MW2 Election Day Copypasta

Yeah, it's just like that...

Destructoid had a guest op-ed on IW's ultraviolent leaked vid. In the spirit of Point/Counterpoint, Destructoid has a view from the opposite camp. On to the links...

• The Modern Warfare 2 Dedicated Server Petition has reached 177,000 sigs.
• Meanwhile, it's predicted that MW2 will clear $500 million US during launch week. No wonder IW is wiping its collective ass with the PC petition.
• PCWorld has an article about the leaked vid, wondering whether the gameplay depicted is artistic.
• The Escapist has an article on the leaked perks & killstreaks.
• GameSpy has an article up on the disabled party chat in MW2 Xbox Live multiplayer.
• Fourzerotwo has tweeted that NCIS writer Jesse Stern also worked on Modern Warfare 2's storyline.
  
• Even the World Series has MW2 fodder, as Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels and Yankees players Nick Swisher and Jerry Hairston will team up for a NYC Modern Warfare 2 launch event. No word on whether A.J. Burnett will be there to shoot his team-mates claymores and accidentally shoot them in the back of the head.
