Activision has announced the release date for the publisher’s key 2009 title, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

As a sponsor of this year’s GDC awards, Activision PR had asked attendees of the event to wait for an announcement after the ceremony closed. It was here where a projection screen offered the new trailer to Modern Warfare 2, of which the footage ended with a November 10 release date.

The release date is expected to apply for the US Market only, with a UK release just a heartbeat away.

Earlier in March, Infinity Ward’s previous Call of Duty title had snapped up three BAFTA awards in the categories of Gameplay, Story and Character, along with the publicly-voted GAME Award.

The Infinity Ward team has also been engaging with its fans via its semi-official Twitter Page, asking fans for their suggestions.

No, I wouldn't suggest vechiles be added, since that's never been what Call of Duty has been about. As Dixon has said, perhaps some new game mode, perhaps modes where there are more than two factions, I don't know, something that expands upon the excellent system they came up with for CoD4. I think Killzone 2's in-game switching of objectives is a great idea, but perhaps one that could be expanded upon to be a more dynamic.

At the very least I hope IW work towards ironing out some of the issues that eventually ruined CoD4 online for me, the reload and geometry glitching, that kind of thing. As excellent as CoD4's multiplayer is it's not perfect, and I would be somewhat disappointed (and surprised by IW) if they just churned out the same online mode again.

I agree with Digital-Hero, but Ben makes a valid point that taking multiplayer further is essential to making a great game. New game modes, interesting maps, new & old weapons and gear, new and old stragedies, but I firmly believe that a game can be enhanced by simply adding new game modes while keeping the same game play that gamers are accustomed to.

I imagine I'm far from alone in how excited I am for Modern Warfare 2. One thing I really hope they do is push the multiplayer aspect of things further, rather than relying on churning out the CoD4 online game again (as Treyarch seemed more than happy to do).

What do you mean further? Vehicles? That ruined WaW. Higher player count? That ruins most squad based shooters. After playing it for almost 2 years straight, I can say COD4 was the best multiplayer of 2007.
