IGN: Modern Warfare is something that Infinity Ward has ownership over now – does that mean that the team is tied into dong any further instalments in the series?

Robert Bowling: Not really. Right now we don't have a clue what our next game is going to be, and we won't know what it will be until we finish with Modern Warfare 2, which won't be for a while – once this game comes out we're going to take a little break, we're going to play with the community to see what people like and what they want more of so we can focus on the DLC for this game, and once all that's wrapped up and done then we'll start thinking about what's coming next. Right now, if we want to make another one then we might, but we've really no clue what our next game is.

IGN: Call of Duty started as a PC-led franchise but that's changed with Modern Warfare. Do you think Modern Warfare is more in tune with console sensibilities than Call of Duty used to be?

Robert Bowling: We definitely like for the game to be equal on every platform, but the console games became so popular that the majority of our audience are on console. So when we're going out to our community to get feedback, the majority of feedback we're getting is from the console userbase. We'd definitely like it to be a unified user base, and with Modern Warfare 2, more than any previous games, each platform is very similar to each other in how they perform.
