Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Denied By Infinity Ward

Infinity Ward has attempted to stuff the genie back in the bottle following yesterday's not at all surprising revelation from Captain Price voice actor Billy Murray (not that one), that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is in development at the Modern Warfare studio.

“Yeah, on Monday I am off to meet Infinity Ward about the next game, Modern Warfare 4, I’m doing work on the sequel to Modern Warfare 3, it carries straight on and I only ever appear in the Modern Warfare games…” Murray had initially said in an interview.

"Interesting news today, but it's not true. We've not talked with any voice actors, so all news is speculation." Infinity Ward  tweeted in response to the reports, at least denying the voice acting aspect of the game, though not flat out denying that Modern Warfare 4 is in the pipeline.

It seems entirely obvious that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is in development at Infinity Ward, although until an official announcement surfaces, we'll have to chalk this one up as rumour and/or speculation.

  • Maybe Price is being sarcastic?? Doubt it though.
  • *sigh of relief*
  • Oohh MW4... Interesting to see how this plays out. You'd think ending a series on 4 would be a bit stupid, so maybe if they make a 4 they could make a MW5!! :D
  • @3 I fucking hope not.
  • Denying MW4 is happening, is like denying the existence of bacon. Except bacon is more awesome. ALOT more awesome.
  • Call of Duty is already milked from the perceptible tits anyways so why the hell not?
  • Its a money making series of games, and they would be mentally challenged not to make another. Won't be surprised if they do make another.
  • Maybe it's a reboot that will give us back call of duty classic gameplay, world war 2.......... I don't know about everyone else but getting sick of everyone copying each other. MoH,CoD,Battlefield went modern at roughly same time, I get this feeling it's probably going to be called 'call of duty future warfare' (blame black ops 2 for that), If that happens then I won't be suprised one bit then moh, battlefield will do the same.......
  • If I remember correct MW3 has broken a few sales records the moment it came out. So yes they will be making MW4, 5, 6, 7, 8
  • Please no more regurgitated modern warfare bullshit. Take a couple of years out an 're-invent' the game.
  • they should stop making a new Call of Duty every year again and again...
  • Just for the record I was meaning the timeline of the games, not gameplay..........
  • @10 At this point there is no 'reinventing the game'. The past setting has been done. The Modern setting has been done TO DEATH. The future setting is still relatively new for the series, but still been done. The core gameplays fairly sound, and people still seem to be enjoying it. If they change it too much, they just risk upsetting that audience, if they don't, they risk boring that audience. Frankly, I would not want to be in any of the Devs shoes. They're sitting on a jenga pile that will eventually collapse for either of the above reasons. Still, they've made a huge amount of money regardless.
  • money grabbing greedy cunts! I will probably still buy it ha ha ha ha
  • If Activision was smart they'd let MW die, and create a new IP like Black Ops to give to (the shell of) Infinity Ward to make on their years.
  • So how much milk is left in the cow? They need to kill the series and start with a fresh idea
  • so maybe it weon't be called modern warfare 4 maybe it will have a new name, there making a new cod though
  • *One decade later* Infinity Ward: We're introducing to you Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 9 :^D
  • Call of Duty still remains top of the list as most played games online. Till you fools stop playing it, it will be milked to death. So enjoy your Call of Duty for many, many, more years......
  • Treyarch > Infinity Ward ... just saying.
  • id like to see the third person game that Sledgehammer was working on before MW3 happened. like lots of people ive grown tired of call of duty games, so i hope they do something.
  • CoD articles always bring out the biggest whiners and cry babies...chill guys its just a game you don't have to buy it...
  • If they are still using captain price then maybe its more likely to be a prequel to the MW series rather than a sequel.
  • Anything with CoD on the front will sell because of the 12 year olds that play these types of games -.- MW4 will happen unfortunately though.
  • why on earth do IW cover everything up that is said about a new game before they have officially announced it. its not like were all surprised when they do reveal the new game we all no theres another cod coming november 2013. they must be stupid if they genuinely believe we dont no MW4 is the next game after BOP2 why not avoid the embarassement and just admit it.
