Rumor: Modern Warfare 2 Delayed till December

ConnectedConsoles: Part of our trusted team has just discovered a picture on the CodNation forums that could indicate that Modern Warfare is delayed. The picture indicates someone having a conversation with Infinity Ward Community Manager Robert Bowling (A.K.A. FOURZEROTWO).

[ape007]

F***??

[WildArmed]

nah. Activision wouldnt delay their biggest hit.
Also considering they really emphasize the 11/10/09 date.
And COD always comes out in Nov =/

[deadreckoning666]

Oh sh!t, they wanna make it better! Probably to add a cinema mode like Uncharted 2. YES!!

[militant07]

didnt the game go GOLD?

[y0haN]

@deadreckoning666

You do realise "cinema" is just Theatre from Halo 3? If IW were going to copy that feature, they would have done it by now. And put it in CoD4.

[DarkArcani]

Just as plausible I think.

[RAZORLAND]

Happy now?

[orakga]

"You do realise "cinema" is just Theatre from Halo 3? If IW were going to copy that feature, they would have done it by now. And put it in CoD4."

And you do realize CoD4 came out only 2 months after Halo 3, right?

[FACTUAL evidence]

kinda hoping this rumore was true...still need to get demon's soul, uncharted 2, ratched and clank:ACIT, tekken 6, and forza 3!

[omni_atlas]

But its delayed for the PC, so FU activision

[Syronicus]

Besides, The United States Marine Corps was put into action on November 10th and this game was to release on that day in honor of that special day. There is no way they will delay this game.

[shadowwizard]

Fake, thanks for trying...

[y0haN]

Notice the guy's name is f0urzer0tw0, not fourzerotwo.

Fake.

[Nitrowolf2]

lol this is fake
idk but that kind of a weird question asked "so your saying the game might get delayed"
after they say right in that comment it that it is.
i don't think this is real anyway

[Fishy Fingers]

So easy to fake.

[woolley]

Are they talking about the PC or the console version

[AliTheBrit]

'The F*CK indeed

Oh man... the internet is about to explode if this is true lol

[ballsofsteel]

most likely not true considering how hard IW hasn't been advertising the 11 10 09 date if anything it's probably a delay for japanese or Australian version

[BonhamZ0S0]

haha very funny. But April Fools was a couple of months ago...

[Ron_Burgundy]

well F*** Infinity Ward and Activision if this is true, all that promise of a release date at the end of there trailers

if this is true, Mw2 can kiss my a**

[_Q_]

If true. But think about it folks this season is packed with fun. Its still gonna be huge.

[SuperSaiyan4]

They are discussing on increasing the price even more since still many people are going to pay the extra for a game that uses the same engine...

[Fishy Fingers]

It's incredibly rare for a sequel in the same generation to use a different engine. Can you even name one?

[Bloodraid]

I believe he meant major upgrades to the Engine.

Resistance 2 - Although not as fun as the first, was a major upgrade engine wise.

Uncharted 2 - Major upgrade over the original's engine.

Modern Warfare 2 - CoD4 Engine with a few tweaks.

[RockmanII7]

Halo 3 --> Halo Reach. Sure it's a prequel but it still counts.

[swiftshot93]

yup, I think Ill actually die if this is true.

[SolidSystem]

That conversation looks so fake... too scripted.

[Foxgod]

Hehe, they should delay it to 2010 to screw over those all those other devs that delayed their games :P:P

[SolidSystem]

that would be pretty funny.

"you ran from the fight... so we brought it to you!"

[WildArmed]

ah but GoWIII and FFXIII will be tough competition for even IW.
I dont think they wanna hurt their sales that bad

[DARK WITNESS]

i don't think it will happen. not now... whatever short comings the game may have I think they will patch. Thats the beauty of this gen.

why worry about the downward cost of having to actually break deadlines, put more work in and rescources to finish a game properly when you can release a half finished game, patch a bit so its at least playable... and if the masses are not happy, throw in a patch or two 6 months down the line. I mean it's not like we the gamers really matter that much, we will buy any crap thrown at us with Sh$t on it anyway.

anyway, on a serious note, i don't think it will get pushed back. not one bit. Mr kotic wants his christmas money. him and his fatcats

[bananasNmonkeys]

I can tell this is fake because if you notice the fourzerotwo user name is actually spelt fourzer0two. robert bowling dosnt use the number zero in his "tag" even check his twitter

http://twitter.com/FourZero...

