Speaking in an interview with MCV, Activision’s UK Managing Director, Andrew Brown has spoke about the launch of the title and the faith his company have in UK retail, despite there being a number of gamers who have their hands on the title already courtesy of Zavvi, LoveFilm and The Hut.
After stating he believes that UK retail are ‘holding the line’, he also comments on the midnight launch events that are happening across the country:
“There will be more midnight openings than there have been for any other game in the history of gaming in the UK.”
Seems like a record-claiming attempt from Activision already. We’re sure to expect plenty of ‘biggest launch’, ‘highest profile launch’ and ‘highest number of ranked matches played online in the UK over a period of 3.5 days’ record-claiming statements following the game’s launch.
Let us know in the comments how you’re getting Modern Warfare 2 on November 10th on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Or if you already have it.
