The thing to remember is this...this is the same company that owns MW2...so...I doubt that they would work on 2 FPS MMOs...

we need the japanese market back. im so tired of western games cliches.

If you're talking about Blizzard not getting Asian gamers, think again.

If you're talking about you personally wanting Japanese developers to 'win' over Western developers again, then I don't know what you're talking about.  Look at the Wii and DS.  The only people who think western developers are winning are those who refuse to acknowledge anything except HD consoles and/or PC gaming.  And even then, one of the HD consoles is made by a Japanese company (Sony) and there's just as big of a PC gaming market in Asia as in the west (maybe even bigger).

But as for Blizzard, they are heavily rooted in the cliches of DnD, Warhammer and the pop culture of America.  So much so, they've practically created their entire staple franchises around them.  So in the case of Blizzard, there's no getting around it.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

 

  

Starcraft Ghost finally arrives?



Around the Network

"Worlds Of Starcraft" ?



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

I hope it's not Starcraft related.

Warcraft adventure game morphed into World of Warcraft.  It might make sense that Ghost morphs into a FPS MMO.  In it, it would feature RPG leveling up, but act as a FPS.  It would have a large focus on player vs player actually, where players can play one of the three factions of that world.  Or not be the Zerg, but be one of the other two factions.

I actually kinda liked the project that the defectors from Blizzard North made; Hellgate London. It could be playable, especially since Blizzard is making it but I'm not really big on MMO's so ultimately, I don't really care!

PS: Could it be Warhammer 40K related? Who owns the rights to that franchise?

There's a Warhammer 40k MMO already being developed, not by Blizzard though.

Rock N' Roll Racing Online (Like Interstate '76), or something Blackthorne-related? :p

Hell, I'd probably take any of those - as long as it's not Starcraft: Ghost Online, I'm fine with it.
