According to Activision-Blizzard Modern Warfare 2 may be delayed by up to two weeks before being released for PC’s. The much anticipated game was originally scheduled for release in conjunction with the Game Box releases.

On November 10th 2009, Call of Duty will be available on each of the leading game formats. Nintendo’s Wii will offer Call of Duty using the Modern Warfare subtitle, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex. Nintendo DS’s will use the moniker Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Mobilized. Infinity Ward’s release will be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for both the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 (PS3). At the moment it appears that the PC release called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, won’t be available until November 24th 2009.

There has not been an official reason given as yet but suspicion is that manufacturing delays are to blame. It is also possible that the delay is necessary to counteract piracy issues – a common problem with large scale releases as seen with Image Red Faction: Guerrilla and Capcom’s 2009 big three releases. Publishers are under pressure to ship sufficient quantities of their titles to meet demand for the upcoming Christmas season and given that Modern Warfare 2 will sell more in retail outlets for game consoles than online for the PC market it’s probable that Activision-Blizzard will delay the PC release in order to meet the demand for retail consoles. At present the delays should only be considered rumors and we will alert you to any new information as it happens. If you want to stay up to date please subscribe to our feed.
