Call of Duty 4 with modern war setting in development

Call of Duty 3 is barely out the door and a Ampednews source has already revealed Call of Duty 4 is in development at Infinity Ward, the development team behind the first two Call of Duty games. Listed are the first details:

* Call of Duty 4 will be coming to the PC as well as consoles. Where as Call of Duty 3 is only available on consoles, as well as the PSP.
* It will be based on modern combat, taking place on the battlefields of present day Middle East.
* While most shooters have two or three critical points on the head, Call of Duty 4 has 16. You can shoot the side of an opponent’s helmet to make it spin on their head, or knock the helmet clean off. Supposedly you will even be able to shoot an enemy’s ear off.
* Multiplayer features matches with 54 players.

While this info seems very plausible, according to Xboxic, Activision declined to confirm or deny its authenticity.

Some more details: In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare you’ll serve as part of the U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, and British S.A.S. to take on terrorists loyal to an aggressive Middle Eastern dictator. This war on terror must be fought all over the world — in locations as diverse as vessels at sea in the North Atlantic, secret terrorist cells in London, the urban streets of Eastern Europe, and, of course, the Middle East — as you try to stop a terrorist coalition from using its deadly chemical arsenal.

As a pilot in an Army attack helicopter, you’ll fly over cratered urban environments — with rocket-propelled grenades to boot — before you rope down as part of a Marine platoon to engage in close-quarters combat in a very different sort of environment from Call of Duty 2. It’s in this door-to-door implementation of battle that similarities to Rainbow Six 3 and Splinter Cell start to become apparent as you fight in squads, rappel down walls, and clear rooms with silenced guns, tear gas, flashbangs, and various specialized goggles. That doesn’t prevent you from utilizing all manner of authentic modern weaponry, however, including automatic grenade launchers, mines, and machine guns.

Modern Warfare will also feature deformable environments, where you can kick down and blow up doors, or take it to another next level with destructible walls, roads, buildings, and bridges. You’ll also be able to block doors with heavy obstacles like vehicles or furniture and block windows from grenades with a little chicken wire. But you’re not just limited to shooting what’s within your firearm’s reach: you can call in and laser-sight air strikes to knock out those pesky enemy tanks and sniper’s nests, too.

The first trailer for the PC, PS3 & Xbox 360 game:

