CoffeewithGames.Blogspot.com shows the game-play data for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex and The Conduit.

CwG breaks down the play-time hours, number of players reporting data, review score averages, and sale ranks for the games.

CwG says in one section, "The Conduit has 1,384,288 Total Hours reported, an increase of 17,519 hours from last week.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex has 1,989,040 Total Hours reported, an increase of 119,706 hours."

Steam has kicked off the free Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Steam weekend, now available for all to play, additionally the game has been given a discount to celebrate the event.

XXLGaming writes, "Microsoft today confirmed that last week’s release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package shattered Xbox LIVE® records as more than one million gamers worldwide downloaded the new map pack from Activision and Infinity Ward in the first 24 hours alone, surpassing the 2.5 million mark within the first week."

Gaming Union writes, "Bugs, glitches and crashes in retail and downloadable games have made headlines more and more in recent months, in large part thanks to huge titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and a number of others that have been plagued with bugs. This has left many wondering where the Quality Assurance teams, better known as game testers, have been. Are they asleep at the wheel? In fact, many gamers bet they could make better testers than those employeed by the bug-ridden AAA titles. Pondering this, we sat down with third-party Quality Assurance company, The Ant Firm, and ask them if the regular gamer could really make the grade and prevent the next Modern Warfare 2 fiasco."

Gameplay video of Stimulus Package DLC, that is coming for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

A lot of games recieved well recieved recognition tonight at the Bafta’s, although nothing compares to recieving the covented ‘Game of The Year’ award – Batman Arkham Asylum prevailed tonight recieving this award while up against such AAA tiles as:

* Assassin’s Creed II

* Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

* FIFA 10

* Left 4 Dead 2

* Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

CoffeewithGames.Blogspot.com says, "The Conduit had 141 days, or 4 months and 18 days, of reporting data, before Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex was released on November 10, 2009.

I think the data clearly shows that Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex players are playing the game a lot more than The Conduit is being played, even though there are currently fewer players reporting data for Call of Duty, than there are for The Conduit."

The Lost Gamer writes "Robert Bowling, Director of Communications and Community Manager for Infinity Ward, appeared on Major Nelson’s podcast this week to discuss the recently announced "Stimulus Package" Map Pack for the hugely successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2."
