All Xbox 360 owners treat yourself as Super Elite. Yes, no kidding because Activision has no plans for PS3 Modern Warfare 2 bundle.

This sad news for PS3 owners comes when Activision rudely replied when asked about the probability of PS3 Modern Warfare 2 bundle. Activision said, “No, there are no plans, but thank you for asking.”

It very well seems that Xbox 360 always gets cool game-themed redesigns such as Halo 3, Bayonetta, Resident Evil 5. Modern Warfare 2 is an additional one.

At a LA event recently Activision unveiled a 250GB limited edition Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360.

So, no rival for Xbox. Sony would not say anything about this whether they would release a pack of their own.

modern_warfare_2New York Times on September 10 carried a special article on video games. The article titled as ‘10 Video Games You Can Count On’ written by renowned columnist Seth Schiesel, counts Modern Warfare 2 as one of the important video games releasing this fall.

He says that in recent years many publishers feel that a big game can succeed only if released after Labor Day. But there is also a problem with this that there are in pipeline many major games to be released within weeks of one another and in such a situation many games sometimes goes unnoticed.

Well, for Modern Warfare 2, Schiesel says that this game will be a successful game. The writes: “Without question the most anticipated title of the fall for core gamers, Modern Warfare 2 is expected to succeed its predecessor as the most sophisticated and intense yet accessible digital rendition of today’s battlefields. Of course it’s still a game, but Modern Warfare 2, set largely in Central Asia, is meant to get players as close to the action as possible without actually strapping on a flak jacket.”

As the date nears for the released of Modern Warfare 2, there will be lots of news and features in newspapers and magazines. Do share if you come across such news.

Recently in a multiplayer trailer it was revealed that Modern Warfare 2 will be allowing gamers in customizing their killstreak rewards loadout. The trailer failed to expose what exactly gamers will be able to do with this feature, but Robert Bowling cleared things up little bit.

He said, “You can have a three killstreak or a fifteen killstreak if you want, or something like the AC-130 is one of the highest killstreaks you can select… You take control of that and can fire down for thirty seconds, blow guys up.”

From the trailer and few screenshots it has been made clear that at least 4 new or modified weapons will be there the game. ComputerAndVideogames also reveals about the multiplayer mode’s custom killstreak.

The latest updates are that there will be two submachine guns and also two assault rifles. One seems to be a modified version of COD4 gun and other three is suppose to be brand new.

The newest and the unusual is the Tavor TAR-21, the latest Israeli-made assault rifle. FN SCAR-H is the next new assault rifle and H&K UMP .45 is the new sub machine gun.

Two new images have been released by Activision. Now it is confirmed that helicopters are there in the game. It’s a snowy location in the images and we can also see few hard-looking (cold) soldiers.

We can see the soldiers being equipped with nasty guns, ski goggles, and Wal-Mart face coverings. It looks that these soldiers are on the way to hurt something.
