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.
What to expect from Call of Duty 6
As of now, there doesn't seem to be any other contenders for biggest holiday hit for 2009, so COD: MW2 may completely corner the market. What would you like to see in this title? New, higher-tech weapons? More vehicle use? What kind of direction in the story line? Personally, I can't wait for this game. Call of Duty World at War has been a lot of fun, no doubt, but come Fall I'll be itching for a new Call of Duty.

A longer single player would be good. Being able to finish the first Modern Warfare in one 5 hour sitting is ridiuclous. The multiplayer shouldn't be changed too much because it's almost perfect as it is - I don't want them to do a Gears 2 and fuck it up. What excites me the most is finding out what new multiplayer maps they'll create, and what addition weapons are added.

well, i guess it wont be long before something of the likes of Call Of Duty: Future War or something like that comes out...it would be interesting though :P
Bulldog,
You may be right about that. That seemed like pretty much a "see how many points you can get as fast as possible" scenario. Regardless, though, I think it'd be cool to incorporate it in.
Vash,
My only concern about making it future war is that developers typically have a difficult time picturing future weapons. Look at Battlefield: 2142. Now, I don't know if you guys liked that game, but I surely didn't. It was making the future much too...futuristic. Say, if Infinity Ward sets the next COD in 2099. Ninety years from now things will be different, no doubt, but they won't be ridiculously different. There won't be battles on Mars or any of that crap, and we won't be using terraforming guns (mainly because those are stupid and by-and-large, pointless)

1 meelion call of dutys?
Unless there is some awesome game coming out in 2009 that could eclipse COD 6 (doubtful) I think it'll be the game of the year. I'm looking forward to Arkham Asylum and HAWX as well, but not even close in degree to COD 6.
I'm a little dissapointed that it continues the same story -- to me that means that the weapons won't be drastically different. I mean, how many other weapons can they include that weren't in COD4. I'm a sucker for high-tech weapons -- kinda like near-future scenarios, y'know.
My guess is that it will incorporate more actions. I think I heard that Mirror's Edge came out of the COD people (not sure which company) fooling around with the engine, so maybe the characters will be able to be a bit more dynamic. Afterall, all we can do is run, jump and crouch, so maybe they'll be more to it (a cover system, diving, etc.).
MikeyZeroG,
I'd love to see more versatile movements. Taking cover should seemingly be standard in any FPS, and yet it's not. Kinda strange. For as great a game COD4 was, player movement was very stiff. Being able to run and dive forward onto the ground to shoot from a prone position, if done seamlessly, would be awesome and would no doubt add a new flavor to the franchise.
I'd love to see more versatile movements. Taking cover should seemingly be standard in any FPS, and yet it's not. Kinda strange.I totally agree. The Rainbow 6 Vegas cover system works so well that i'm pretty surprised that a variant of it hasn't been implemented in more FPS games. Quantum of Solace tried, but well, we all know how that worked out... Hopefully in the future more FPS developers give it a shot.
A longer single player campaign is definitely on my wish list for this one. COD4 was able to get away with having such a short campaign by having such a good story to go with it. If the story sucked, I woulda been really pissed at the short duration of the game. If COD6 can do the same story-wise, then I'll be just fine with a campaign of the same length, but I still wish it will be longer regardless.

Personally, I wouldn't mind COD: MW2 (or whatever it might be called) story to pick up where COD 4 left off. In fact, that can allow for different maps to be created for multiplayer, imagine either junlge or snow maps with modern weapons? It would be like combining the best parts of COD: WaW and COD 4 gameplay. Also MORE GUNS lol

Well technically it's actually the fourth. Infinity Ward put Call of Duty 3, on their main menu for Modern Warfare, meaning they don't consider any of Activisions COD games to be real or cannon or whatever.
I've been playing through World at War and the difference between Infinity Ward and Treyarch reared it's head in a good few places. So I expect Modern Warfare 2 to blow the water out of WaW and improve on 4.
I don't think we will be seeing a new engine, and no reason to either, 4 ran at 60fps on the 360 and looked incredible. So I'd expect modifications and graphical improvements to the engine rather than an entirely new one.
I would be fine with another short single player like that in CoD4, so long as it's backed up by 20 or more multiplayer levels to keep me interested. I sunk so many hours into the multuplayer on 4 it was ridiculous.
More attachments for weapons, and more weapons as well.
I want better rewards for prestige, more levels to level up, and more levels of prestige.
Some online achievements would be great too.

I'd like to see a run to prone system like GRAW. Even though I never finished that game and enjoy CoD4 alot more than I ever did any of the Ghost Recon games, I've always missed the ability to go from running to prone the way you do in GRAW. And a good cover mechanic would be nice too, or at the very least some peaking around corners.
"Seriously, the next Halo and the next CoD should have MINIMUM 32s online.Yeah, I would love some big games. But I like small ones too. Ground War should just be redefined and allow 32-64 player games. That would be pretty awesome.I mean, why not? Frontlines had 52 on consoles.How hard would it be to add a few more spawn points and make larger maps?"
"Hopefully single-player is worked on more than multiplayer. I never would have thought that all people would only want multiplayer in a game. But anywho hopefully there will only be vehicles in one map OR LESS. I hate the tanks in COD: WAW They suck."Oo vehicles would be great. I tried the tank in the beta, and they were alright. But I'd love to try to drive around something... The AC-130 Gunship mission was fun.
"I expect another great game in the CoD universe, which will suck up much of my spare time in the form of multiplayer bliss."I still play 4 like it came out yesterday. ;___;
To post about the numerics at the end of each title they are dropping the numbers 4 is the last game bearing a number
Okay, so here's what I'm thinking would be a cool storyline for Modern Warfare 2...
You and your team rescue the VIP and jump out of the plane that's going down. You land in China, North Korea (or some fictional country comparable) and you have to make it to a friendly border, protecting the VIP. Maybe he/she is an ambassador or the Secretary-General of the UN. You have to do some fighting to make it to the border, but you make it...
Then, there's a response from the fictional country to the US' intervention in the matter, and lets say, a dirty bomb is detonated by a separate, but linked to the main fictional country, terrorist cell in the US. If we're talkin about China or N.Korea lets say the bomb goes off in San Francisco. Your new mission is to find out who did this, which will include going into covert ops into the palaces and political buildings of the enemy country.
Also, the side story may involve, and this may be a stretch, a local SWAT officer who is charged with finding the terrorist cell in San Francisco. This could provide a really cool, fresh direction in terms of story and environment. I mean come on, a shoot-out on the Golden Gate Bridge, or in the Palace of Fine Arts? AWESOME.
