Today Gamestop and EB Games confirmed there will be a midnight release of Modern Warfare 2, the highly anticipated sequel in the Call of Duty series. The release is dated for November 10, 2009. Mark your calendars and stock up on the Monster energy drinks.
Modern Warfare 2 is set several years after the conclusion of Call of Duty 4. The radical Russian Ultranationalist organization has returned to prominence under the leadership of Vladimir Makarov, a former associate of Imran Zakhaev with his own ambitions. Makarov has publicized Zakhaev's death as an act of martyrdom to garner support for his cause, enabling him to build a strong power base in Russia over the years. Fearful of Makarov's growing influence, the global community established Task Force 141 to counter the threat posed by the Ultranationalists.
