Is the Call of Duty back in Modern Warfare 2?

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo July 9th, 2009 at 3:55 PM    


Last week we told you how dropping the "Call of Duty" name from Modern Warfare 2 appears to have hurt the game a bit.  The latest tweet from community manager Robert Bowling, appears to tell a different story.

FourZeroTwo, Robert's alias, goes on to say that he "Just got the first Modern Warfare 2 boxes straight off the press."  He attached a pic.  Notice something?  Yup - it looks like the Call of Duty series name is back.  Looks like the name was more important than they thought.

 

 

Update:  Kotaku has gotten confirmation that this is indeed, the product's packaging.

Sweet, I hope it stays that way.

Why would they even want to remove themselves from the CoD brand?

Maybe they wanted to separate their work from Treyarch?

Two reasons why I call FAKE one is that the last two games' box art was chosen by fan vote, and the other is that the ActiVision logo is nowhere to be seen, which would be a first for a game that they publish.

that is odd... maybe that's not final? i used to work with a company that always printed stuff like that and put it on display so you'd get the full effect before doing the full order. seeing it on a computer screen or an uncut sheet of paper isn't quite the same as in the sleeve.

Why would the an Infinity Ward employee post "fake" box art?

I'm gonna have to side with bap on this one, fourzerotwo would have no reason to post fake boxart. His thumb could be over a smaller Activision logo for all we know.

It'll always be CoD6 to me I'm afraid.

Maybe it's just a draft. I'm probably wrong, but I just can't picture these on shelves.

To me it almost looks the exact same as the first game.

It could be the pre-order boxes.

VERY good point! These could simply be "Coming Soon" display boxes for pre-orders.

Yeah good thinking
