Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has explained the reason behind dropping the hugely strong Call of Duty brand from the title of the Modern Warfare sequel.
“This is a direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare,” said Bowling. “That is what we are trying to get across to our audience. It’s not just another one in the Call of Duty franchise.
He added: “This has never happened in Call of Duty before. They’re typically their own campaigns and totally unrelated to the previous one. This one is a direct sequel and we just want to make that clear.”
Modern Warfare 2 is scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 10, 2009.
