I wonder why ATVI would decide to drop the powerful "Call of Duty" brand from the game's title. My guess is they were surprised by the interest in the modern setting and want to spin off the line completely, keeping Call of Duty as a World War franchise while developing a separate franchise out of Modern Warfare. This way Modern Warfare 2 won't be confused as Call of Duty 6.
