As the man serving behind the counter said…”ENJOY”!

Monday night marked the official retail launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 across the UK and the world.

Dedicated fans who didn’t pre-order online (and with the UK postal issues that wasn’t a bad idea) lined up for midnight openings to get their hands on a copy.

“I can’t wait, it was so worth it, I’m gonna be up all night”. Those were just some of the outrageous comments by those braving the arctic temperatures, as GameShadow witnessed the hype and beeping of the tills as the various copies flew off the shelves.

Expect the number of people off work or school, or “working from home”, to increase drastically today as fans take control and experience what has been a worldwide phenomenon.

As expected, it’s on course to break records for week one sales and become the biggest entertainment source this year and well into next.

Roll on Modern Warfare 3.

GameShadow will be attending its local HMV store for a special Monday midnight Modern Warfare 2 opening.

Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK, will be the setting where the fans will be gathering to get their hands on the biggest game of the year.

All the news will be delivered, so see you there if you’re making the trip to get a slice of the action.
