@Joe80, it's a known bug. It happens where there is a special character, like the curly quote after Ward. I don't know why the comments accept it but the articles does not. It says on the submission form to reformat any special characters to plain text characters.
Call of Duty has been an impressive franchise. It will be interesting to see if it continues to thrive in a modern setting. The first impressions certainly lean to an "Oh hell yes" and I should think it will make the prediction and some.
IGN previews the anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Call of Duty series. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a departure from other CoD games because it is set in modern times, as opposed to WWII. But this game, developed by Infinity Ward, is much more than just a modern-looking CoD 2. The game looks amazing, and, according to the article, the screenshots are actual gameplay footage, not computer generated.

From looking at the trailer, this game seems to be of to a good start. If the footage from the trailer is actually in-game (which I think some of it is) then this could be a visual treat. The real wonder is if Infinity Ward will keep the same type of gameplay we have seen in past call of duty's and upgrade it or whether they will totally revamp the series. If they do revamp the series, I wonder what they will keep in order to justify the Call of Duty name, probably the great sound and cinematic missions Call of Duty is known for. As more is released it will be easier to see where they are taking this game.
I think the current forecast of 2 million copies sold over lifetime seems accurate, but Call of Duty is competing in an increasingly crowded part of the market, so it remains to be seen if it will have to split its sales with other games like it.
"There's no doubt that these scenes show off quite a familiar vision of modern warfare, and one that echoes a number of other titles, from GRAW through to Metal Gear Solid 4. Fortunately, that seems to be the tip of the iceberg. There are several shots set in muted grasslands, a line of wonky telegraph poles protruding from the earth as camouflaged troops move carefully through, not to mention a richly atmospheric forest setting, with fog settling on the moonlit ground. Even from the trailer, it's clear that Call of Duty 4 isn't light on mood. The lighting in particular frames each setting wonderfully, from husky sunsets through to night vision melee combat."
