Call of Duty 4 is a straight-shooter, record-breaker
April 20th, 2008 |
Call of Duty 4 has sold over 9 million copies worldwide according to analysts at NDP Group.
Some big sales number is to be expected, as CoD4 has consistently been topping the charts in terms of online play. Here’s another shocker: over 1 million copies of the new map pack have also been downloaded.
Infinity Ward and Activision are also reporting that over 30 million game sessions have gone on since the map pack was released.
Congrats to them for the huge success on this title. I have to wonder, though, why they’re risking the Call of Duty brand with the fifth installment? Reports have been inconsistent, but word has been that the game will switch developers again, and that its going back to World War II.
That seems a little soon. Don’t let us down, Activision (or Activision Blizzard, as we’ll soon have to call you).

Holy Crap, I think i would have to kill myself if the Call of Duty franchise went back to WW2. (sarcasm on the killing myself part)
Why can’t Infinity Ward just develop the next one too. The other guys messed up CoD3 anyways.

While COD4 is a totally sweet game, there are a lot of players who still prefer the WWII theme and barely-or don’t even play the Modern Warfare theme…
I think with the advancements in technique of COD4, many new things can be applied to the WWII styled game… Honestly, it’s probably a good idea that they start working on it now… It sucks waiting for a sequel for so long… *Ahem* Duke Nukem *Ahem*
