Activision has confirmed long-running rumours that Infinity Ward is working on a Call of Duty game in a contemporary setting.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will be unveiled on Saturday in the US courtesy of a trailer to play during the NFL Draft on ESPN. That's when they pick the teams, genius.
Early rumours about Modern Warfare - which even got the name right - pointed to a game that takes you all over the world, with the player working for the US Army, US Marines and SAS in a battle against terrorists underpinning a Middle Eastern conflict.
There were lots more rumoured details last March, although how much of that still stands will be tough to answer before Saturday's reveal - and Sunday and Monday's inevitable reposting on YouTube and elsewhere.
In the meantime, why not join in the merry chorus of shouting sceptics achingly unsurprised by the decision to "do a Battlefield" and move the formerly World War II-based first-person shooter series into a fictionalised setting? It's what all the cool kids are doing.
Expect more on platforms, details, and all the rest when we sober up on Monday.

"Hope they don't forget about the PC version this time ;-) "
even how much i love my pc , i will have to say this pc gaming is dying and you will have to blame M$ for this for putting out a new os and forcing people to buy it. forcing devs to devolp for something with a smaller userbase so putting new devs off making stuff for windows. |

Enjoying CoD2 on the 360 on veteran difficulty atm, and was actually quite interested in where the Call of Duty series was going next.
Modern warfare might be all fine and dandy, but please let the SAS missions be more than an afterthought. As the poster above me illustrated, I think more than the odd player is having diffuculties assuming the role of a lantern-jawed jolly american marine at this point in time -o ut on a crusade to save the world from terribly E B I L terrorists. Heck, as much as I have to admit GRAW 1 looked and played very nicely, I couldn't bring myself to play it, as every time that general or whatnot barked into the coms in some texan drawl or whatever I cringed, and cringed again, and put down the controller and went somewhere they don't bark in texan. |

I'd play as a german in a wargame in a heartbeat, doesn't mean I keep swastikas around the house and on me.
I've played many u-boat simulations as germans (the Das Boot connection probably made these palatable and interesting for many), but recently there has been a dearth of games in the third reich perspective. |

" Since when do developers have to develop for Vista. The whole point of PC gaming is that you can have a game run on XP and Vista. Can you mention a couple of games that require Vista to play. yes you can develop a game to take advantage of DX10 (eg crysis) but it still runs on XP. As for Halo 2, i might get it when i eventually migrate to vista sometime this year. |

Moan all you want, but it's the only logical step. You can't get rid of such a strong IP, but it's pretty much milked WWII for all its got.
Maybe move to the gulf war? |

There's plenty of WWII games that let you play as Germans. Day of Defeat, Red Orchestra, Close Combat, IL2 and so on; however I can't think of any singleplayer FPS games that do. I can't think of anything other than Counter-strike that lets people play as terrorists, though, which is a shame. One thing that can be said for most WWII games is that whoever you end up playing as, generally you'll not mind shooting whoever the enemy is, as they'll be either Nazis or Americans usually.

Don't forget COD itself, lets you play as Germans in MP. I am actually quite looking forward to this. GRAW I found to be a bit ploddy and the red diamonds around enemies is completely patronising. R6 is too much planning and too little action, hopefully COD4 will find somewhere nice to sit in-between. Plus, Infinity Ward did a great job with COD2 so this should be good... |

Modern Warfare 2 takes players to the snow-capped peaks of Russian mountains, across the deserts of Afghanistan and into the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and introduces a new co-operative Special Forces mode to back up the single-player campaign.
