It's almost hard to take these guys seriously as a company at this point, you thought they were milking it before? Well take a look at this:

Quote:Superannuation has spotted a series of domain names registered by Activision, for variations on the names "Call of Duty: Future Warfare," "Advanced Warfare," "Secret Warfare" and "Space Warfare," as well as those same names with "2" and "3" appended to the end.

These don't all necessarily refer to future Call of Duty games. The fact that all of these were registered makes it likely that Activision is securing domains for potential future projects, even before those projects exist in any form, to avoid having to pay domain squatters later. Or, one of these could be a real game, and the rest a clever smokescreen by Activision, to prevent us from knowing which is real. It would be smart on Activision's part to use at least one of these -- after all, they all have most of the same words as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," which we understand to have been rather successful.

What is you guy's take on this? A few have speculated that these new games could be related to the new Sledgehammer studio that is going to expand the COD series into the "action adventure" genre. And people call Halo milked..

This is ridiculous.
I doubt any of this is even going to happen. Call of Duty is dead. Let it die peacefully, Milkivision.

As much as I wish it were true, Activision isn't going to let this series slip through their fingertips so easily. Even if they don't all turn into games, I bet quite a few of them will.

Augh...
Why...
So sad...
Here, no one buy the next games unless they're insanely awesome. But I doubt that. I really doubt that.

Activision, I see what you did thar....

Just by spamming the word "warfare" at the end of every FPS, they think that will generate money and games. As stupid as that sounds, people will still buy games with that one word attached to it, no matter how bad the game is. Activision, on the other hand, will be laughing themselves to the bank...............

If only one of those names are real, I would bet it would be "Future Warfare."
Whatever the title is, whatever the gameplay is like, it's bound to sell millions.
90% of the people don't know what is going on at activision and don't care. They just want more Call of Duty.

After completing FFX, even Chuck Norris bowed to Auron's epicness.

Oh god. Imagine what would happen if other game devs took on the Warfare title.
Then we would have Final Fantasy Warfare A2. Or even better..... FIFA Warfare 11!!!!

Wait wait wait...

Call of Duty is dead? Tell that to the how many hundreds of thousands of people currently playing Modern Warfare 2 online. Plus, considering how many Guitar Hero games Activision poured out in one year this can hardly be surprising.
