Modern Warfare 2′s Name Explained

Lots of gamers are wondering why Infinity Ward has removed the Call of Duty from Modern Warfare 2‘s name. There where lots of rumors flying around about it when first announced, but nothing concrete was ever found. Well, MTV Multiplayer asked Infinity Ward directly: Why the name change? Watch the video after the break for IW’s explanation.
no video shws up ?!?!?!?!

Video shows up fine for us. Could be any of your browser plug-ins causing the problem.

Comes up with a message saying ‘MTV.COM VIDEO CANNOT BE VIEWED OUTSIDE THE US FOR COPYRIGHT REASONS’ :s

Yeah, looks like only people inside the USA can view the video. Sorry for the inconvenience.

They could have just called it “Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare 2″, instead of just dropping the Call of Duty altogether..

@RedRedRed – I don’t agree, I think they saw that the ‘Call of Duty’ series as a name had run it’s course unlike some developers *cough*Final Fantasy*cough*, so taking up the mantle of Modern Warfare 2 is, in my opinion, a great refreshing change to saying ‘cod’.

Well to me, i see it more like a way for IW to cash in on how popular Cod4 was..nothing to do with a refreshing change to say “cod”
