Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition will be 'very limited'

Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has offered a quick reminder to those of you hoping to nab a copy of the hotly anticipated Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2 – the $150 USD collector’s item will only be available in extremely limited numbers, so either get in early or go home empty handed.

Speaking with IGN, the community boss stated, "We've already been asked by retailers to up the production numbers due to demand, which we immediately denied.”

"We decided from the beginning that we want this to be for the hardcore fans and early adopters. The fact that it is actually limited is one of the coolest parts, which is why we've individually numbered every copy."

Elsewhere, Bowling divulged some of the team’s earlier plans for the Prestige Edition, including the idea of including fake flashbang grenades and a set of dogtags before finally settling on the idea of night vision goggles.

"We had a lot of really cool ideas, but nothing ever topped night vision goggles. We started out small and the longer we spent going around the table and asking the community for input the more and more insane it became," he said.

"It started out with just a cool stylized case with a fake flashbang and some dogtags, but everyone does dogtags and cool cases. We wanted something that blew you way."

Finally, he reiterated that this rare edition of the game won’t be back for a second run once the original batch dries up. "It was important to us that this be a true collectors' edition and as such, we do one run, and it's finished. The Prestige Edition is NOT something you're going to be seeing on the cheap 2 months after launch,” concluded Bowling.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is due out on November 10.

so im not a hardcore fan because i dont want some stupid ass NVG that i will never even put on and have no use for?

im saddened..

[IamSuprAwsum]

I cannot wait for this game to come out. Ill be getting it the day it hits the shelves for xbox. I fucking loved COD4.

[SayWhaa?]

ill be at walmart @ 11pm that night.

[fresh&clean]

If you had night vison googles believe me you would use them.

[2MuchDuctTape]

Damn I can't wait for this game to come out! I had a hard time getting into COD5, I loved COD4 so much more.

One of my small gripes though was that I couldn't play with a second player AND go online, like Halo 3. I'd like to be able to have a friend over and play on my system while going online, shit is so much fun. Still going to buy it.

Is there anywhere to preorder the prestige edition?

Infinity Ward hints at more Modern Warfare 2 map packs

Robert Bowling, director of communications and community manager at Infinity Ward, has hinted that the company may release yet more map packs for Modern Warfare 2 in addition to the two previously announced post-launch batches.

The two map packs in question were announced at E3 in June and will be released as a timed exclusive for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console, arriving on PlayStation 3 soon after. However, recent comments made by Activision bigwig Mike Griffith suggested that these would be the only map packs released for the hotly anticipated sequel. Not so, according to Bowling.

Speaking to MTV’s Multiplayer Blog, he commented, “As far as DLC goes, we love it and plan to support ‘Modern Warfare 2′ heavily with post-launch support,” “We’ve confirmed we’ll be doing AT LEAST two map packs which were announced at E3 as a timed exclusive for Xbox 360.”

“The fact that we confirmed at least two map packs doesn’t mean there won’t be more; honestly we plan on shaping our DLC based on community feedback from the full game, and first two DLC map packs.

“Therefore, the community will really determine what comes after that.”

50 Cent lends voice to Modern Warfare 2

Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has confirmed that rap star and entrepreneur 50 Cent will be making a cameo appearance in the firm’s eagerly anticipated shooter, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

According Bowling, Fiddy’s part in the sequel forms just one of a few “casual cameos in the game, none of which I can name at this point.” The world famous rapper can be seen in several shots on his website visiting Infinity Ward HQ alongside Good Charlotte members Benji and Joel, who “came along with him when he was here recently to check out his voice in the game.”

Bowling went on to state that Fiddy can be heard during the game’s multiplayer portion blurting out phrases such as “Reloading,” “Watch your fire,” “I’m down, get me up!” and “Tango Down!”

Modern Warfare 2 could be best selling title ever, says GameStop

With anticipating surrounding Infinity Ward’s upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 having almost reached fever pitch, GameStop’s executive vice president of merchandising and marketing, Tony Bartel, has boldly claimed that the shooter "could be the best selling title of all time."

The statement comes following the U.S. retail giants Q2 earnings call, as listened in on by shareholders and various media outlets.

While pondering as to whether or not the hotly anticipated sequel could achieve such a feat, one should consider some interesting figures. The original Modern Warfare – released in 2007 – has to date sold 7.7 million units in North America across all formats. By comparison, the top selling game in that territory, Wii Play, has shifted 11 million copies thus far.

Additionally, if you include sales of games bundled with hardware, Wii Sports holds the crown with almost 24 million units sold to date in the U.S. Essentially, as pointed out by Joystiq, this means that every PS3 and Xbox 360 console owner in North America would have to purchase the Infinity Ward shooter for it to achieve such a milestone.

Regardless, one thing is for sure – it’ll sell like hot cakes either way. Modern Warfare 2 is due out on November 10

Modern Warfare 2 cast details surface

Infinity Ward community boss Robert Bowling has unveiled fresh info on upcoming shooter Modern Warfare 2’s voice talent, confirming that the developer is putting the finishing touches on the "final voice work" of five of the game’s actors.

One of the most recognisable contributors to the sequel is Keith David, who previously appeared in blockbusters including Halo 2, Halo 3 and Mass Effect among others. In addition to his prolific career as a voice actor, David has also appeared in numerous films, such as Requiem for a Dream, They Live and Platoon.

Elsewhere, Bowling confirmed that the cast would be supplemented by the likes of Kevin McKidd (who features in a recurring role in Grey’s Anatomy, and is best known for his portrayal of Tommy in Trainspotting) and Barry Pepper, who previously voiced Prototype’s Alex Mercer and also appeared as a bible-quoting sniper in the brutal WWII epic, Saving Private Ryan.

Bringing up the rear is Glenn Morshower, who recently featured in summer sequel Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and has appeared in over a whopping 150 television shows to date. Finally, Modern Warfare 2 signals the return of British actor Craig Fairbrass, who should ring a bell with fans of the original game for his memorable performance of fellow SAS commando, Gaz. Fairbrass is best known among UK audiences for his portrayal of bad boy Dan Sullivan in EastEnders, and more recently, as violent drug dealer Pat Tate in the gritty crime romp, Rise of the Foot Soldier.
