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

MODERN WARFARE 2

QUITE SIMPLY AMAZING

got my copy yesterday coz my mate works in game it really is all its hyped up to be.

Just been to Tesco and people were lining up for it, huge queue

I wanna plaaaay

yes another one on the xmas list for my self /summer01 you mean ,

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.

Girl on the till said people had been queuing since 4am. When she got in at 7am the car park was full.

All because they are selling it for £26!

I was tempted to get in the queue but I was already 10 minutes late for work

I just got the last one in Prenton at 9ish, (well time off work is best used PRODUCTIVELY) loading up now. It better be good!

Bye the way PS3 version.

I actually received mine yesterday. Not playing mine yet as it is an Xmas present

No way is it gonna stay sealed until 25th December lol

I'm already a Forza 3 widow!

Anyway, there'd be a fight for who got to play with this game

We could fight online - of course, you know as well as I do, Id kick your arse

gonna check and see if I still have xbox live. cba paying for a game I cant play online

Give everyone a chance to get good i suppose. I am the Shiz on COD4.

This point remains completely unproven. If it were Halo2 you wouldn't stand a chance. It'd be a headshot or a sticky grenade Or maybe even a sneaky snipe.

If it does "He is a stronger man than me"

Wasnt going to get it, but am glad I did. The story line is very different to anything I have played before.

I just bought it! woohooo!

might get this for the ps3 when the hype dies down a bit. i would get the PC version but it doesnt have any commandline or custom server support.

woowooo! Ive just got off it from my last post

I likey very much... tbh I didnt think I would.

Morrisons west kirby. selling it for £26 they had 13 copies left before my mate got his there

whats that site all about violet? I went to it but didn't quite get it.

Links to torrents by the looks of it.

One thing i have read alot of in the reviews is that alot of the PC Gamers have a real chip on their shoulders about how the game isn't customisable enough and how it isn't alot better than the console version. I suppose game developers are always going to develop their games to get maximum revenue and the console market is so much more profitable than the PC market of course games are going to be poor ports.

we should have a Wiki team lol. clan tags are 4 letters now instead of 3

[Wiki]ROMEO UK

Hmm, even more reason I should get this.

just got mine

They had loads in Tesco last night - £40 a pop though

So when are you going to buy it?

sainsburries £26 and they have stock, its 100000000times better than cod 4

I'm tempted to go on the way home from work...

Ohhhhh *rubs hands

I'll have a look on the way back *rolling eyes*

Already have a "wallhack" and an aimbot released:
