Unencyclopedic Language

I've briefly browsed through the article and noticed several instances of language that doesn't belong. For instance: "Unfortunately, on the Xbox 360 version of the game, Third Person Cage Match has been deleted off the playlists. This was because of people "Boosting" their levels. Infinity Ward obviously didnt make the game for that purpose, so they deleted it." There's several other examples of this throughout the article as well. 173.74.86.42 (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This was vandalism that was cleaned up. ferret (talk) 12:18, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wii Version?

The MW2 Article claims that a Wii Version has been confirmed for Fall 2010. There has been no confirmation and that cover seen on that gamestop survey was actually a fanmade cover

Stimulus Package Info Incorrect

It states in the article that the maps are not used in regular modes. About a week or 2 ago they made it so that stimulus package maps were also randomly selected, but if you don't have the map pack you will be kicked out of the game when the session begins, so players can skip the map and continue playing, unless it picks another stimulus map of course. This is probebly to increase sales. Absorr2 (talk) 21:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We should also indicate that it was also released May 4 for the PC through steam. Not sure if the editors were waiting for a secondary source. Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 19:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Free multi-player weekend

This seems to be more than a one-time thing, as Valve is again doing it this weekend. 70.254.192.188 (talk) 01:25, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not unique to MW2 though, about every 3-4 weeks Steam has a free game weekend. Other notable mentions include L4D, TF2, Killing Floor, etc. ferret (talk) 12:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glitch Fix?

Does anyone know where to find the list of changes for the updates? So to know what 'glitches' have been fixed. So far, the seams are beginning to look more... seamless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.233.222.197 (talk) 16:24, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resurgence Package

I just thought I'd let you guys know the new Modern Warfare 2 map pack entitled Resurgence Pack has been announced for a timed exclusive 360 release of June 3rd. It features 5 maps at the same 1,200MSP price point. It features Vacant and Strike from Call of Duty 4, along with 3 other maps including a carnival and a trailer park.

Multiplayer Maps

I don't know if its of enough importance for an article but could we have an article for all Modern Warfare 2 maps which brief section on each map? For that matter, these could be used for previous Call of duty games. Or is this too unimportant to be contributed? Teesideeeee (talk) 14:40, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not too sure but I do remember reading that the IW 4.0 engine makes the map file sizes smaller than that of COD4 and COD:WAW. Might have been IGN so I won't add to the article.
