Activision has decided to hold back its time-shift shooter to allow the COD4 sequel to do the business in Q4

Singularity, developed by FPS stalwarts Raven Software, was announced at E3 last year, but won’t compete with it’s stable-mate come November. "The level of excitement for Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 coming out of E3 well exceeded our expectations and therefore we have decided to move Raven's upcoming sci-fi first person action title, Singularity, from 2009 to Q1 2010," Activision told GameSpot.

"We believe that the March quarter will provide a better opportunity to establish the new cutting-edge action IP as a 'must-have' title and clears the way for Modern Warfare 2 to dominate this holiday season." Following the continued success of Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the publisher has made no secret of its desire to make the combat sequel one of the biggest entertainment properties in history.
