Evil publisher Activision believes it will dominate this holiday season, and retail chain GameStop agrees, goingso far as to saythat the shooter could become the biggest game in history. “We expectModern Warfare 2could be the best selling title of all time,” says Tony Bartel, EVP of Merchandising and Marketing.

And the trickle ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2stuff — controllers, multiplayer information, single-player environments, etc., — continues. Earlier this morning Activision released two images stripped from the Infinity Ward-developed shooter, showcasing a snowy locale and some hard-looking (and cold) soldiers.

Also of mention is the helicopter in the second image....

That’s exactly what they did withTransformers: War for Cybertron.
