Former COD dev drops another hint that Modern Warfare 4 is coming
That developer was Robert Bowling, former creative strategist and community manager at Infinity Ward. As COD fans will know, that’s the studio which created the Modern Warfare sub-brand, and revolutionised the shooter genre with its first entry back in 2007.
We’re in the midst of a wave of Modern Warfare 4 rumours, thanks to four American football players who said on Instagram that they had played this year’s Call of Duty at a private preview event (via All Games Delta). A fan then slowed down the footage they posted, claiming to hear the words “killstreaks” and “Modern Warfare 4”, though the audio is far from clear.
It’s also possibly notable that, in Eurogamer’s coverage of that story, reading the first word of the first four paragraphs spells out ‘Modern Warfare 4’, though there’s no reason to think this is anything more than a cheeky nod to the rumours. Bowling clearly thinks they’re credible, and as he likely still has connections with Infinity Ward – whose turn it is to release the next COD – he’s in a position to know.
This just adds to a pre-existing body of Modern Warfare 4 rumours. In a February earnings call, Activision-Blizzard confirmed that COD 2019 is “rooted in some of the franchise’s most important history” and will have a single-player campaign (via PC Gamer). Earlier this year, Infinity Ward’s communications manager was regularly tweeting mysterious, macabre imagery which some took as a hint that COD 2019 would be a sequel to 2013’s Ghosts, until Kotaku’s well-connected Jason Schreier quashed that idea.
It seems pretty unlikely that Infinity Ward would launch a new sub-series given the hostile reception to its last effort, 2016’s Infinite Warfare, and those comments about the franchise’s history. So while we still haven’t heard anything official, Modern Warfare 4 is looking like an increasingly safe bet. The annual COD is typically revealed well ahead of E3, so we shouldn’t have much longer to wait either way.

Really hoping this rumor is true and if it is that it is not another upset and money grabbing hype bullshit but an actual classic cod game.

DecyFoam MW4? Wasn't COD4 referred to as that or am i trippin rn
Cod 4 is MW1 basically as its the oldest game.
That's what i was thinking but so many people referred to it as mw4 bc it was cod4. It threw me off for a second but I'm stoked for another modern warfare game!

SR20DETMario350 dont know how mw4 will work when soap and quite alot of the original guys are dead and the original iw is also dead, unless new iw doesnt add stupid iw jet packs or black ops 4 150hp(wait too much when you dont have an lmg)
if its mw4 it better be telling the back story of all the past mw series up to the current day of whatever year its set in, it also better be set in 2022 or 2021 not this futuristic crap we dont want, since modern warfare takes place two years(ie mw1 was 2007 took place in 2009) mw2(2012) mw3(didnt play the story but im assuming it was 2014) so mw4 better follow this style so 2022 would make sense same with 2021.
but i do have my doubts its mw4 its most likely ghosts 2 which ghosts wasnt a bad cod it was the last real bog game before bo4 but cant wait to be proven either wrong or right at e3 or earlier
See this is why I don't think it'll be MW4, I can't see a story that can come from this, as much as I would love to see the return of Price I just don't see it happening. BUT on the off chance it is actually MW4 I want it to be a prequel to CoD 4, about Price and McMillan. Like the events leading up to All Ghillied Up.
It was rumored by retired devs that it's a prequel to MW2 but that's a rumor so yeah

ReckzXPPCookie This might be CODs last chance in the gaming spot light. If they screw this up i think that's the end of it for them. Coming from a COD player who doesn't like battle royals much. But MW 1,2,3 were all good games IW only screwed up on Ghosts and Infinite Warfare IMO. So this should be nice hopefully they make a MW2R bundle though that would completely obliterate Fortnite if they don't ruin that either but I can't wait to see what the future holds.I have herd this since cod ghosts days and still hits breaking records every year in sales
Where are these record breaking sales in recent years show me lol I wanna see 1 in the last 3 years. Please show me lol.
