Modern Warfare 2 Hidden Multiplayer Modes Could Be Future DLC
It's no secret that PC gamers are none too happy with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. While some saw boycotting the game as the solution, others have decided to take a much more productive approach and tear into the game's code for buried treasure. And buried treasure they found, with three multiplayer modes hidden on the disc that aren't currently available to play in matchmaking.
The three multiplayer modes are: One Flag CTF, VIP, and Global Thermonuclear War. The first two operate as you would expect them to, having appeared in countless online games in the past. The third mode, Global Thermonuclear War, sounds far more interesting with players racing to capture and detonate a nuclear bomb. The three new modes have been tested on the Afghan and Favela maps and are fully functional game modes.
Activision has already claimed that new multiplayer modes will come out for Modern Warfare 2 in the form of DLC, so it is very likely that future DLC will simply unlock these modes on the disc. The real question then is how much Activision is going to charge for it. I would hope, especially now that ith as been revealed that the content is already on the disc, that it would be a free download in a couple of months as a way of keeping players interested with new content. But considering how successful the boycott of the game has been, the message has been loud and clear: When Call of Duty is involved Activision can name its price. I expect it to cost at least $9.99.

Global Thermonuclear War?
HAH!
I wonder if someone in the office really loved the 1983 movie War Games!
^^ There are sooooooooo many references in the game that relate to movies. This is just one of the many many few ;-)
Can we just go club Activision?? They need to look at how EA went from the Devil to an actually good distributor. Why can't companies learn from each others mistakes?
