Modern Warfare 2 - Image 1The controversial Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)game has been examined and rated by the British Board of Film Classification. They have approved the game with an 18 rating in the UK.

It is also reported that Infinity Ward's sequel made it unscathed and uncut after the BBFC's thorough examination. This BBFC rating marks the first 18-rating for the franchise. And what do you know, the game's finally listed as only Modern Warfare 2. No "Call of Duty" attached. Guess that makes it the final title, then.

Don't think taking the Call of Duty brand off of it is the best idea. CoD sells, but I guess people already know about it, so it won't matter much.

... and they want to distance themselves from the CoD branding in case it goes pear shaped. (ok, not likely)

» Nope....

They want to get away from Activitvision altogether. They want to be their own boss. And they also need Activision to pay for the dev fees. I also think they might want to get away to that they can make and release games how they want. Also they hate that Treyarch can use their source code and basically copy off them. Remember World at War.
