Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will launch in October

As revealed via cargo ship

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a developer or publisher blow a bunch of money on a big, dumb videogame announcement, but then here comes Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The remake of Infinity Ward’s famous (and infamous?) first-person shooter will release on October 28th, and Activision Blizzard decided to reveal some of its character art via the medium of a real world cargo ship.

Here’s a video:

Yes. They put part of the character art on the Port of Long Beach, California, and the rest of it on the surface of a cargo ship. Then they slowly, no doubt expensively, manouvered the cargo ship into port to complete the picture. Why? I don’t know what to to tell you.

If nothing else, it’s nice to have a release date for a game that’s coming out in the back half of this year, even if it is the predictably yearly Call Of Duty.
