Modern Warfare 2 to feature duel wielding
It wasn’t until Halo 2 that the franchise saw the ability to duel wield appear so it would only make sense that Infinity Ward would do the same with Modern Warfare 2. That’s right, you will now be able to duel wield weapons in the highly anticipated title using the Akimbo perk.
The above screen shot was taken at the Games Crazy Con that recently went on in Las Vegas where Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling took the main stage to give us a live demo of the game. Sure, the screen shot is blurry but you can definitely make out duel wielded Desert Eagles if you look close enough.
Not to mention the below Tweet from Bowling’s Twitter:
Just walked off stage. Crowd was amazing, went insane chanting “pick it up!” when I stumbled over Dual-wield Deagles. lol – Akimbo confirmed
Modern Warfare 2 will hit store shelve for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 10th of this year.

Call of Duty 1 on Xbox Live and PSN ‘eventually’
If you’ve been paying attention you’ll know that both the Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition and Prestige Edition comes with a token for a digital download the original Call of Duty (now called Call of Duty: Classic).
Well, it looks like those who want just Call of Duty 1 and not Modern Warfare 2 have some time to wait as Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward has commented on the classic’s public availability:
“Prestige and Hardened Edition buyers will be getting access to Call of Duty: Classic first. It’ll eventually be coming out for both Xbox Live Arcade and PSN as a stand-alone arcade game.”
That could mean days or possibly even months after Modern Warfare 2 is released. Alternatively, you can just hop on Amazon.com and purchase the original PC game for under $12. Now that’s a bargain!

Modern Warfare 2 Special Edition to be called Prestige Edition
Robert Bowling, Community Manager over at Infinity Ward, has recently updated his twitter page letting us know that the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Special Edition will in fact be called the Prestige Edition. Those who have played previous Call of Duty games will recognize this term as it is a prominent part of the game’s online play.
Furthermore, Bowling also notified us that sometime this weekend he will post an unboxing revealing the contents of the Prestige Edition. Let’s just hope that it’s something more creative than your run-of-the-mill art book.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC on November 10th, 2009.