FCK MODERN WARFARE

THIS IS BULLSH*T, I MEAN, COD 4 TO MODERN WARFARE??? WTF. NOT ONLY SHOULD I THINK THIS GAME SHOULD BE A FLOP, BUT, WHO DA F*CK WANTS TO BUY THIS. THIS AIN’T FOR THE PS2 YET. AND LAST TIME I CHECKED IT WAS THE HIGHEST SELLING CONSOLE OUT OF EVERYBODY. SONY JUST WANTS U TO BUY A FUKIN PS3. LOL, LIKE WE HAVE FUKIN MONEY TO DISH OUT. ITS ALL ABOUT DA DOLLAR. NOT ONLY WAS THEIR PSP A FLOP, BUT THERE PS3 TOO. TOO MUCH FUKIN’ MONEY FOR THESE F*CKERS. XBOX IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER. BETTER GRAPHICS, BETTER SERVICE. I ONCE SAW A REPORT THAT XBOX TOOK A BIGGGGG LOSS OF MONEY JUST TO SATISFY THEIR CUSTOMERS BY RECALLING MILLIONS OF XBOXS. WTF HAS SONY DONE FOR US. THEIR PSP CANT DO FUK. THERE MUSIC PLAYER SUCKS, THE GAMES ARE OVERRATED. SHIT I SPENT OVER 400 FUKIN DOLLARS ON ACCESSORIES FOR DA PSP. WTF HAVE I GOTTEN??? I BOUGHT AN 8 GB MEMORY STICK JUST TO HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY TO ACCESS THE INTERNET. SHIT I CANT EVEN FUKIN SURF ON THAT MUTHA. MSN.COM WOULDN’T EVEN OPEN UP. NOT TO MENTION AOL, MYSPACE, AND YAHOO MUSIC. “NOT ENOUGH MEMORY”, LOL, WTF. USELESS CRAP. I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU F*CKERS. DONT NOTTTT BUY A PSP. REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANY1 SAYS. BOYCOTT FUKIN SONY. BUY A DS INSTEAD, AND AN IPOD FOR THE MUSIC PLAYER. I’LL COME OUT CHEAPER, YOU DON’T HAVE TO FUKIN’ BUY ACCESSORIES, AND PLUS, LOL, ITS BETTER. AND IF U WANT INTERNET. THE DS HAS IT. BUT THESE NOW CHEAP IPHONES ARE THE SOLUTION. AND TRUST ME, THE GAMES ON THE PSP ARE NOT ALL THAT GOOD. YES YES, GOOD GRAPHICS, LOL, BUT THE REST IS SHIT. DS HAS JUST A GOOD GAMES ON IT. OR….. U CAN WAIT ABOUT 2 YEARS FOR MICROSOFT TO BRING OUT THEIR HANDHELD CONSOLE. SHIT, I ALWAYS HATED MICROSOFT BECAUSE OF THEIR WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM AND SHIT ON THE COMPUTER…. NEVER GOOD SERVICE. BUT NOW MICROSOFT IS OUR ONLY SOURCE FOR GOOD PRODUCTS AT A GREAT PRICE. THAT HANDHELD CONSOLE SHOULD BE A BIG HIT AND PUT THE PSP IN SHAMBLES. NOW THE PS3. LOL, NOW REALISTICLY, WHO THE F*CK IS GONNA PAY 600 FUKIN DOLLARS FOR A CONSOLE. LOL. I EVEN KNOW RICH PEOPLE WHO WOULDN’T MESS WITH THAT SHIT. SOME SAY THE CONSOLE CAN ACT LIKE A COMPUTER. LOL. LETS SEE… WOULDN’T YOU FIRST BUY A COMPUTER, THENNNNNNN BUY A GAME CONSOLE. SO THAT COMPUTER FEATURE ON THE PS3 IS PRETTY USELESS. BLUE RAY DISK… LIKE ANYONE GIVES A ROTTEN F*CK ABOUT THAT. AND THE GAMES… XBOX MATCHES THAT F*CKER PIECE FOR PIECE, AND FOR ABOUT $200 LESS. BUT WAIT. DIDN’T THEY JUST CUT THE PRICE TO $399? LOL, JUST CHECK OUT THE FEATURES NOW WITH THE PRICE CUT. THOSE VEGETATED DUMBF*CKS TOOK OUT MOST OF THE GOOD FEATURES. LESS MEMORY, ETC… THEY NOW MADE THE PS3 MORE LIKE THE PS2, JUST WITH BETTER GRAPHICS. I HOPE TO GOD NONE OF YA’LL F*CKERS BE STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY THAT SHIT. BUY AN XBOX, AND YES XBOX HAS JUST AS MUCH GOOD GAMES NOW AS THE PS2/PS3. ITS A FACT. SO THATS NOT AN EXCUSE NOW. OR… SHIT, BUY A Wii, THATS GOOD TOO, BUY NOT ENOUGH GAMES THERE. Wii’s PRETTY CHEAP NOW, FOR THE WHILE, ITS IN HIGH DEMAND NOW. THAT BEING SAID, WHY THE F*CK WOULDN’T THEY MAKE COD4 FOR THE PS2??? AWWWWWWW. SONY STRUCK A DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPERS OF COD. THAT WAY, WE WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO FORK OUT 400+ DOLLARS. NOT TO MENTION, BUYING THOSE $60 GAMES TOO, AND THE ACCESSORIES. SMART, HUH? AND SONY WILL KEEP ON DOING THAT TO ALL NEW GAMES…. NONE AVAILABLE FOR THE PS2. YES, MY FRIENDS. THE WORLD’S CURRENTLY BEST SELLING CONSOLE, THE PS2, WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THE NEWEST GAMES, CAUSE SONY WANTS MONEY, AND THEY WANT BIGGGGG MONEY FROM YOU. THEY ONCE SAID, FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON YOU (STUPID SHIT PRESIDENT BUSH GOT IT MIXED UP, LOL) WELL, THE PSP FOOLED A LOT OF U F*CKERS, I MEAN, I HEARD PPL SAYING THEY COULD USE THE PSP AS A WAY TO CHECK THEIR EMAILS ON WORK. LOL. THEN, THE PS3 CAME OUT. WANNA BE FOOLED AGAIN??? JUST SWITCH TO XBOX. AND NO, IM NOT GETTING A PS3. F*CK, IF SONY WANTS ME TO BUY THEIR F*CKIN GAMES, I SUGGEST THEY MAKE COD4 FOR THE PS2, AND I MEAN, LIKE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. CAUSE MR. CLAUS IS GONNA BE KNOCKING ON MY DOOR. MIGHT BE AN XBOX, MIGHT BE A Wii, MIGHT BE A NEW CAR, SHIT MIGHT