The Call of Duty franchise of games has been around for quite some time.  While the buzz around Modern Warfare 2 might seem like it’s the first some people have heard of the game, it’s actually the sixth game in the series!  If we’re lucky, it might also be the last.

In case you haven’t been reading the gaming section of the news (OK, it doesn’t exist, but it totally should), Infinity Ward has just lost two of their head execs; Vince Zampella and Jason West.  Activision supposedly originally let them go for “HR Violations and insubordination”, however when it finally made a statement regarding the firings, the company made no mention of it.

Modern Warfare 2 was the biggest launch of any form a media EVER.  It’s one of the top FPS shooters of all time, and is critically lauded for (of all things in a shooter) its incredible writing.  So why should I feel that it should be allowed to die?  The answer is very simple: “Let’s end on a good note.”