  • Probably just using a different name, it'll be modern setting IW CoD for sure. Which is the only CoD I care for. WWII was one and done for me, and I don't care about any other wars. I like the modern setting and I definitely prefer IW over Treyarch, so I'm ready as long as they stick to modern. Let Treyarch do all the goofball zombies/time hopping stuff, keep IW on the present day stuff.
  • I'd like to see another CoD based on old wars, aint seen one since World at War.
  • The last COD I bought was Black Ops. And I found that pretty meh. (Then again, the only FPS I play from time to time is Battlefield 1943 and Serious Sam.) Somone bought me MW3, i turned on the xbox, slid that shiny new disc in, started it up and.................. not more than Three minutes later the disc was out of the tray and making its way in to the big wide world via my living room window. MW4? Can Infinityward please change the record!
  • @5 you know whats more awesome,your mothers holes!
  • @24 yes it will happen much like you turning gay,go self loathe in the closet assclown!
  • Activision put out an official word the same day bill Murray did... Your slightly behind on the news...
  • I honestly don't think there will be a MW4. They'll make a new sub-series, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
  • I deny I'm a virgin, doesn't make it any more true than this :P
  • Maybe if they did a world war 1 variation ... or even the civil war or something slightly fresh.
  • How about Call of Duty: Rise of The Zombies, you plays as Zombie Soap, hell bent on bringing the entire world under the rule of the undead, I'd play that.
  • @30... wow... thats just... wow... I've not seen a more childish comment on these sections for some time... We all know that the games being made, this is like the crap they tried to pull with MW3, where there where leaked details, the sites then that just posted for seeing them, seeing their special passe's disapearing. IW is just a joke :/ They made some good titles, but things need to change. The Gaming image has been damaged enough by these titles now.
  • If it does happen, they will need a new villain and new story, so probably trilogy.. From what I remember MW3 had a definite ending in SP.
  • They deny it so they can announce it when they're ready. I don't know why they even bother everybody knows it's coming...
  • Infinity Ward is still a thing?
  • COD died years ago. Let them keep pumping out the same shit every year. They're not getting any more of my money.
  • if they are making a new mw game it must surely be for the next gen?
  • @40 - Oh no! what will they do after this shocking event?!
  • Of course it's in development, the franchise is too big of a cash cow to stop.
  • lots of rumors flying about the net about this game actually being a prequel to the first trilogy so other characters might be back as well
  • Quality be damned Activision is a business and business cares about the bottom line...Until all the sheeple stop buying the turds being shoveled out every year then they will continue to milk it for everything it is worth... MW4 will happen...It sucks but it makes money...
  • @8 Battlefield has already gone in to the future setting back in 2006 a la Battlefield2142 and it went into the modern setting 2 years before CoD4: Modern Warfare was released and MoH didn't get into the modern war setting until 2010.
  • How about we close infinity ward? That'll get rid of that shitty game.
  • I do hope it's not MW4, Infinity Ward should work on a different project inside the COD brand (although I would prefer them to start working on something completely different).
  • They're just denying it because it's true
  • I honestly don't see this being anything but a prequel. They wrapped things up so nicely in MW3's campaign, that they really have nowhere to go if they go forward in time.
  • Modern Warfare 4: Deja Vu Pre Order now for an exclusive new reimagined map. Hard hat 2999!!
  • Modernwrefare 4 wait wait wait theres gonna be another yea ok infinity ward keep making these games and one year everyone is gonna be like hmmmm I'm fucking stupid this is the exact same game every year and thats why you lost half your company which is Treyarch for anybody who didn't know which is different much better game to so Infinity ward you will never have my money and if anyone on here thinks its a good idea to buy it your not a gamer your a call of duty player and your disgusting.
  • next up COD Neanderthal warfare " sticks and stones"
  • what is this modern warfare game you speak of?
  • the new cod you have to save the sun. the moon is attacking it
  • CoD is like sports title now. money maker every year. i cant wait to get CoD2K14 ;)
  • Infinity Ward is lying, there's gonna be another one.
  • Jason West and Vince Zampella built an epic series, but Activison wants fuck this up.
  • i bet that there will be a mw4