BE A NEW GF (JUST GIMME HER AFTER XMAS, SO I DON’T HAVE TO SPEND SHIT ON HER). OK OK. BACK TO COD. CONCERNING COD 4, I THINK ITS A BADDDD IDEA JUST TO ENTER MODERN WARFARE LIKE THIS, I KNOW ITS A BAD IDEA. AND I HOPE YOU GUYS SHOW YOUR DISPLEASE TO THE COD DEVELOPERS BY NOT BUYING THEIR GAMES AND PROTESTING IT IN MANY COD BLOGS. THAT’LL GET THOSE F*CKERS ATTENTION. HOW THE HOLY F*CK U GONNA GO FROM WW11 TO MODERN WARFARE. WE DON’T WANT ANOTHER F*CKIN GEARS OF WAR. OR HALO, FOR THAT MATTER. WWII WAS A BIG HIT. THAT IS WHAT WE ASSOCIATED COD WITH. I MEAN, YOU HAVE SO MUCH FUKIN SCENES TO CHOOSE FROM. I MEAN. THAT MOTHER FUKIN THING WAS 6 DAM YEARS LONG. THATS LONGER THAN THIS CURRENT MISLED WAR IN IRAQ, AND THAT SEEMS FOREVER. YOU HAD SO MUCH SCENES TO CHOSE FROM, LIKE SAY… THE PACIFIC??? I MEAN, U COULD OF HAD LIKE PLANES AND SHIPS AND SHIT ON THAT GAME. MAYBE THE GERMAN’S SIDE OF THE WAR THEY STARTED, WHAT ABOUT THE RUSSIAN’S CAMPIAGN. GET OUT OF FUKIN FRANCE. YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO TURN SOMETHING GREAT INTO A HIT. LET’S SAY MAYBE ITALY, OR FOR FUKIN GOD’S SAKE, FINLAND… WHEN THEY HELD OFF THE EVIL RUSSIANS IN ‘39. I MEAN, U COULD HAVE MADE IT HAPPEN. AND YOU KNOW THE THING ABOUT IT. YOU HAVE JUST ABOUT EVERY COD FANS SUPPORT ON WWII. WE WEREN’T PUSHING FOR MODERN WARFAR. THERES A SHITLOAD OF GAMES ABOUT THAT TODAY, WITH VERY GOOD GRAPHICS TOO. F*CK, SOME FANS EVEN SUGGESTED GOING BACK TO WWI. U COD DEVELOPERS FUKIN DISGRACE ME. U MAKE ME WANT TO PUKE. U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. AND I KNOWWWWW, I KNOWWWWWW, VEITNAM WOULD BE A MEGA SMASH. I MEAN, IT’LL ADD CONSTROVERSY TOO, WITH PEOPLE THINKING THE GAME IS TOO SENSITIVE TO VETERANS AND SHIT. OTHER POSSIBLE SCENES INCLUDE THE KOREAN WAR, THE IRAQI WAR IN ‘90 (WHICH THERE WAS A WHOLEEEE LONG MOVIE ABOUT, MAKING A GAME WOULDN’T BE HARD FOR THIS), THE ‘03 IRAQI WAR. I THINK U SHOULD HAVE DONE TWO MORE GAMES ON WWII, MAYBE GO BACK TO WWI FOR ONE GAME, WHICH I SHOULD ADD WWI PUT COD ON THE MARKET, THEN GO TO THE KOREA WAR, WHERE YOU COULD HAVE ADDED SHIPS AND SHIT, THEN VEITNAM, MAYBE THEN MODERN WARFARE OR SOME GAME TRYING TO FEND OFF TERRORIST IN THE MIDDLE EAST, I DON’T KNOW (THE WAR ON TERROR IS FAKE, BY THE WAY, ITS JUST PROPOGANDA FOR THE US GOV. TO INVADE IRAQ, FACT, LOOK IT UP). THERES LIKE 5 OR 6 GAMES YOU COULD’VE MADE BEFORE U MADE IT TO MODERN WARFARE. AND IF U THINK I AM BEING NUTTS, UMM. EVERYONE WANTS COD TO BE IN WWII. ONLY FEW WANTS TO GO TO MODERN WARFARE. JUST CHECK OUT SOME OF THE COD POLLS.JUST CHECK THIS OUT. JUST SAYING, IF COD DEVELOPERS WAITED AT LEAST 3 OR 4 GAMES LATER TO BRING MODERN WARFARE, IT WOULD HAVE BETTER SUITED THE POLITICAL AND PHYSCHOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT OF THAT TIME. WHAT I AM SAYING IS, IF U WAIT 4 OR 5 GAMES LATER TO BRING OUT COD 4, THAT’S BE AT LEAST 8-10 YEARS FROM NOW (DEC. 07). IT TAKES ABOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS FOR COD TO RELEASE A NEW GAME. THAT’D IN PROBABLY 2017-2018, THE WORLD WOULD BE A WORLD DIFFERENT PLACE. WE’D BE PAST TWO PRESIDENTS, IRAN WOULD PROBABLY BE ATTACKED, SHIT THERE MIGHT A A DICTATOR IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE MIDDLE EAST WOULD NOW BE THE WWII AREA. THERE WOULD BE CONFLICT AND SHIT THERE. HECK, AMERICA MIGHT NOT BE A WORLD POWER THEN, RUSSIA AND CHINA WOULD BE GROWING SUPERPOWERS, AND THEN U RELEASE MODERN WARFARE, NOT TO MENTION AFTER 5 PREVIOUS HITS, TWO COVERING WWII, WITH BETTER GRAPHICS, ONE COVERING WW1, I THE KOREAN WAR, 1 THE VIETNAMESE WAR, AND ALSO TO ADD. GRAPHICS WOULD BE BETTER AS TIME GO ONE. I MEAN, FUK, COD WOULD BE A DYNASTY. IT WOULD ONLY SEEM NATURAL TO FOLLOW A F*CKING TIMELINE OF HISTORICAL WARS LEADING TO PRESENT DAY. BUT NOOO, COD MUST JUMP TO MODERN WARFARE. SOMETHING GEARS OF WAR IS ALREADY DOMINATING, WHAT NEXT?? COD FIGHTING ALIENS??? LMAO. YEAR, HALO TERRITORY. COD DEVELOPERS SUCK, I HOPE THEY EAT SHIT AND DIE. I HOPE THEY GET BLOATED TO THEIR KNEES. THEY DON’T KNOW F*CK HOW TO MAKE A GAME SERIES. I HOPE GEARS OF WARS STUMP THEM. THAT SAYING. BECAUSE OF MY ADDICTION TO COD 2 AND 3 IN THE WWII SETTINGS, I MIGHT GET IT IF IT COMES OUT FOR THE PS2. BUT IF ANOTHER GAME AS GOOD GRAPHICS COMES OUT WITH A MODERN WARFARE SERIES THAT YOU’RE ADVERTISING NOW, OR A WWII SERIES, COD, U CAN KISS MY ASS GOODBYE. JUST MY THOUGHTS, U STUPID F*CKERS…

