More Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 news has been spilt over the past 24 hours.

A list of mission names has been revealed, Terminal, Evasion, Estate Takedown and Suspension are just a few, in no particular order.

These details have come hot on the heals of the Infamy Trailer and the news of the PC edition now being released on November 24.

The news that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be getting a map pack in 2010 was widely known, but has now been confirmed on drink cans.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 branded Monster Energy drinks will offer the chance to take part in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Combat Training Experience.

Prizes including copies of the game and consoles are also up for grabs.

As the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 draws closer, the hype is starting to build and become frenzied.

Every trailer or video that gets released drives the hype and whets the appetite of potential players.

It is debated whether the Infinity Ward developed title will break records for week one sales and beat Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV from 2008, only time will tell.

A plethora of content, a strong franchise, pre-orders advertised for over 6 months, midnight store openings and a massive publishing push. These terms could be applied to either of the two previously mentioned games. Activision though is aiming to make Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the entertainment source of the year, ahead of other big game releases and ahead of top music, TV and movie releases.

Who would bet against them succeeding?

Call of Duty: World at War’s Map Pack 3 is just hours away from hitting Xbox Live and PSN, and to whet your appetite Treyarch has released this launch trailer.

PC gamers will have to wait a short while for Map Pack 3 which is expected to be released with the next PC update.

Of course GameShadow will notify you as soon as this is available.

Activision and Treyarch have announced Map Pack 3 for Call of Duty: World at War.

Map Pack 3 will be released in August and will feature three multiplayer maps, Battery, Revolution and Breach.

Plus a new Zombie map will also be available, called Der Riese.

You can also download the Der Riese Trailer via GameShadow.

Call of Duty: World at War has sold over 11 million copies to date.

The announcement was made by Activision and developer Treyarch.

The first person shooter was released in November 2008 and has recently been boosted by the addition of two Map Packs.

The highly anticipated Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 Zombie Trailer has been released.

It showcases the Shi No Numa (Zombie Swamp) with typical action-packed shooter style.

The first Map Pack achieved a record number of downloads via XBOX Live and Playstation Network, with PC gamers grabbing it via the V1.40 patch.

Activision and Treyarch have announced Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2.

It will deploy in June for the XBOX 360 and PS3, supplying players with 3 new multiplayer maps and 1 new zombie map.

Map Pack 1 had storming success when it was released in March 2009.

As we predicted a few weeks back, details on Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 have surfaced.

We know that GameShadow has a big number of Call of Duty users and they’ll be pleased to hear of the first Map Pack heading to the XBOX 360 and PS3 this month, with the PC edition at a later date.

The Nazi Zombie Level found in Map Pack 1 looks to be the main draw.

Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been confirmed and is set to be released in Autumn 2009.

Could this be the start of 2 franchises? Treyarch’s Word at War franchise and Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare.

The more cynical among us will probably refer to the different franchises as 3 & 3.5 and 4 & 4.5…

Anyway, Taliban Zombie Bonus Mode anyone?

I’m guessing a few of you have played Call of Duty: World at War online by now. Some of you may even have unlocked Prestige Mode…?

Unfortunately I’m not there yet. I think I’m on level 32 so no PPSh for me =’(

Share what your favourite class is? what level you are? and will you be going down the prestige route?
