Similar to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and it’s remaster.
The naming convention is not all that strange. See: God of War, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat.
Consider that Modern Warfare was nearly its own brand back when Modern Warfare 2 was coming out, however at the last moment “Call of Duty” was returned to the name.
Call of Duty went “dark” on Twitter. Announcement coming May 30th.

Favourite 6’s and 7’s
Sean: Quantum of Solace (Metacritic: 65) and Bourne Conspiracy (Metacritic: 71)
Luke: Binary Domain, Dead Island, Crackdowns
Grrouchie Serge: Too Human has a metacritic score of 65. I absolutely love the game and got my 1000 GS on it which took over 100 hours because I had to farm legendary equipment.
This was a great loot based shooter game with a story I liked. Supposed to be a trilogy but never materialized
Eric Green: Splatterhouse is one of the most underrated games ever! I love this game! It’s gory and it’s got an awesome soundtrack.
Donnie Reece: Life is Strange due to story telling and characters. Powerstar Golf, Mario Golf and Golf Story bc duh I love golf games but each nail it that in their own unique ways. Call of Duty infinite Warfare because the story and characters in the campaign were incredible, superb writing.
Adam Leonhardt: My wife’s favorite 6 is me
Steven Taylor: Myself because I'm realistic in my appearance and know i am no 10 :P...DMC series
Blaze Knight: Perception. I really enjoy the concept of playing as a blind girl and using technology and echo location to navigate an environment all while avoiding a nasty spirit who is drawn to the sound of your cane. Also there is time travel and creepy dolls.
DrOviKintober: Fuse, a 4 player co-op game that would be perfect for games with gold. Honorable mention for Binary Domain as well.
