By Griffin McElroy Poor, poor GameStop. As the gaming public's anticipation for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 approached critical mass, they faltered in their loyalty, and took their business to small "mom and pop" game retailers who had broken the game's street date.

By Chad Lakkis Direct from the hefty predictions department come two haymakers. The first hails from the lips of Activision CEO, Bobby Kotick, and the second comes from Nintendo’s North American President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. Have your popcorn ready.

Modern Warfare 2 is shaping up to be quite the big release. Really big. Extremely big. Perhaps even absurdly big. So big that when it is released, all the real wars in the world will be put on hold so everyone can play the game. Okay, maybe not that big. But close, at least in the eyes of one Mr. Robert "Bo...

By Chad Lakkis According to Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat, a Craigslist post offering a Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 bundle perked the interest of Activision and prompted them to hire Dallas based IPCybercrime, a private investigation firm specializing in internet crime.

By Chad Lakkis In all honesty, if the company disagrees with the notion of forced 3rd party software why then link to an external means of purchase and offer a discount on other games by that publisher? It seems to me that they feel guilty for causing a perceived inconvenience to their customer base and at...

By JC Fletcher At Direct2Drive," the statement on what would be the Modern Warfare 2 product page reads, "we believe strongly that when you buy a game from us, you shouldn't be forced to install and run a 3rd party software client to be able to play the game you purchased." The site offers an Amazon link to pu...

“It’s not cast in stone yet, but at this point no, we don’t think we will have dedicated servers,”Carmack also said he's happy that Infinity Ward decided to not support dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 2 as that way id Software won't have to do any pioneering on that part:

With all the commotion recently surrounding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (multiplayer, USA being under attack, blablabla...), Activision - Blizzard didn't want to pass by another opportunity to keep Infinity Ward's latest in the news so a launch trailer is a good way of doing that.

By Mike Fahey Back in Australia the debate rages on, with Nicholas Suzor, spokesman for the lobby group Electronic Frontiers Australia, using the situation to call for a R18+ rating for games released in the country, while rejecting the idea that a video game could foster terrorism.

After the crippled multi, the 18+ stamp and the shocking terrorist video, it now seems that the renowned publisher is a bit fed up with the content of what comes in the news though. While many would say 'bad publicity is still publicity', Activision - Blizzard does not share that philosophy...

By Brian Crecente Details of the scene came to light after footage from the game was leaked on the Internet. Activision says that the footage comes from a game obtained illegally and "is not representative of the overall gameplay experience in Modern Warfare 2."

Yesterday video footage of a controversial segment from Modern Warfare 2 hit the Internet. Today MW2 publisher Activision explained the video, which has since been pulled from the Internet.
