Call of Duty 4 Disinformation

In an attempt to continue BASH's tradition of bringing you irresponsible journalism in easy-to-read, bite-size chunks, we wanted to inform our readers that there are an ever increasing number of internet reports purporting to have evidence of the new Call of Duty 4 currently being worked on by Infinity Ward.

Here are some "facts" that BASH has put together based on internet rumors:

1. From neowin.com, COD4 will be based on modern war, probably set in the middle east:

Neowin reports that the damage modeling in COD4 will be second to none:
"while most shooters have two or three critical points on the head, Call of Duty 4 has 16, saying that you can shoot the side of an opponent’s helmet to make it spin on their head, or knock the helmet clean off. Supposedly you will even be able to
shoot an enemy’s ear off."
3. Infinity Ward will be responsible for bringing COD4 to PC gamers as well as to consoles.

Call of Duty HQ says the following:

"I can say, however, that the chances of IW following the track of DICE's Battlefield franchise are very high. That is to say, CoD4 = CoD Modern Warfare, and CoD5 may be CoD Future Warfare. That is totally speculation at this point." cod2hq

Even after they read the article, Call of Duty HQ readers responded oddly to this poll:
What's your prediction for CoD4?

Modern Warfare 24.66% (91)
Pacific Front 20.05% (74)
Vietnam 14.36% (53)
Future Warfare 3.25% (12)
World War 2 37.67% (139)
5. Check out these purported COD4 images from gamereactor.se


This is hysterical. Note the following website, these pictures are real and from IRAQ.
Any website showing these should be ashamed. And gets the official BASH, "LOL"
