It's official - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 set for this year

Activision Blizzard's CFO drops the news that we'll get Modern Warfare 2 for the end of year holidays.

Speaking at the annual Wedbush Morgan Securities meeting, the Chief Financial Officer of Activision Blizzard has uttered the words that many a P90-abusing fan has been waiting for.

"Last year we had probably beaten most expert expectations by growing the Call of Duty franchise over the tremendous success that was the first iteration of Modern Warfare," said CFO Thomas Tippl. "For 2009, Modern Warfare is coming back; we expect it will be the most anticipated game of the year. Perhaps the number one game of the year despite the fact that it's only going to launch in the holiday season."

Normally we'd make fun of such a bold prediction, coming from a CFO, no less. But given that many pip CoD4 as one of the great shooters, we think Tippl may be on to something.

Either way, it's certainly made our Christmas wishes for this year pretty clear.

CoD 6: Modern Warfare 2 sounds better then? my most anticipated game is already out and on my hdd, thanks Mr Tippl.. this isnt even in my top 5.. although as long as treyarch have nothing to do with it, and it doesnt get raped too much by the publishers, i might end up buying it when its half price (like i did with cod4)
