Modern Warfare 2 Formally Announced
If you’re a first-person shooter fan, than you’re likely a fan of the Call of Duty series, and if you aren’t, it just means you haven’t played CoD: Modern Warfare. But for the rest of us that haven’t been living in some weird dimension that prevents you from playing one of the best games ever made, today Activision has a ridiculously exciting announcement. Well, in a way two really.
First off, CoD: Modern Warfare is officially getting a sequel, while we all expected it, given the wide acclaim for how fantastic Modern Warfare was, but now Activision have formally announced Modern Warfare 2. Though no release date can be confirmed, Activision has put together a website to hype what will likely be yet another fantastic entry in the Call of Duty series. Head over to ModernWarfare2.com to see the teaser trailer.
Oh yes, that’s another point that’s very interesting, Modern Warfare 2 has dropped the Call of Duty portion of it’s title. Meaning Modern Warfare is going to become it’s own separate series of games? Because as long as the quality stays as high as we’ve all grown to expect, Modern Warfare could have a very long run the videogame sequel world.
The other announcement concerning Call of Duty comes from vg247.com which has reported that Activision submitted an Xbox Live version of Call of Duty for a PEGI rating. Discovered via PEGI’s website: PEGI
The only thing I’m wondering is if this will be a direct Call of Duty port to Xbox Live, or if Activision is releasing a revamped version of the first Call of Duty more fitting with the “next-gen” gaming consoles?
