There will be a Modern Warfare 3, unless Infinity Ward split from Activision somehow. But we won't be seeing it until next year - this is the year of Treyarch after all.
Well it's funny you should say that but Infinity Ward have been stripped of their ability to make any more CoD games, so the ex-CEO's pull off something special there may not be another MW.
Can you verify this information?

I voted don't care, but I know there will be, Activision are that greedy and even if Infinity Ward isn't the developer, they'll throw it to someone else. They've got two seperate Call of Duty franchises already and are apparently thinking of expanding it even further. They are the new EA it seems.

I just want to get to the point where there are really GOOD alternatives to that game because, as riddled with bugs, glitches and covered in bullshit as it is, the gameplay is actually a lot more enjoyable than any other shooter I've played.

Bring on Medal of Honor, I really hope EA do this right and Dice don't make the multiplayer a clone of Battlefield.

It's in the hands of Treyarch and Sledgehammer now, who knows what will happen to IW once the DLC is out of the way.
Fairly sure there was one quote stating that IW had been removed from CoD with the exception of the map pack but cant find it now.

Wow, so much MW2 hate here. I'm going to be controversial and FUCKING ENJOY SOMETHING FOR ONCE. God, I thought I was a jaded cynic but you people take the cake.

MW2 was great and has moved something like 25 million units, MW3 is on the way for sure. Current rumours though speculate that with the current issues between Infinity Ward and Activision, the game might be made by the mysterious third studio Activision have allegedly brought on board. This might even be the reason IW and Acti are fighting - apparently part of the argument was Activision trying to overturn the rule giving IW exclusive rights to produce modern-day CoD games.

All rumour of course.
There are reasons why we dislike it. First, the story was just crazy and unrealistic, playing like something out of a McCarthy era James bond ripoff. The more open environments and respawning enemies were often annoying as hell because you'd sit there for ten minutes killing the same enemies over and over again until you think it's safe only for another platoon to materialize the moment you turn your back. The gameplay didn't feel as strong and fun and the story was off it's rocker.
I'm not a fan of FPS's, but seriously man. You want a realistic story in a video game? Let's look at God of War? He kills the gods. Bioshock? That's unrealistic in so many ways. 99% of games have an unrealistic plot.

I didn't really have a problem with the open environments or the respawning enemies, but your mileage may vary. And saying the gameplay wasn't as fun is all a matter of opinion.

I get that you weren't frothing at the mouth at how terrible it was, this was more aimed all the people saying that MW2 is the worst thing since the Holocaust. Because it isn't.

For me, this is the greatest example yet that huge sales don't mean excellent and brilliantly made game. MW2's campaign was OK just OK, nothing special, and they just seemed to go for the shock factor at every opportunity.

The multiplayer is also full of holes, with poor netcode, game-breaking glitches and of course something that Infinity Ward couldn't help but cater for: the online community of complete morons and bitches.

After playing the game extensively, I just really get the impression that Infinity Ward did fuck all for most of the development 'cycle' and then just went "oh shit" with 6 months to go and finally got to work.

There must be games that are better made than this.

Honestly, ignore the character models and it easily could be
I dunno about everyone else, but that was hilarious, awesome, and intense! I totally want that as MW3.... And keep the bunnies... Bunnies fucking pwn.

Yes, there will be a new MW.

Yes, it will still be ridiculously over the top in its story and its set-pieces will still be 'Baysplosions', to use the 'kewl' term here.

And yes, I still won't care about the story and what have you.
For it entertains me and that is all I want from my games. That plus the occasional story and atmosphere but I've got FF XIII for the story and Bioshock 1 + 2 for the atmosphere.
Please define the word 'baysplosion' for me. I have no idea what it means and am now quite curious.
OT: Yeah, they're gonna milk this franchise for as long as they can. It's business.
I've played enough CoD games that I doubt I'll buy it. It's all kinda the same now, I may as well just pop in MW 1 and play through it again. Unless they really try to do something different, like have you play as the terrorist and blow up the Statue of Liberty or something. That, I'd buy.

Same assumption here... run with the name till no one wants to touch it with a ten foot pole. It is what they always do.

To be honest i don't care if they do or not, MW2 finished with the possibility of another game, but i couldn't care less.

At the end of the day you control a generic marine in different countries shooting slightly different costumed baddies in the face.

The multiplayer is pretty much the same as every other FPS ever, exept that people take pride in the fact that they got back to level one again, then they try to do it again.

As you can see i don't like FPS's that much.

It is a new name for anything that explodes in the most ridiculous of manners.
The term 'Baysplosions' was born out of Michael Bay's 'Transformers' which features a LOT of explosions.

Or at least, that is what I've worked out from the various comments around here.

Yeah there will be a MW3 and I'm the type of person who needs to see how a game ends. I'm very curious in what IW will come up with.

Hopefully it won't result in their liquidation - it's been rumoured they're working on a totally non CoD related game.

Well your news link more than verifies it for us.

I hope there will be MW3. MW2 sold so well that it would be stupid for Infinity Ward not to make it. I just hope that they can make the single player campaign longer and tighten up the story. As for multiplayer, I can't see how they can make it any better than MW2, but hopefully they won't screw it up.

I hope they hire some new writers if they do. The thing is that it could have been so great, but they just didn't polish it enough.

A few more things:

How much more mordern can you get?
How many times do you need to attack/get attacked by the middle east and russia?

If you kill the last guy with a handgun in MW1, and with a Knife in MW2, do you kill the guy in MW3 with a belt-grenade un-pin or something? Or perhaps throw a very large shoe at him/her?

I suppose if MW sells, they'll make another one. If it keeps selling they're happy. no matter what anyone says about how much of a wrong step it was. I believe.

I know that they'll make one. And they'll probably make it more expensive and add nothing new. They made so much money on Modern Warfare 2 that they'd have to do something.

I wish they would make a remake of Call of Duty 1 except just improving the graphics without using the crappy new engine.

I think they willl COD MW2 is a huge cash cow they need a game that can rake in money like that. Also the story ends with a cliff hanger.
