First Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 details leak [update: fake]

no tag view

The info about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 turned out to be fake. If you still want to read the original story, feel free to read it after the break.

A QA tester from Infinity Ward must have had a bad day at work, as he leaked a lot of details about the sequel to 2007’s hit game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The ‘incident’ happened on 402’s blog (fourzerotwo is the online handle of Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward’s community manager), the user was then banned and the comment deleted. Now, obviously, these have to be taken with a grain of salt, but if these claims have any credibility, prepare for the most boring sequel ever.
Take a look at the list after the jump.
