Call of Duty 4 Announced
The fourth title in the extremely well received Call of Duty series has been announced. Infinity Ward is now working on Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat . The title will end the series' reliance on the theatre of World War II, and will place gamers into a current-day setting fighting terrorists in the Middle East. While the chance to get away from WWII will be appreciated by game-players, not everyone is happy about that hackneyed title. "What followed [Medal of Honor] were such games as Day of Defeat (Activision, 2003) and Men of Valor (Vivendi, 2004.) Ubisoft briefly bucked the trend, boldly replacing the near-mandatory 'of' with 'in' for its 2005 release 'Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30,' but soon fell right in line with the rest of its industry brethren with the 2006 real-time strategy game Faces of War. Ditto for THQ's 2006 RTS game Company of Heroes. Later this year, retail shelves will be graced with THQ's Frontlines: Fuel of War and Midway's Hour of Victory. (That's why for the last couple of years, we and a number of our peers have jokingly created our own World War II game titles, Mad Libs-style, like Call of Honor, Men of Duty, Company of Brothers, etc.)"

Did I miss CoD3

It was a console thing wasn't it?

It doesn't seem to say whether this one is or not.

wiki says it does do PC this time.

Hopefully it won't suck as hard as cod2

Ugh.
Looks like all hope of a shiny UO is lost then.
What are they going to do with this that will set it apart from the other modern combat FPSs?

The inclusion of Purple People Eaters.*



*May not be true

CoDs seem to just be slipping out faster and faster these days.

I doubt they're any good.

I'm now considering Call of The Day of the Tentacle. It would be win.
