Modern Warfare 2 Wins Best Shooter At VGA

Modern Warfare 2 Wins Best Shooter and Multiplayer

VGA Awards Logo 700

Modern Warfare 2 has scooped two awards at this year’s Video Game Awards (VGA’s). The event was held in a glitzy, glamorous location in LA and was attended by stars from sport, music and film. All the major video game development studios were in attendance including Vince Zampella and Jason West representing Infinity Ward.

The most prestigious, Game Of The Year award, was won by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves but Modern Warfare 2 managed to win the “Best Shooter” and “Best Multiplayer Game” awards. The awards were presented to Zampella and West by none other than “Iron” Mike Tyson (which as a boxing fan would have been worth the trip alone). Well done Infinity Ward.

    Look at all these fanboys who can’t take the fact that the multiplayer on mw2 blows hairy things… uncharted 2 i’m sure has almost no glitches unlike this piece of trash.

          @bob,

          lol
          K/D Ratio 3,12
          Winns 9,4

          i think this is not bad ;) . i’m missing the cod-feeling, big fights and cool action.

          nothing in mw2, every one “sit and wait” to get the killstreaks.

    To start things off, I believe MW2 is an amazing game but why aren’t you guys doing anything about the 10th prestige hack. Well, I doubt it because I certainly am hoping that I’m wrong but atleast shed some light on your players from PS3 and XBOX 360. I don’t care what console anyone owns, everyone deserves a chance for the game to be fun. Not earning your items is just ruining it… Please inform us. It’s an amazing game, why not keep it that way by keeping it updated and hack free? I think we (the players) atleast deserve that much for being loyal to IW and Activision.