dude you are f*cking stupid first of all cod4 is the best f*cking game ive played in a long time second you cant count we were in ww2 (not ww11 thats world war eleven not two think you mean WWII) for about four years (give or take) and the war on terrorism (not iraq) started in 2001 so that would be lets count them 1 2 3 4 5 and going on 6 years last of all (and sorry for those how arent *ssholes) you did not even really
mention the game you just bitch about sony and how you cant aford to have nice things like the rest of us …but any ways cod4 is one of the best games ever made lets start on single player from the very start it pretty much throes you in to the action given there is a short traning level but its very quick (and very helpful on the net level) after that your in the bush huntin charlie and antoher major plus is its a farly damn long game (at least for a shooter) and its the first time in a game ive ever used an AC-130 specter gunship which is peerrdy daarn cool if you ask me… now on to multiplayer its nothing like halo and its sure as hell is nothing like gears ITS NOT EVEN IN 3RD PERSON…… hell its not even like rainbow and frankly its just f*ckin great given the spawning is kinda messed up and some minor stuff like the but hey weve all got our problems also its got the whole rank system and whats more????? prestege mode at level 55 you have the option to do it again m and get a cool little do-hicky rank thing so that the game never gets boreing like rainbow and gears and halo and should i go on …… i think not so i bid you goodday sir
