The State of Gaming - Battlefield Bad Company 2

Modern Warfare 2 has Major Reputational Problems!
Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 was released in early November last year.  In the intervening period, Infinity Ward have released two patches to fix some major bugs and exploits, but have refused to say anything about DLC or its contents apart from it being released in Spring. Just this [...]

The State of Gaming - Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2

Has Infinity Ward done it again with their latest incantation of the Call of Duty brand?