[mrv321]

More time to play Uncharted 2, so that makes it infitinity hours.

[Relientk77]

infinity?

[Relientk77]

if this wasn't fake this would totally suck

and piss alot of people off

[Captain Tuttle]

Please...

[ZombieStalker]

Lets take a look at the facts. 1. Game release is 4 weeks away. In order to go Gold and meet that date, they would have to make the decision very soon, if not already. 2. Testing the physics engine at this late in the game seems very odd. 3. As others have said, the Nov. date is plastered everywhere. 4. Delaying until early December would be suicide in regards to holiday sales. 5. This type of information (possible ship delay) is something that I am sure is kept very secret to prevent a media storm. Lastly, "Community Manager", if he is legit, would be legally bound not to discuss such a serious matter. I would wait for official notification.

Sounds like a media gathering event if you ask me.

[JustinSaneV2]

f0urzer0tw0?

Notice the o's are replaced by 0's?

I call fake.

[JustinSaneV2]

And I apparently called right.

[R_A_LEE20]

I'm pritty sure a saw an article today saying that COD:MW2 has gone Gold.

[R_A_LEE20]

Here it is:

[farhsa2008]

well considering game of the year goes to uncharted 2 automatically, its a wise decision to delay it as far away from 2009 as possible.

[Qazdaz]

If it's real, good.

[FwanK]

Rumor

Halo vs Killzone (the game)

[StanleyCup19]

Just confirmed fake by bowling's twitter

[sikbeta]

Is fake, read the update

[Mikelarry]

that was a close one i was about to go BANZAI!!!!! on IW and Activision.

[Kushan]

I know for a FACT that this game is going through CERTIFICATION right now. That means its currently in the hands of Sony/Microsoft and assuming there's no TRC issues, it'll go gold. In fact, it probably has by now as I've heard of no issues from any of the testers I know at Sony.

If there was a problem like this, it'd be patched on launch day instead.

[N2NOther]

I case this slipped anyone's mind, all the CODs have come out on or around Veteran's Day. I wonder why that is.

[jack who]

sum one wanna make a yahoo acc with the name FOURZEROTWO so we can talk bout stuff and take a pic of it?

[MetalFreakMike]

I love COD and if I had to wait another month, I would be pissed because I know I'm going to beat Uncharted 2 quite a few times while waiting for MW2 and I do not want to play it until I do not want to look at it anymore.

I will have Brutal Legend and Forza 3 but I need my FPS COD fix because I'm bored as hell with COD4 and do not really care for WAW that much. Once 2010 comes around tho, I'm going to be broke for sure with all the games coming out and not have enough time to play them all.

[Hudahudahuda]

"fake convo is fake"

...

[MSpence516]

i lol'ed at this also, immediately thought of 4chan

[thorstein]

Fake

[Hockey11]

I guess COD:MW2 was afraid of COD:MW2 :P

[ARog34]

...but NOT the console versions. I'm sure that's what this may be referring to.

It's just a stupida$$ post to get hits^

[Senden]

Damn I almost wish it was true.. it would probably lower activision's stock and make them lose money.. if only :(

[john master lee]

A game of this caliber would never get pushed into Dec. The biggest selling season starts towards the end of November, and NO WAY Activision would allow their biggest selling game to miss out on that key period.

[BYE]

Will this game be any good?

[jjesso1993]

bullshit all the uploaders i know on the internet have got the game and are going uploading next 72 hours

[tonywood24]

THIS IS NOT TRUE.....THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CALL OF DUTY GAME, RELEASED LATE OR DELAYED.

N4G is slipping out here. Stop posting garbage! If I wanted to check out trash, I'd watch Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, The View, Oprah, Ellen, or that annoying HACK.....Nancy Grace!!

Stop the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii hating!!! It's all good to give critizm, but not not the biased and hit generating junk.

[lamigol]

Delayed...... AGAIN !!
It was supposed to come out on 11/10/09.... 11th October here in England. Im gutted they dropped it back to 10/11/09. It had better be worth the wait
