More than 60% of you who voted in our poll yesterday want Infinity Ward's next game to include the "Call of Duty" name in the title, outnumbering those who think the development studio's project should be called just "Modern Warfare 2." While the game's teaser trailer does not include the "CoD" name, a representative for the game's publisher, Activision, won't say what the game's name will be.

An Activision spokesperson told me in an e-mail: "All I can share at this time is that Modern Warfare has taken on such a life of its own, it has become our focus now. At this point, it's too early to release additional details."

"It's been a great high for the last couple of weeks," Daniel Suarez, Activision's executive producer for "Call of Duty: World At War" told me in an interview last week. Happy is any man whose game has launched so well that it topped -- his words -- the "bajillion pound gorilla" that is "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King" in sales in the U.K in its launch week.

Suarez and I talked about a number of things during out interview, some of which I've covered here on Multiplayer this week -- plans for upcoming DLC for the game and where the game's surprising Nazi Zombie mode came from.

The first topic of my interview, however, was how the development team at Treyarch dealt with making a game in the shadow of "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare." That was the bajillion-pound gorilla as far as I was concerned.
