Call of Duty 6: The franchise continues...

So, Infinity Ward, the crew behind the fantastic Call of Duty 1, 2 and Modern Warfare games have announced on 8th December 2008 that they have started work on their newest title: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. And I sit in front of my computer giving a WTF face thinking how generic that name can be. The game will be released sometime around September 2009

So, will we be expecting a return to Azerbaijan or the middle east? Or will a religious zealot or political despot threaten world peace again, causing another group of bad-ass brits to send their butts back to oblivion?

Now, as much as I'm glad to have Infinity Ward back to blow gamers away, (Call of Duty 3 was leaving a bad aftertaste) I was hoping for something more modern, something like: Call of Duty: FUTURISTIC warfare. Now THAT would be total win. Imagine, fighting with lasers and such, pew! pew! pew! It could be the perfect game if Infinity Ward manages to pull it off. I have never experienced a game where you actually fight alongside AI buddies in a futuristic setting and you're not the "True Hero" of the whole damn thing.

Too bad it's still the modern world...

A bit too much to ask for, I guess.


If they really wanna create a sequel to COD4, I'm hoping Cpt. Price makes his appearance again. He's seemingly impervious to the effects of time, seeing as he has survived from WWII all the way to the modern times, without even gaining a scratch or a wrinkle.

Spoiler for COD4 ending (Insider joke)...

Cpt. Price: Ugghh... I won't make it... Goodbye, cruel world...

Russian Soldier: (attempting to revive Price) Не действительно, Вы появляетесь в COD6...
Translation: (Not really, you're appearing in COD6...)

Cpt. Price: What? YEESSSS..... I live, AGAIN!!!

We've come to expect nothing short of brilliance and a hella time from Infinity Ward's titles; lets hope they don't disappoint us with their latest. Remember, folks, these are the industry's finest!
