This should really go: Call of Duty | United Offensive | Finest Hour | Big Red One | Call of Duty 2 so that it's in order of release. Will change if there's no objection within a week. — Ilyanep (Talk) 02:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

COD: Roads to Victory

This is directed at A Man in Black: while I don't think the Call of Duty: Roads to Victory article has any notable information, shouldn't we tag it for deletion before removing it from the template? --Scottie theNerd 15:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

AMIB is removing it based on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_and_video_games/Navboxes. Specifically, this line: Avoid linking to articles for unreleased games, unless they are particularly noteworthy despite the fact that they were or are unreleased. Articles for upcoming games are often of low quality and subject to sudden change; such games are often cancelled, renamed, or turn out to be hoaxes or misunderstandings. This pretty much escalated to a full scale revert war on {{Metal Gear series}}. Hbdragon88 07:48, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

COD WOW

Call of Duty: World at War shouldn't be in the main series, it's not Call of Duty 5, it's simply a spin-off of Call of Duty Series. --FrostedBitesCereal (talk) 23:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

CoD: WaW is the fifth game in the main series, Activision has dropped the numbers from the titles. Following this system, CoD: WaW is CoD5, and CoD6 (which Infinity Ward is working on under the tentative title "Call of Duty 6") will also not have a number in the title, but still be the sixth game in the main series (see here, sourced in the WaW article). -- Commdor {Talk} 01:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

WaW has been moved to the BO series because of the return of Reznov, Zombies and Treyarch. SamBrev (talk) 17:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Modern Warfare seperate?

Do you think its time Modern Warfare got seperated? It seems like Activision are trying to seperate the 2 series. I know its pretty tricky with CoD4 being a numbered sequel. DancingCyberman (talk) 18:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I think we should wait until we at least have more details on the game, but the cutting of the CoD title does make Modern Warfare 2 its own branch. I suggest having a Call of Duty games block, and a Modern Warfare block; CoD4 would simply be in both blocks. The easier solution would be to split the MW games into a new series template, with CoD4 still on both items, but two games (three if you count the DS CoD4) hardly warrant a template so soon. Perhaps the games are noteworthy enough that we'll have to split it off anyway, who knows? Anyway, I believe this is something we should decide closer to the game's release. -- Commdor {Talk} 19:21, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Games in wrong section

This is all messed up. World at War is a WWII game and yet it is listed in the Black Ops series. "Call of Duty 9" is listed as "historical", yet the article clearly states that this game is almost certainly Black Ops 2. This is ridiculously inaccurate. If anyone objects to me correcting the matter let me know on this talk page. --67.20.248.170 (talk) 04:57, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

World at War is a WWII game, yes, but it is also linked story-wise with Black Ops, i.e. the overall story of Black Ops starts immediately after World at War (which in itself does not appear to reference other games). So I don't think this is "ridiculously inaccurate". I think we can do something like this:

"Classic" games: 1, 2, 3

Modern Warfare series: 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3

Black Ops series: World at War, Black Ops

Sub-series TBA: Call of Duty 9

I put WaW and CoD9 in the BO series because CoD9 has been confirmed as BO2 and WaW because of the return of Reznov, Zombies and Treyarch. SamBrev (talk) 17:26, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
