That's right kiddos, Activision's hugely successful Call of Duty franchise is spawning another sequel limb with today's semi-official announcement that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is in development and set for release Fall 2009.
The announcement comes from a Microsoft sponsored Massive Inc. upfront where publishers showcase and talk about upcoming products to lineup advertisers prior to release. Activision didn't have any specifics to announce regarding the title, other than the fact that we'll be receiving a second helping of Modern Warfare late next year. -Xbox 360 Fanboy

Since it's not Call of Duty 4... it's technically 6, but they announced earlier this year that there'd no longer be numbered Call of Duty games. I'll probably get it, I dunno if I'd play it more than World at War unless it's better than the first MW was.
Yes, it could be. But, it had better be longer than the first and with enough new content to make it deserving of being a sequel, as opposed to an overpriced expansion.
I'm sure Infinity Ward can pull it off, but there's still the possibility.
It's going to be really hard to improve upon an already great game such as 4, but if anyone could, Infinity Ward could manage. I'll wait until some official screenshots / videos are out before I give an opinion.
Cornershot gun: Not like the GRAW one. I want the screen showing whats around the corner to be mounted on the gun. So essentially a screen within a screen. Here
Airburst munitions. IW could do it ik that. Youtube search airburst explosives. They're friggin amazing.
i think that some guns that should be added are sig p226s, what SAS really use, rpk, javelins on live, and you should be able to customize your m4 for each story mode mission. SOPMODs are meant for soldiers to modify them themselves. a problem that i think they should fix is the stopping power of guns in multiplayer. things like the g36, m4, and m16, and the SAW all fire a 5.56, but have totally different amounts of power. and things like the m14 and G3 which fire 7.62. and all the 9 mil guns are different. what other guns/perks do you think they should add
I don't understand the reasoning behind thinking this would be nothing more than an expansion pack.
They've been working on it since the release of COD4, they've already had a year to work on the campaign.
As for the MP I could see how some would call it an expansion pack. Hopefully the standard set of guns return from COD4, and we get a new set of guns in each class.
Not only that, but new perks, and a few different attachments would be nice, or at least more color combinations for your headshot challenges.
And there is a Call of Duty 6 thread floating around somewhere, maybe a mod could merge the threads.
Oh hey, anyone else notice how they're aiming for Fall '09? I wonder why... Oh, I know! Halo 3:ODST is supposed to be released in Fall '09! Coincidence? I think not.
We can expect an epic Battle of the Games in Fall. Oh, and nudge nudge wink wink some people think Assassin's Creed II and a new Battlefield game will come out around the same time.
Call of Duty 4 is still wiping the floor with Halo 3.
I'm sure the highly awaited sequel to Call of Duty 4 should have no problem with the next Halo game. Enough people were turned off by the tripe that is Halo 3.
COD MW2 isnt a sequel to WAW. Because WAW was a spinoff from the series basically since it was going back to WWII. Would you consider Halo Wars a sequel?
