Looking to pick up a copy of Modern Warfare 2 but don’t want to brave the mean streets to go buy a copy? Well, you could always order a copy of the blockbuster FPS from an online retailer and wait a few days for it to arrive. But if you are an Xbox user there is now a easier option.

Modern Warfare 2 is now available for direct download via the Xbox Live Marketplace, meaning no need to get up out of that comfy arm chair or wait for your copy to arrive in the mail. For $60 you can initiate your download from Xbox.com and have it put in your download queue. Or you can search for Modern Warfare from the Games on Demand section of the dashboard.

After forty-one weeks, only three of those weeks outside of the top ten, Infinity Wards shooter took the crown from the previous all-time UK best-seller, Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training. Chart-Track didn’t have any official sales numbers to hand but you can be sure Activision will have some sort of announcement about Modern Warfare 2′s latest milestone soon.

It took ‘Dr Kawashima’ around 36 months to overtake the previous record holder!

Those modders have been at it again with their JTagged Xboxes. Here at MW2Blog we’re not advocates of modding, but this one is actually pretty cool. They’ve only gone and made a Modern Warfare 2 Zombie mode! So, here’s how it works…

18 people race to the top of rust, first 9 to hit the top become zombie killers. The 9 that don’t make it to the top become zombies who can only knife. If the zombie kills you, you become the zombie which means you have to fight back to get to the top of rust.

A lot of people are bound to want to play this modded Modern Warfare 2 Zombie game mode. The bad news is that unless you have, or know somebody with a modded Xbox that knows how to do this mod, you’re not going to be able to.

It all seems to be going down at TheTechGame, so head over there and see if you can find out more about this mod, or maybe even get a game.

All’s now said and done. The second, and probably last, map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the Resurgence Pack, is now live on all systems.

After a months worth of exclusivity on the Xbox 360, PlayStation and PC Call of Duty gamers can now enjoy Modern Warfare 2 online with all the available maps for the game. With the Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack’s release also comes new playlists and Double XP.

The Resurgence Pack will hit PlayStation (Europe) and Australia tomorrow, July 7th. See you online.

If you’re tired of getting pounded by killstreak rewards in Modern Warfare 2 you’re in luck because just moments ago Infinity Ward added two Modern Warfare 2 ‘Barebones’ playlists. The two new playlists, called Barebones Pro and Objective Barebones Pro, are in a variety of game modes and also allow for Xbox Live Party Chat.

While they’re not quite ‘barebones’ modes in the full sense of the word (you still get to use perks,) being able to play Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer games without those pesky killstreak rewards in the sky will be a godsend to the more hardcore First-Person-Shooter gamer.

Fans of Capture the Flag might be dissapointed to learn that in order to make room for the new Playlists CTF no longer has it’s own Playlist. It’s still in Team Tactical, Objective Barebones Pro, and Resurgence playlists. Just not its own playlists anymore.

The Barebones Playlists are only live on the Xbox for now but they will hit the Playstation 3 and PC alongside the Resurgence Package DLC on July 6th. Check out Infinity Ward’s announcement below.

Infinity Ward

Just uploaded two new playlists to Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer that allow you to play public matches with no Killstreaks in a variety of game modes.

*Xbox LIVE Party Chat allowed

Objective Barebones Pro:

Will you be hitting up Modern Warfare 2 for some killstreak-less games?

It’s a shame that the Modern Warfare 2 map packs don’t arrive on all platforms at the same time, but hey, in the words of Tupac – that’s just they way it is. Well, as of today, at least nobody is in the dark about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack PS3 and PC release date.

Infinity Ward’s Creative Strategist announced just moments ago that the Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence pack will arrive on the PS3 (US) and PC (Worldwide) on July 6th. EU Playstation gamers, you’ll have to wait one more day (July 7th) to get your hands on the Resurgence Pack.

Xbox’s ‘Game With Fame’ events give you the chance to battle celebrities on your favorite games over Xbox Live. The latest event features Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and a rather unusual gamer. The chances of actually getting a game with him might be pretty slim, but none-the-less, Ozzy “The Prince of Darkness” Osbourne and his son Jack will be playing Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Live June 8th.

Yes, we do mean the crazy guy from Black Sabbath that famously bit a doves head off, that gibbering wreck from the hit reality TV show ‘The Osbournes’. Competition… we think not, but fun I’m sure.

Who: Ozzy Osbourne
Date: Tuesday, June 8, 2010
Time: 4:00 P.M. 6:00 P.M. ET/1:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. PT
