Infinity Ward's next entry in the Call of Duty series will reportedly be a prequel to 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, according to a new online rumour.

That's according to an 'unnamed source' speaking to fan site thisisxbox.com.

Not the most established of sources, granted - and you should still take this info with a large pinch of salt - but it's claimed the site's Deep Throat is the same that previously revealed the name and early details of Call CoD: Black Ops to Xboxic last year ahead of its official reveal - and that info was spot on.

According to the source, the plot of Infinity Ward's next CoD will focus on Modern Warfare 2 fan favourite Ghost, revealing how he became a masked member of Task Force 141 - a similar story to that of the MW comic book written by David Lapham.

It goes on to claim that the title will see players revisit locations from Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 from a different viewpoint, that it may not arrive this year - and that it will not be created on a new game engine.

Infinity Ward employees alleged last year that Activision was demanding delivery of Modern Warfare 3 for November 2011, but massive unrest at the developer and an ongoing legal battle over the franchise may have resulted in a change of strategy.

Anyone fancy a prequel, then?

I wonder how little/much it'll be affected by the BLOPS [LIFTED], in every sense...

So even less originality in an COD game? Imagine.

I've got no interest in COD. Although I'm sure I'd have gotten some fun out of BLOPS I'm tired of the formula, especially the multiplayer.

You'd struggle to get fun out of it on the PS3, I know that much...
