Could video game companies stop giving a new game the same name as an earlier, already existing game in the same series? It's always fun to have to distinguish a game by having to add the year of release after the name, because if I say I'm talking about Doom, Sonic The Hedgehog, Prey, Saints Row, God of War, Tomb Raider, or any number of other games, you can't actually be sure what game I mean.

Well this is a reboot/remake so it make sense.

Wait, what? "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a sequel 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and is set to launch later this year. The platforms it will launch on have yet to be revealed."

Could have sworn Modern Warfare was a 2007 game and MW2 has already been released in 2009. What timeline am I in right now?

The 2007 game is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. With it’s direct sequel titled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the 2019 game, and this one seems like it will use the roman number “II” instead of “2”, to differentiate itself from the earlier title by the same name.

Small distinction, but one nonetheless. Still stupid they can’t come up with better names than that. Goes hand in hand with the abysmal evolution between their games.

They are trying to sell their success based on nostalgia I guess.

But you are correct... We got a Modern Warfare in 2007, which then got remastered in 2016, then rebooted in 2019...

And this is the sequel to the 2019 release.

I wish they would remaster 2011's Modern Warfare 3. That was the last COD game that I really liked.

Absolutely hate the idea of companies naming new games to old games. More effort would be nice. In 10 years this will confuse so many people, heck its confusing now.

What year is it? MW2 came out in the 360 era? Is this franchise so bankrupt it's just bringing back old games which are not that old?

deerox Leynos (on 28 April 2022)

They are not bringing back the game though. This is a completely different game that just happens to have the exact same name.

So they're still crestively bankrupt. What a farce the industry has become

Isn't it a remaste/remake?

SecondWar DonFerrari (on 28 April 2022)

Nope. A remaster of the original MW2 was released a few years ago, but this is a sequel to the 2019 MW reboot.

Gotcha... for me the 2019 was a remake not a reboot.

No it did not.

As I said, For me it was a remake, I didn't follow it closely.

SecondWar DonFerrari (on 29 April 2022)

It doesn’t meet the definition of a remake though as its not a newly redeveloped version of the 2007 game.

Yep I understood it, just said that for it was (as in I was wrong).
