Activision submited Call of Duty 4 instead of Call of Duty World at War to BAFTA. Interesting and one would assume they have a better chance to win with Call of Duty 4. However if you follow the sales news, in regards to all platforms, Call of Duty World at War seems to be doing better. I wonder if there is something Activison is not telling us?
"Call of Duty Modern Warfare missed the deadline for the 2007 Awards and so Activision elected to put that game forward for this year's Awards and chose not to enter World at War this time. We can only judge those games which are entered for BAFTA consideration."
Therefore, Treyarch might be lucky enough to be entered next year; though we doubt this since the game didn't miss the 2008 deadline. Furthermore, other video games released after Modern Warfare in 2007, weren't afforded the same virtue. Still, as BAFTA said, it's down to the publisher to submit the games for consideration, meaning they might not have realized that late-2007 games were eligible.
