In case you have been under a rock for the past little while, Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 is now available at retail stores nationwide, and not just in those stores that decided to sell it before the street date..

"From day one the goal was to bring our fans around the world the most riveting and authentic experience we've ever created in Modern Warfare 2," said Vince Zampella, CEO of Infinity Ward. "Every design from the smallest detail was crafted to place gamers in the center of their own epic, action movie -- with the suspense, excitement and adrenaline as if they were starring themselves."

Picking up following the events of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 immerses players in one of the most intense storylines, filled with unexpected plot twists and death-defying battles set in exotic locales across the globe. As gamers fight to save the world from annihilation, the soundtrack of Academy Award, Golden Globe Award and Grammy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer sets the dark and ominous tone for a truly cinematic gaming experience. Modern Warfare 2 marks the first time that the legendary artist has scored a video game.
