Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series.

Game Features:

* Epic single-player campaign picks up immediately following the thrilling events from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
* The definitive multiplayer experience returns, with a host of new perks and enhancements.
* New cooperative SpecOps mode, the perfect combination of Modern Warfare's single-player intensity and the addictive replayability of its multiplayer.

Violent computer game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was last night revealed as the biggest-selling product on Internet shopping site Amazon this year.

It is the first time a video game has been named Amazon’s most popular purchase of the year.

The brutal game lets players join in with terrorists rampaging through an airport as they murder unarmed civilians.

The game was only released last month but is set to be the biggest-selling computer game across the world ever.

But since it's release, critics have been deeply concerned that the release trivialises acts of terrorism and will fall into the hands of youngsters despite the 18 certificate.

The best-selling Xbox 360 game of all-time gets even bigger with more epic new multiplayer content, first on Xbox LIVE! The Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack delivers five incredible new multiplayer maps. Take the action to exciting new locations, then battle across legendary landscapes from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

* "Carnival," a large abandoned theme park that offers lots of unique vantage points that work well for all game modes. The once vibrant rides now sit idle and neglected as perfect cover points in one of the most original multiplayer locations for Modern Warfare 2.
* "Fuel," a massive oil refinery with extremely long sightlines great for medium- to long-range firefights. The spacious surroundings offer a great sniper advantage; offices, warehouses, and buildings house objectives and provide opportunity for close-range firefights.
* "Trailer Park," a medium-sized mobile estate with a maze of tight flank routes and lots of cover. Junk covered yards, deserted trailers, and debris-riddled surroundings offer intense firefights with a wide variety of vantage points and routes available.
* "Strike," a large urban desert town, excellent for medium-to-large team games. The large monument, connecting streets, and surrounding buildings offer great firefights in Team Deathmatch, and great vantage points for objective team games.
* "Vacant," a deserted Russian office complex offering a great mixture of interior and exterior combat. Long hallways with minimal cover points offer a fast escape route for potential runners, but high accuracy and fast aiming is required when advancing through this large complex.
