SAN FRANCISCO - "Modern Warfare 2" strikes on Tuesday in a worldwide assault eagerly anticipated by lovers of the blockbuster role-playing battle video game franchise.
Video game publisher Activision Blizzard believes that the sixth instalment in the "Call of Duty" franchise could be the most powerful entertainment industry launch of the year, outshining even Hollywood blockbusters.
Activision has predicted that "MW2" will be such a hit that the California-based company will see record operating margins. Pre-orders for the 60-US-dollar video game are the highest in the firm's history.
