Modern Warfare 2 Logo Teased Immediately After Microsoft's Buyout Approval

Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.

The logo for Infinity Ward's upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has just been revealed, almost immediately following the official approval of Microsoft's proposed purchase by Activision Blizzard's board of directors. This logo reveal comes after months of anxious anticipation from Call of Duty fans and statements from Activision calling the game the most advanced Call of Duty yet.

Although most in the gaming world have considered it a done deal, the shocking announcement that Microsoft would be buying Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard was only announcing the two organizations' intent to move forward with a merge, with specifics to be hammered out and confirmed in the following months. Still, this purchase seemed like a good, if bold, idea for both companies, as Activision Blizzard received a massive blow to its reputation in 2021 after numerous allegations of sexual assault and abuse were leveled against members of the company last summer. At the center of this controversy was CEO Bobby Kotick, who will reportedly be stepping down following the Microsoft purchase. As this merge moves forward, so will the regular release of CoD games, despite the series losing millions of players last year.
