentially confused if they just marketed it as Modern Warfare 2. This is why the Standard edition of the game has Call of Duty on it, but the more expensive editions do not. They figure if you are buying a collector's edition, you know exactly what Modern Warfare 2 is.
I did jokingly say that I was annoyed when someone called it "Call of Duty FOUR: Modern Warfare 2". That to me is like saying Grand Theft Auto III: San Andreas.
" I wish I could call it COD6 but I can't now or people will get angry. I don't know what the short form for Modern Warfare 2 is... Mod2? "I think it's just MW2

Modern Warfare 2 just feels awkward to me.
My friends and I just refer to it as COD, we know what we're talking about.
