Infinity Ward’s community manager Robert “fourzertwo” Bowling just tweeted a picture of Modern Warfare 2’s retail boxes. According to Bowling, these pups just came off the press and apparently, ‘s--t just got real.’
But wait a second ... is that a Call of Duty we see above the Modern Warfare 2 logo? We’ve witnessed a lot of waffling from Activision about adding and subtracting the Call of Duty brand from Modern Warfare. The publisher flat out told us not long ago that the game would not have the Call of Duty name attached to it.
Looks like we may have our final answer: Modern Warfare 2 is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

i was hoping that "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2" would make the cut.
They were fools not to include it in the first place. You can't take the subtitle of a game and make it the real title
Seriously, they were going to release a game called "Modern Warfare 2" To us, we know what it is, to the stupid backwards visor bro Madden players, I doubt they'd know the same
What would have been next?
Fantasy Adventure 2? Oh yeah, that sounds like fun.
@Magnalon - I liked it too, but look at this: http://www.google.com/trends?q=modern+warfare%2C+call+of+duty&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
And its just series recognition, they really do need to keep that name there.
Yep! I really should have noted that unfortunately, they should make the smart business decision, as a business, and keep the brand awareness.
I just think it would have been a neat gamble in order to differentiate to two brands.
Im going to buy it and play it.
Only u guys really care for the name, they care about attention. Having the name call of duty is just a smart move.
If u were the one to decide, and if it would have any effect on your pay check, I AM 100% sure u would do the god damn same thing.
STOP BITCHING.
Who is with me?
I love the cover too.
Either way, I don't really care provided the game is good.
