Call of Duty: 'Modern Warfare 2' set to strike
"Modern Warfare 2" begins its worldwide blitz on Tuesday, eagerly anticipated by lovers of the blockbuster role-playing battle videogame franchise.

Videogame publisher Activision Blizzard believes that the sixth installment in the "Call of Duty" franchise could be the most powerful entertainment industry launch of the year, outshining even Hollywood blockbusters.
Analysts expect "Modern Warfare" to blast new life into a videogame industry that has seen sales figures this year cobbled by dismal economic conditions and a dearth of hot releases.
US videogame sales showed a modest increase in September, breaking a six-month losing streak.
Sales would have to skyrocket in the remaining months of the year just to meet last year's numbers.
"Modern Warfare" is expected to delight mainstream videogame players along with the franchise's fan base of "hardcore" gamers thrilled by first-person shooter titles.
Multiplayer options allow people share consoles or link on the Internet to play together as characters in the videogame as an alternative to going solo.
Reviewers have heaped early praise on "MW2" for its game play and vivid graphics.
The game is rated for people ages 17 or older and "MW2" has stirred a bit of controversy for depicting realistically brutal terrorist encounters.
Infinity Ward created the videogame, with versions tailored to Microsoft Xbox 360; Sony PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii videogame consoles.
"No detail is too small and every finishing touch imaginable is underway to make 'Modern Warfare 2' our best ever," said Infinity Ward chief executive Vince Zampella.
"MW2" picks up in the wake of its predecessor, which reportedly sold 12 million copies.

I cant wait for this, COD4 on the 360 is one of the gratest games ever released.

This has an aful lot to live upto.

Sorry...seen the trailer for it.

The fact that it has Dual wielding machine guns...oh and some parts take place "In Space".. means I wont be buying it.


That and the fact that its a COD game as well

I think it has a lot to live up to after COD4 - I mean the last game was a let down after COD4

The COD games rock, its just going to be hard to beat the fourth

I quite fancied Forza 3.

Got that last week - good game

I was just in Sainsbury's Upton. There were people queuing at the clothes counter. I couldn't figure why and then I saw they all had a copy of this in their mitts.

All because they are selling it for £26!
