Call of Duty 6: Faqs

Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to Call of Duty 4 is in development and set to release on November 10, 2009. It was officially announced by Activision & Blizzard on December 3, 2008.

Title

Due to the commercial success of Call of Duty 4, which has sold over 12 million copies, Infinity Ward decided that the modern setting had become a "world of its own," and they dropped the Call of Duty prefix from the title.

Teaser Trailer

Release

On March 25, 2009, a few days after GDC 2009 had begun, Infinity Ward launched Modern Warfare 2's official site. At its initial stage, the website only displayed a green wave with nothing else on the page. With days still to come in GDC 2009, gamers expected that site will be slowly be expanded upon. Sure enough, the first official teaser trailer posted later that night.

Speculation

The first teaser trailer released truly was a teaser. Here, the purpose of the green wave is explained as it morphs into different silhouettes of people and objects, almost like a video in night vision goggles, but not as much can been seen. Players started to speculate some of the shapes that the wave changed into. The list included The U.S. Capitol Building, profiles of the main antagonists, an airport, civilians, perk icons (possibly including Stopping Power and Dead Silence), very urban streets and environments, a Blackhawk helicopter, snow terrain, men with scuba gear, a remake of Shipment, an oil rig, a Russian T-72, and even the now infamous teddy bear. Gamers also noted the presence of the airport and airplanes (including one that has crashed) could indicate the linking of Mile High Club to the next installment. Players also reasoned that the plane in Mile High Club may have crashed, and the game's events may pick up from there. One possibility is that the plane crashing may be a reference to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US. Also a ship is seen in the back ground at 1:24. A man with a british accent can be heard near the beginning.
