Okay so we all heard the news that in the future the Call of Duty title will be dropped and we'll be left with Modern Warfare and World at War running a two different franchises, hand in hand.

So I was wondering when do we think this game will lose it's popularity? When Modern Warfare 2 comes out will this game die? Or will it's fans remain loyal?

I'm not entirely sure if a World at War 2 is confirmed? If so when is it due for release?

I'm starting to invest a lot of time into this game and I'd like to feel that it'll always have an online community, but we know eventually this game will lose it's popularity.

So I put it to you; when will this game die?

-When Modern Warfare 2 is released?, When World at War 2 is released? Just eventually through time? Or will this game become an everlasting multiplayer platform?

Call of Duty 4 hasn't died. Loads of people still play it, a lot of people (like me) still play it over COD: WaW.

I don't think it will die as much as call of duty 4.

When CoD:WaW was released, it got a crapload of new players because the number was dropped. New people who saw it thought that it was no longer part of a major storyline, which is usually assumed when there's numbers after the game. People saw it as an individual game, not part of a series.

However, most of the players dedicated to Call of Duty 4 will buy modern warfare 2, and the people who play world at war that haven't played call of duty 4 will probably stick to world at war.

It won't die completely, but it will lose a bunch of players.

when MW2 comes out, MW will be mostly ditched, but WaW will still be going because its still different than both of the MW's

When WaW2 is released (assuming after MW2) both MW and WaW will be mostly abandoned. WaW, though, may still be played because of Nazi Zombies, assuming WaW2 doesn't have it.

Wait. What is all this talk of World at War 2. We've already had six World War II games, why add another one just basing it as a sequel to a game that lacked any decent structure?

It won't be a sequel in regards to storyline persay, it'll just be the name in the franchise. It's been officially released that the CoD franchise will split in two, so that's where the speculation of WaW2 is coming from...

I think this game will live a few months after MW2 comes out but I am going to bet anything that every WaW player will switch to MW2 and play that more.

Modern Warfare 2 is pwnin COD 5 + 4 atm, so there will be no 4+5 players left.

Seeing as Modern Warfare 2 isn't out, it's extremely unlikely.

It will die when WaW2 comes out

This game has a while to live. Call of Duty 4 is going to suffer more when Modern Warfare 2 is released. People could be playing 4, but they're playing World at War. More WaW players will remain loyal to their game in the end.

When MW2 comes out, it will be the only COD/MW game worth playing.

Nazi Zombies will be the main, if not only reason why people will continue to play this game upon Modern Warfare 2's release.
