We know Activision Blizzard loves sequels.

Just moments ago, the publisher revealed a slate of follow-ups coming this year at an Massive Inc. upfront attended by Stephen Totilo.

An upfront is where publishers showcase their upcoming lineup to advertisers and are a new practice for games. Upfronts occur every year for TV and movies.

This event is being held in downtown Manhattan to get advertisers pumped to buy more ads in games. Massive is a Microsoft-owned firm that did the Barack Obama ad in “Burnout Paradise.”

At the meeting, Activision Blizzard showcased new games that would make sense for in-game ads, including the vaguely titled “Guitar Hero 5,” which included a screen shot of gameplay with a Burger King ad to the right of the note highway.

The publisher confirmed rumors that “Tony Hawk” will be different this year. “You’re not going to be playing this game with a controller in your hands,” said the company. The new “Tony Hawk” arrives on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and DS in October.

Additionally, Activision Blizzard acknowledged the “Call of Duty” series will move forward yet again with “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″ coming this fall. No details on the game were released.

We’ve also heard rumors that Bizarre Creations was working on a racing-oriented “James Bond” game, which have turned out to be true. The original Bond adventure, not tied to a movie storyline, is coming this September. The former “Project Gotham Racing” studio is also working on an original racing IP for the publisher, which they tagged as “‘Mario Kart’ meets ‘Forza.’”

Curiously, the lineup included absolutely no Blizzard Entertainment games.

If any more news breaks from the Massive Inc. upfront, we’ll let you know.

Probably wont be one and guess why?

US got their ass kicked by skinny in black pajama's (those who watch Generation Kill will know this line )

Anyways glad to hear its coming back to Modern Warfare, COD4 is still a great game. Just hope they'll actually improve the engine abit so that it can actually render 720p instead of 600p

Probably wont be one and guess why?

However, there 'could' be sci-fi elements to it... that was the early rumors... Modern Warfare 2 perhaps set in 2015 - ?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 This Holiday
Activision Blizzard reveals next COD game coming near end of year.
by Jason Ocampo

February 11, 2009 - During its fourth quarter financial conference call on Wednesday, Activision Blizzard revealed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is due out this holiday season. This is the project that Infinity Ward has been working on, and it sounds like a direct sequel to its 2007 blockbuster hit.

Last year's Call of Duty: World at War, which was developed by Treyarch, was one of the year's biggest selling games, and helped in Activision's better-than-expected profits in the fourth quarter. This is in sharp contrast to the losses reported by the company's competitors.

Give Feedback on Modern Warfare 2 Via Twitter!



I’ve been advocating the power of Twitter pretty hardcore recently, especially the value in using it as a conversation tool and more importantly tracking those conversations and using the feedback contained within. That philosphy gave birth to http://twitter.infinityward.com . A Twitter web-app for tracking conversations and feedback for Modern Warfare 2 we’ve been developing behind the scenes.

The #MW2 app went live earlier today, and within an hour was already the #2 most talked about topic on Twitter (just behind American Idol). I was blown away with the response to our first question, “Name one thing you’d like to see in Modern Warfare 2″ .

However, the ability to see real-time feedback and conversations about Modern Warfare 2 feeding through the app is only the beginning. The best part is the ability to vote on suggestions and rise in the ranks on the Leaderboards. Allowing us to quickly check the top rated suggestions, and reach out to the users with the best suggestions to hopefully include them in future events, beta tests, or community days.

How can you participate?

First and foremost, you can follow me on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/fourzerotwo) and keep an eye out for the next question. It will also be visible at all times at http://twitter.infinityward.com under CURRENT QUESTION.

When a question is asked, all you have to do is tweet your answer / suggestion along with #MW2 .

What is #MW2?

#MW2 is the official Hashtag for Modern Warfare 2. Which means, anytime I,or anyone else, is talking about Modern Warfare 2 on Twitter, we’ll mark it with #MW2 so it can be tracked and included on the http://twitter.infinityward.com live feed as well as searched for on Twitter.

#MW2 Leaderboards

Once you’ve thrown your suggestion or comment about Modern Warfare 2 into the Live Feed, you can track and vote on other peoples suggestions, and track the top users on the #MW2 Leaderboard. It’s a great way to get recognized in the community and I’ll be using it to identify community members to reach out to in Call of Duty / Infinity Ward future events and projects.

Feedback on the App

This is a fairly unique social media experiment in terms of using it to solicit feedback for game design. So any comments, suggestions, or feedback on how to make the #MW2 app even better is always appreciated. I’m always looking for new ways to reach out to our players and strike up a conversation. Feel free to drop me a line at robert.bowling@fourzerotwo.com with any inquiries about the web app, or how you can help.

Some details have slipped out via an Infinity Ward Twitter page regarding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Apparently posted/twittered/tweeted (what is the right way of writing that?) by an IW play tester, the info has since been taken down and the offending twitterer banned and deleted. That could, of course, mean that the details listed after the jump are all nonsense, but we’ve run the info through the patented TVGB bull-o-meter and it smells fine to us.

There are some interesting details to be found on the list, amongst all the boring gun info. Take a look and you’ll find talk of new multiplayer modes, the addition of vehicles, a Halo-skulls style army tags system, a World at War-esque Zombie mode and online/offline co-op. Like we said, it’s interesting rather than surprising and if we were to base our expectations of Modern Warfare 2 on this info alone (a crazy idea, but one we’ll indulge for now), it looks like Infinity Ward are going for consolidation rather than revolution. Which is fine by us.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Looks Incredible, Hits This Holiday
By Brian Crecente, 11:00 AM on Wed Mar 11 2009, 57,805 views

Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is "looking incredible" and will hit this holiday season, according to Activision CFO Thomas Tippl.

Speaking at the Wedbush Morgan Securities annual meeting, Tippl said that Activision's strategy for "leap-frogging development" between two developers has been paying out with back-to-back blockbusters for them.

"Last year we had probably beaten most expert expectations by growing the Call of Duty franchise over the tremendous success that was the first iteration of Modern Warfare," he said. "For 2009, Modern Warfare is coming back, we expect it will be the most anticipated game of the year. Perhaps the number one game of the year despite the fact that it's only going to launch in the holiday season.

"There is no doubt in my mind that it will again raise the bar for the shooter genre.The game is looking incredible and Infinity Ward, the studio that is developing it, is just doing an unbelievable job."

New question on Modern Warfare 2 Infinity Ward Twitter!

What new locations would you like to see in Modern Warfare 2 (SP or MP)?

Go tweet ur reply by putting #mw2 before your tweet post. 

At the conclusion of the 9th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, Activision unveiled a new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The trailer (which can be viewed below) shows no real gameplay, but is instead a lengthy teaser.

The teaser seems to suggest that gamers may have access to a form of either LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) or sonar. In The Dark Knight, Batman used something similar to obtain a visual on enemies and civilians regardless of physical obstructions. Or it could just be a stylized trailer.

The trailer ends with a release date. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is shipping to stores November 10, 2009.

Here's another video that's just been released.....looks like a alternat view of the first one.....
