There’s been a lot of talk lately about various glitches and bugs and exploits in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In fact, some have gone so far us to declare its multiplayer to be a complete waste of time until Infinity Ward gets around to fixing everything. Not me though. To be honest, I can’t recall ever playing against someone I was sure was cheating. Maybe I’ve been lucky, maybe I’m too stupid to pick up on ...

Activision has been talking over its finances for the last year and looking ahead to the future with confirmation that it will, unsurprisingly, be releasing another Call Of Duty title on all major formats this 'holiday season'. We all knew that one was coming. But what was new was a suggestion from Activision CEO Bobby Kotick that it would be introducing some form of subscription to playing the game.

When is a special edition not a special edition? Why, when it's a standard edition, of course. But with the plethora of different special, collector's, mega and super-duper editions doing the rounds these days, it's getting harder for publishers to come up with something that actually, genuinely, really offers something 'special'. Not too long ago we saw Modern Warfare 2 hitting the headlines with its ridiculous package of game, other crap and night-vision goggles. Now, it's safe to say that without ...

In an interview with Ain't It Cool News, Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, King Kong and Brain Dead, has talked about his love of games, the challenges of Spec Ops mode in Modern Warfare 2 and his current gaming projects. While we would all like to see something original from Jackson in the gaming sphere it seems the earliest projects we'll see from him will be related to his upcoming movies.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has now grossed over $1 billion and is still selling strong over 2 months after its release. If you do the maths, based on the fact that it made $550 million from 8 million sales in its first week, then this puts its total sales to around 15 million, slightly ahead of the estimated total sale of Call Of Duty 4, a paltry 14.4 million. Modern Warfare 2 is now the third Activision ...

Champion World Extreme Cagefighting champion Jamie Varner says playing Modern Warfare 2 “non-stop” helped him to recover from a hand injury. Varner’s doctor told him specifically to keep playing videogames while his broken right index metacarpal (his finger, to you and me) recovered, because this would keep its strength up. Varner injured his hand in a fight with rival Donald Cerrone (although he still won) back in January 25 last year, then had to have surgery again in April ...

Infinity Ward’s creative strategist, Robert Bowling, (otherwise known as FourZeroTwo) has posted a brief message on the company’s forum outlining a number of updates currently in the works for Modern Warfare 2. Yes, just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, it’s going to. We can’t say we’ve noticed any major problems, but apparently there are things that need fixing, including the following, “1887s Balanced. Public "private" Match fix. Infinite Ammo fix. Prestige Hack on PS3 fix. ...

Now look here! All this Modern Warfare 2 online carry on might be a jolly lark, but one mustn’t forget one’s etiquette. We’re not savages, you know. One isn’t just representing oneself out there on the battlefield. It’s a game played across the world wide web, and it’s up to us as proud British gentlemen to represent our sovereign nation in a manner befitting subjects of Her Majesty the Queen. That means playing by the rules, keeping a ...

While everyone goes a bit mental for that shooty bang bang game with contemporary battling on it, we like to think we have an appreciation for things that came out more than a few days ago. So it is with pride in our bosom that we report Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has broken the one million sales mark. So it took more than a day, but not every game is Modern Warfare 2, is it? The news was announced by Sony's ...

Hannah Betts at The Telegraph has shared her thoughts on Modern Warfare 2 and she hasn’t talked about the controversy of level 3, she hasn’t talked about the bumped up RRP, or the short single-player campaign, or the ropey AI , or the sublime multiplayer, or the record-breaking day one sales. She’s talked about its potential impact on relationships. It’s not so much an attack on videogames, more a resigned, head-shaking sigh. She even acknowledges ...

So, I played about four hours of Modern Warfare 2's single player campaign last night and loved nearly every minute of it. Especially the White House level – awesome. Oh, and that bit where you're riding on the side of a chopper and land in the gulag – brill. But anyway, I was having so much fun that I didn't notice that not a single Trophy had popped up during my session. At first I figured that this was because I ...

Here's a video from last night's MW2 launch festivities in London:

Modern Warfare 2 is here. You knew about that right? Well, if you didn't then you do now and the launch of the year's most anticipated game has lead to an explosion of column inches and an Internet awash with stories of preorder numbers, violent scenes and supermarket price wars. So let us wade through the MW2 swamp and bring you the big hits of the day.

We’ve never awarded a game a score of 100% in Play and…

I have now played the finished version of Modern Warfare 2 and written my review, but I can’t tell you anything about it just yet or Activision will declare war on me. I don’t have an army of my own but I think maybe Activision does, so it’s a war I could never win. A much safer option for me is to draw your attention to this launch trailer at NowGamer.com. If ...
