Call of Duty 6 Confirmed!
Activision has named practically its entire 2009 line-up at an in-game advertiser meeting, including Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Speaking at an ‘upfront’ meeting with in-game ad company Massive Inc. (responsible for the famous Obama Burnout Paradise ad), Activision named its 2009 games including tentatively titled Guitar Hero 5, a new Tony Hawk’s and Modern Warfare 2.
The sixth CoD game was already confirmed to be under Infinity Ward’s wing (and not World at War dev Treyarch), but this news thankfully confirms that number six isn’t the rumored sci-fi spin-off we were dreading.
No details on the game were released, though it was roughly dated for release in autumn 2009.
In the meeting, Activision also confirmed that in the new Tony Hawk’s “you’re not going to be playing this game with a controller in your hands.” It’s out on PS3, 360, Wii and DS in October. We smell a peripheral coming…
Bizarrely (ho ho), the publisher also confirmed PGR dev Bizarre Creations’ first Activision racer will be a James Bond game. In fact it’ll be an original racing game that’s been described as “Mario Kart meets Forza”. Read more on that here.
We spoke to Activision this afternoon but unfortunately the company wasn’t able to provide any further details about the new games. Don’t hold your breath either, as it seems unlikely there’ll be anything more on them until early next year, but don’t let that stop you speculating in the meantime.
This October comes the challenge of Modern Warfare and Battlefield: Bad Company. Medal of Honor of Electronic Arts is being released on October 12 and it will challenge both the games for the top spot in the FPS genre.
Last week at E3 gaming event the stills and multi-player footage were released. The footage bound to bring comparison with the MW2 and BBC2.
The styles of the game is similar to the MW2 and BBC2, but MoH appears to concentrate on points and not focus on kills as MW2 does.
Below is the footage of Medal of Honor:
