Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Footage [66]

Activision has just announced a rack of new titles to potential advertisers, according to MTV (we’ve not had any press releases yet), most of which are sequels to their own massive brands like Call of Duty.  Fans of CoD 4 will be happy to hear that the next ‘Duty will be a direct follow up to Modern Warfare and will be back in the capable hands of Infinity Ward.  

To woo advertisers, the games were shown with adverts in place – for example, Guitar Hero 5 was shown with a Burger King banner to the right of the main game.

Following on from the slightly crappy Tony Hawk Motion on the DS, the console versions of Tony Hawk 10, due next October, will be played via some kind of peripheral.  ”You’re not going to be playing this game with a controller in your hands,” said the company. 

There’s also rumours that Activision’s Bizarre Creations, developers of the 360 based Project Gotham Racing series, are working on two racing games – the first is a James Bond themed title, the second is some kind of original idea currently tagged “Mario Kart meets Forza”.  No other details on the games were released, but interesting stuff.

  1. Me like racers and Bond before the Solace… so a race game themed by Bond.. sounds nice..


  2. I have no idea why, but I don’t like CoD. They come out with games way too often, and I am pretty damn sure that if they give every game some more time, they will be even greater.

    I do NOT like Tony Hawk after number 3. The three first games were awesome. They have promised that the next Tony Hawk game will beat the crap out of SKATE though, so I guess I’ll have to try it. I have doubts.

    I haven’t gotten GH Wourld Tour yet, I’ll have to try that one before getting more, Legends of Rock were awesome, although I missed a lot of songs.

    James Bond are great movies, but no game, other than Golden Eye on the N64, is good games in my honest opinion.

    They are probably great games if you like them, but none of those are “have-to-get-as-soon-as-possible” games for me.


    • The thing about the COD series is that the dev team has been different on the last two games, meaning each team has had nearly two years to get the game as great as can be. How much longer should they spend on them?


  3. I love COD so this is good news. Used to like Tony Hawk, but i’ve not been as keen on the latest ones. Some good stuff coming.


  4. Tony Hawk is a bit of a mess now, every game they release is a bit predictable and uses the same ideas over and over again. I used to be a huge fan of the game but gave up a bit when the underground games came out.

    As for COD, when do they actually stop? I mean, when will the day come when they say this is the last in the series. Or will it just keep going and going…


  5. Oh god, A nice new peripheral for TH….great :/


  6. Mario Kart meets Forza?
    That’s chalk meets cheese then!


  7. surely this infinity ward vs treyarch thing is a moot point now? Treyarch seem to have redeemed themselves havent they? or are they doomed to be dissed forever


    • considering cod5 is not even close to the awesomeness of cod4 (imo of course) they are doomed to more dissing from me yet thats for sure :P


      • I totally agree. was trying to convince myself it was good. played cod4 the other day and have now sold my copy of cod5 at a profit. goot times


  8. Bring back “Thrasher”!


  9. I loved COD4 and was unsure about WAW, got it and was surprised, sure the characters and story are not as engaging as those in COD4 but it is still a damn good game.


  10. Fuck Treyarch, when are they going to stop making COD games, they push PS3 to the back of the pack and don’t give us double XP weekends whereas 360 & PC get it this weekend, exactly the reason why I didn’t buy WaW and I’m still playing COD4… :x


  11. My main problem with WAW apart from the average story and daft AI, was afetr ploughing my way through this MTV stylee version of WW2 i find Treyarch have dedicated it to the “veterans who humble and inspire us… Sempi fi”. What a cynical line of bullshit.
    As you’ve guessed i’m not a big fan of the game and aleady traded it in. Infinity Wards sequal is something i’m looking forward to… If i ever get tired of COD4 that is ;)


  12. NO WORLD WAR II ANYMORE! There is a god!


  13. I actually wrote a story on this as well, over at http://www.psforum.no

    Of course you guys wouldn’t understand a thing, as it’s in Norwegian.


    • OMGWTFBBQ I didn’t know you were Norwegian too. :D Burde ha skjønt det på brukernavnet ditt da. xD


      • We’re not the only ones either, they are lurking in the shadows of the forums.


  14. I’d be interested to see Infinity Ward do a COD on Vietnam. Yeah, the U.S. lost, but at least you could laugh at the backs of the French running in the other direction before you’re annihilated by guerrilla warfare.


  15. So we are getting an another amazing new CoD, a very long Guitar “advert”, Tony Hawks: Milking It and Bond racing. 1 in 4s good, right?
