Modern Warfare 2 Has “Call Of Duty” Written On The Box, Not Called Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Though

Wow Look, The Call Of Duty Is Back In The Title. Or Is It?

Wow Look, The Call Of Duty Is Back In The Title. Or Is It?

Alas, the irritating debate on whether Modern Warfare 2 will have “Call Of Duty” in the title rages on. This boxart posted on Twitter clearly shows the location of the words “Call Of Duty”. So you’d be safe to assume the game is actually called Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 right? Wrong.

Note this press release from Activision that notes the words “Modern Warfare 2″ solely on numerous occassions.

Infinity Ward’s  Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  We have focused our attention on  Modern Warfare in order to most effectively communicate the fact that this is the first true sequel in the  Call of Duty series.   Infinity Ward, the original creators of the  Call of Duty franchise, has said from the beginning  Modern Warfare 2 resides in the  Call of Duty universe.  This is reflected in the title’s package.

So what can we assume from all this. Well, that the game is called Modern Warfare 2 but the words “Call Of Duty” are on the box to maximise sales.

Let this be the end of the saga.

    Did you notice the absence of the PS3 version in that photo?
    Do you think maybe this is the latest Activision move in the "Tag-You're It" Game they started with Sony?
  • I don't really think it's anything to read into at all to be honest. After all, it's just a box.
