Is Bodycount the title of Codemasters upcoming FPS?

CVG reckons that Codemasters’ upcoming first-person shooter — the one with Black creator Stuart Black at the helm — may be called Bodycount.

The hunch comes from CVG piling together a bunch of information based on trademarks, including a UK trademark patent for Bodycount that was approved today. It also appears that Codemasters trademarked Bodycount in the United States last year, as well as in Japan not long after.

The plot thickens, but Codemasters tells CVG it “regularly applies for and registers trademarks relating to current, future and potential projects. We do not comment on the use of those trademarks until the appropriate time, such as a new title announcement.”

In other words, this is simply a lot of speculation on CVG’s part… or they’re on to something here.
