The next few months are going to be big for the Call of Duty franchise. But, it appears that a handful of excited leakers couldn’t stop themselves from spoiling all of the fun.
Over the past 24 hours, gameplay footage of what looks like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has circulated all over the internet. It’s worth noting that Activision Blizzard is expected to showcase the upcoming Modern Warfare sequel on September 15 at the Call of Duty Next event. Fans can also look forward to seeing Warzone 2 and Project Aurora debut at the said showcase.
Now, going back to the leaked footage, it appears that Activision Blizzard has taken the necessary action to take it offline. This suggests that the footage was legit and we can expect part of the single-player campaign to involve sequences like players hijacking a truck and firing at enemies during a drive-by.
Call of Duty is one of the most popular video game franchises in the world. Sony knows just how big it is, which is why it worries about Microsoft owning the property. Activision should know better by now than to let untrustworthy individuals get their hands on sensitive info. But, there’s no use crying over spilled milk. The word is already out and the publisher might want to count itself lucky that the leaked footage had questionable quality.
The good news for us fans is that we won’t have to wait longer to get more info on Call of Duty.
On top of the Call of Duty Next event, the beta period for Modern Warfare II multiplayer is starting on September 16. Make sure to pre-order today to get the first dibs on the highly anticipated shooter.
