    Here's a quickie from the Twitter feed of Robert "fourzerotwo" Bowling, Infinity Ward's director of macking and keeping it real. That... might not be his actual title, I'm not sure.
    Reviewing some radio-chatter VO we just finished recording for Modern Warfare 2 today. “Cujo Two-One this is Vulture, solid copy on all.”
    Is this what the future is all about? People in-the-know on stuff casually drop game names and such into their social networking thangs and the free world dissects it for a greater meaning? Whatever, I'm not going to analyze it too much. I just perk up any time anyone says anything about the next Call of Duty game.

    Now I'm just waiting to hear if the bolt-action rifles will kill Cujo Two-One with one shot if Vulture hits him center mass.

    Call of Duty 4 is amazing and all but I'm really starting to get sick of military shooters.... actually, shooters in general.  Unless Infinity Ward makes huge leaps (like the improvement from Call of Duty 2 to 4) then I'm not picking it up.

    I think it's safe to assume that it will be known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Not Call of Duty 5: Modern Warfare 2.

    I don't really care what they call as long as they make Modern Warfare 2 just as amazing as the last one.

    Man, the bolt-action rifle center mass phrase is totally the best meme to come out of the bombcast. Better than "Still a threat" methinks.

    It seems natural they would want to continue that theme and by using that name.

    The call sign of Vulture suggests aerial attack or reconnaissance...

    seriously though, he's right. the single shot guns, mainly that m14, should be a single shot kill gun, especially considering the crazy recoil .

    I think Modern Warfare 2 is a decent title if they do go for that. Or if they really wanted to explain it could have "Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2:  Back to the Future (Of War) 1"

    I can't wait for this one, after the colossal dissapointment that was WaW's multiplayer it's nice to play somewhere else other than the streets and countrysides of Germany with better guns.

    I'm predicting it to be the best COD by far...As long as they make a longer campaign than 4. Also I think they should add a new game mechanic, where you can dive to the side from grenades, because that would add a whole knew dimension to gameplay.

    i think MW2 will be similar to the first one except a different single player campaign. its gonna feel and play identical to the first one, i don't see the reason why they should change the formula

    I was really looking forward to a Sci-Fi call of duty game. Modern stuff is just too ordinary now, and I think IW could really do some good work since Sci-Fi really doesn't have any limitations.

    Vulture sounds like an aerial unit, so I'm guessing that's just the standard air support sequence.

    Anyway, can't wait for this one. The first Modern Warfare blew my mind, and I'm sure Infinity Ward can do it again.

    Moden Warfare 2.. excellent!

    The only thing I hope for.. is that they do some more innovating in the multiplayer portion. I know their single player will rock face, there's no question or doubt there. But the mutliplayer... which I LOVE will need updating. I played a ton of COD4 mutli.. and quite a bit of W@W multi as well. Great systems but going back for a 3rd installment of the same exact system would be a little too much. Don't think it would last as long. So here's to hoping COD6 pwns all expectations!

    The problem is topping their last game. They can't use the nuke scenario as a plot twist a second time. And if this truly is Modern Warfare 2, in the sense that it will take place within the same general time period, and with the same basic technology, then they'll have to come up with something to keep it from feeling like more of the same. Although I suppose most people won't complain about "more of the same" when it comes to Infinity Ward's Call of Duty.

    Then again, seems like most people only care about the multiplayer, anyway. I'm a single player-player.

    I love the COD4 Multiplayer, but I play games primarily for single-player as well. I love a good story and a good single player campaign, and COD4 delivered both of those admirably. And even if MW2 doesnt top MW1, it will still top World at War. Get this franchise back in the hands of a developer that knows what its doing.

    That's what it sounds like. But there's also a possibility that, much like COD: WAW, the Call of Duty name will play a lesser role than it did with COD4.
