Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Check out the Apr. 25th posting on planetcallofduty.com !

It is official. Activision, partnered with CoD2 developer Infinity Ward, will introduce us to their latest Call of Duty installment for the PC: Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Activision will apparently reveal their new game by playing trailers during the U.S. NFL Draft taking place this Saturday (April 28th) at 1:00 pm EDT.

Although not the best kept secret in the gaming industry, enthusiasts of the WWII series knew that CoD4 was coming; however, there was and still is, a great deal of speculation regarding its theme and setting.

While the general public has not been told much in this regard, rampant Internet speculation suggests that the plot in CoD: Modern Warfare involves global terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.

Those same rumors suggest that players will operate as units of the U.S. Army, Marines and British Special Air Service. Settings apparently include Eastern Europe, the Middle East and at sea.

While the Call of Duty series has been fighting neck and neck with the Battlefield-series for the first person shooter market, undoubtedly, the impending release of Medal of Honor: Airborne Assault necessitated Activision to launch a first strike to ensure that their current players do not stray from their franchise.
