Arent IW only working on Modern Warfare now?

Every second CoD will be a Modern Warfare? Or IW has multiple teams? Or they've hired another external dev studio?

Whatever it is, 6 is in development. You don't make a game of CoD's scale in a year; having two dev teams in parallel is the solution.

really not surprised

Modern Warfare is now its own IP isnt it? IW is working on that now... they dont work on CoD games nymore...

This was what Iread

OK. So (effectively) it'll be two CoD games a year? Goes well with two GH titles.

At this rate they will be at about CoD15 by end of next generation.

lol thats what i get out of this OP.....

Modern Warfare 2[2] (previously known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) is an upcoming first-person shooter video game from Infinity Ward. Officially announced on February 11, 2009,[3] the game will be published by Activision and is due for release on November 10, 2009.[1] Although the game does not share the Call of Duty series title,[4] Modern Warfare 2 is a sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.[3]

The sixth game in the Call of Duty series was originally referred to under the working title Call of Duty 6.[4] The official title for the game was first revealed to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by Activision Blizzard on December 3, 2008.[7] Activision Blizzard subsequently recanted their announcement, saying any information about the upcoming Call of Duty game was "speculative,"[8] and Infinity Ward also asserted that they had not officially confirmed their latest project.[9] On February 11, 2009, Activision Blizzard reannounced Modern Warfare 2 and set a tentative release date for "Holiday 2009."[3]

Voice actor Ken Lally, who has previously provided motion capture work for the Resident Evil 5 character Albert Wesker,[10] confirmed that he provided voice work for Modern Warfare 2; his role in the game was not specified.[11]

On March 25, 2009, a teaser trailer for the game was revealed at the Game Developer Choice Awards ceremony in San Francisco. The trailer was also posted on Infinity Ward's website.[12] It announced a release date of November 10, 2009[1] and confirmed that the game's title of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was officially shortened to just Modern Warfare 2.[1] The teaser trailer was also released on the Xbox Live Marketplace and on the PlayStation Network a short time later.[13] A second trailer was released on May 10, 2009, showing the possibility of snowmobile driving sections, another AC-130 gunship level, and underwater sections being part of the gameplay. This trailer also announces that the game will be "Revealed" during the Eastern Conference Finals, May 24th on TNT.[14]

Infinity Ward has confirmed that they will address the issue of enemies that continually respawn at different points of a level. Also, in response to questions about the length of the single-player campaign, Infinity Ward CCO Jason West stated that Modern Warfare 2 would not be longer than the 6-10 hour-long campaign of Call of Duty 4.[5]
