Settle down guys. Everyone knows the likelihood of a sequel is directly proportional to the success of the previous entry in the series, and since MW2 smashed all the sales records ever set in the entire history of anything (no accounting for taste though), a sequel is as assured as the sun rising in the morning.

Here you go... It's not exactly CoD: Medieval Warfare, but it's damn close.

Uhm, why? I mean... The ending of 2 was no ending... I need a sequel... Don't give a fuck what happens to soap, but my dear Price and Nikolai! Noooooo!
How dare you insult Soap....YOU ARE DEAD TO ME!
How can you not have Captain "Soap" McTavish's bust watch over you as you sleep at night?!
This might come as a blow, but I don't really mind being dead to you:s

Also, It's time to realize not everyone likes the same things... Me for example don't care much for Soap and his silly hair...
Yea...it was a joke...

Modern warfare 2 sucked in my opinion, with a lot of downfalls. Being an obvious port to the PC really didn't help it in any way.

They'll make it. They will be robbing themselves of a billion dollars if they don't.

Yeah, and Bungie was going to retire the Halo series. Like any game company is going to stop before a cash cow is bled dry.

I can see Treyarch screwing up Modern Warfare 3 very easily.

They'll replace Captain Price's mustache with a beard.

This rumour is probably rubbish, which is too bad. Yes, that's right, Modern Warfare 2 fanboys, too BAD.

I've yet to see a Call of Duty game I found fun in any way. I've played them and kept an open mind, I've seen other people call MW2 the best game, but I still feel like the designers were so busy making it realistic that they forgot to put the fun in.

Realistic combat might impress military wannabes who feel big when they beat opponents in multi-player, but that's about as far as the appeal goes. And since most people play very badly, the admiration for such games is created merely from admiration for the 5% of players, who win regularly and therefore play better than the lowly masses. Everything else is the work of the PR department at Infinity Ward.

If Infinity Ward makes other games and leaves Call of Duty to someone else, there's a small chance that it will be crap enough even for the people who always win in multi-player to realise that these games never WERE that good.

The last two games, at least, were horribly flawed from any objective critical standpoint not previously supercharged by hype and exposure to other fans of the game. Bad dialogue, very short single player, checkpoint systems forgiving enough to be called "mum", and enemies that are (probably to balance out the checkpoints) given aim bots on the same level as Insane difficulty in Unreal Tournament 2003, which can shoot you through environmental things like grass that human players can't even see through, aren't the kind of aspects one would ascribe to good design, yet there they were. A decent multi-player is the only thing these games had going for them, and without dedicated servers, that one strength went out the door.

So, here's to a potential early end for Call of Duty, a franchise that lived long enough to get hyped up, and yet never matured except graphically. The King is dead, long live the King - in fanboy's hearts.

Did you try Zeno Clash? While not perfect, the first person fighting actually worked pretty well.
The problem with medieval combat (if trying to be accurate to some degree) is that it's a lot more then just 'swing sword at target' (aka Oblivion), and so a vast amount of the movement would be completely lost due to where the camera is situated.

Mount and Blade had a better approach to this although had some other major flaws which let the whole thing down somewhat.

IW can do Tetris 2 for all I care.

Hey, perhaps they WILL release dedicated servers for that!
But then they couldnt force DLC on people.
Sure they could!

Step 1:Release game with brown blocks.

Step 2:DLC 1:Green blocks
DLC 2:Blue blocks
DLC 3:Red blocks

And so on and so forth.

Step 3:After maybe 15 DLC packs, you'll get the Premium DLC packs with colors like "Mint Green" and "Sea Blue". They're the same color as the regular DLC, but come with a bigger pricetag and better name!

HELL YEAH!

Make Medieval Warfare for SURE! But still make MW3, you have to still make MW3.

And if you DO make Medieval Warfare, still let us use predator missiles, I'd love to see the look of horror on those Medieval bastards when a predator missile streaks down and blows the fuck out of half of their army!

EDIT: All of the PC users who HATE MW2 WITH A PASSION! Just because of some of Infinity Ward's new policies are (in my opinion) mostly whiny douchebags with a ridiculous ability to hold a grudge. Yes they made you pay ten dollars more, yes they dropped dedicated servers, yes both of those things suck, yes you should be angry.

No you should not be THIS angry, and no you should not think the game is the "biggest fail of an FPS ever!" or that Infinity Ward is "The worst company EVER!"

Here's what you do:
1.) See what they did to PC users
2.) Get pissed
3.) After a couple of days or a week or two admit that it is overall a good game
4.) After a couple of days or a week or two admit that the company has *some* merits
5.) let rage simmer down to annoyance
6.) Buy or don't buy future IW products based on level of annoyance
7.) In extremely angry cases maybe write a letter or something

Here's what you DON'T do:
1.) See what they did to PC users
2.) Get pissed
3.) Get more pissed
4.) Throw a fucking tantrum
5.) Make a website called ModernWarFAIL.com (seriously, how fucking immature is this?)
6.) Use website to engage in a massively overblown "gamers scorned" smear campaign
7.) Call it the "worst FPS in history!!1!1" (A lot of people)
8.) Call Infinity Ward the "worst company in history!!1!1" (a lot of people)
9.) Make a petition (MWfail.com)
10.) Make another petition (MWfail.com)
11.) Send a $60 check to a rival company (some crazy dude)
12.) Spam their forums in an attempt to create disorder (MWfail.com)
13.) Try to create cheats and hacks to prove the game is unstable and sucks (MWfail.com)
14.) Throw another bigger fucking tantrum
15.) Never give up your uncontrollable rage, and call everything related to IW the worst thing ever, forever, with no regard to the actual quality of the product in question.

Due to serious melee technicalities, first person medieval combat will always suck.
No-one says it has to be FPS (first person sworder) it could easily work as a third perosn game. Imagine combat as a mix between hack'n slashers like ninja gaiden and GoW and figthers like tekken and SF. Add the team play and more tast paced combat of shooters and there you go.

This thread is very misleading, and I think that is pretty irresponsible of the OP

It is titled "Infinity Ward Not Making Modern Warfare 3" With no question mark or anything, and not until you enter and read it do you figure out this is just some completely unconfirmed rumor that is stated as pure fact in the thread title.

I think whoever posted this is just looking to make a popular thread, and did a pretty seedy thing with the title in order to increase viewers.

I really dont get why people need a conclusion after mewtwo, price and soap (who has stupid hair) both lived, saved by nikolai. They the obviously lived out the rest of their lives tending rice paddies in the indonesia. As for Zakaiev(sp?) they said many, many times throughout the game that there will always be someone to be the bad guy, i.e. no matter how many dictators or terrorists you brutaly execute there will be more, so no conclusion can be had.

I think mewtwo was a great finale and that some sort of sandbox vietnam game would be awesome, like farcry 2 but good. instead of farcry's a full mag or a headshot to kill it could be a few bullets to the torso.

John Funk is a columnist for the site, this is in the news room, he doesnt get a badge for this. You've made almost nine hundred posts on this site and still have no idea whats happening.
