Bowling clarifies that there is currently no beta for the game, and if there was he'd be "screaming it from every internet rooftop." For the record: So would we.

So does this mean there is a Modern Warfare 2 being worked on at Infinity Ward?

It's a fake.
So no.
Rocko @ Jan 12th 2009 5:29PM
No, I'm saying because Infinity Ward Community Manager Robert Bowling neither confirmed nor denied its existence, and if the second paragraph of this article didn't raise eyebrows, then you need to check back with your browtologist
"Bowling clarifies that there is currently no beta for the game, and if there was he'd be 'screaming it from every internet rooftop.'"

Still, it doesn't do anything to confirm Modern Warfare 2. He means that if there was a Call of Duty 5 beta, it would be screamed from "internet rooftops."
Plus, we already know that Infinity Ward is making a futuristic FPS for the next game.

What COD5? Isn't that out?
WRE @ Jan 12th 2009 5:22PM
Yeah right, Treyarch wishes.
B3astofthe3ast @ Jan 12th 2009 5:35PM
No, that was CoD4.1
vdeogmer @ Jan 12th 2009 5:40PM
Yeah, it's called World at War
Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 12th 2009 5:51PM
no, Call of Duty: World at War is called Call of Duty: World at War.
Know how you can tell? It says Call of Duty: World at War right on the box. Not Call of Duty 5, but Call of Duty: World at War.
When you go to the store and find the game, the box will say Call of Duty: World at War. When you buy the game, the receipt will say that you paid for a game called Call of Duty: World at War. When you open the box, the instruction manual will have Call of Duty: World at War printed on it. The Disc will also have the words Call of Duty: World at War printed on it. When you put the disc into your system, it will be read at Call of Duty: World at War.

bet you a dollar that Infinity Ward's next COD installment will be called COD5.
Or they may do away with the numbering all together and just call it Future Warfare.

So, strategy panda, COD WaW is missing a five in it? Glad you cleared that up. I almost got confused.
BlaqueBeird @ Jan 12th 2009 5:42PM
So did somebody just waste a bunch of time writing and e-mailing this to people, just for some laughs? Didn't he think that one through first?
"Haha! Wasted your time with that thing I wasted my time making! Joke's on you!"
I think that's called getting your own back, or irony for those keeping score. (I know I am)
Shmil @ Jan 12th 2009 6:03PM
Its called a prank. Of course he did it for the lulz.
Gun Barrier @ Jan 12th 2009 7:32PM
Actually its a spam scam. It requires you to enter your SS#, DoB, Credit card numbers, and other personal stuff.
Nomi @ Jan 12th 2009 5:56PM
Wouldn't this be COD6? Or are we going with the school of 'because we said so'?
343 Guilty Fart @ Jan 12th 2009 6:04PM
ZOMG guyz geuss wat? i just got emailz form infinty ward inviting me 2 the beta!!!!111
CyberKnight @ Jan 12th 2009 6:11PM
Why "beware"? Why all the histrionics? What's the worst that can happen? You'll just enter the code, get a message that says "code invalid", pout for five minutes, and then go on with life. It's not like this code will reformat your console, delete your saved games, and steal all the beer from your fridge... right?

IW doesn't want their phones ringing off the hook because people's invite codes don't work.
