A Happy Ending: Modern Warfare 2 Launch

After a slew of Modern Warfare 2 posts, I promise this will be the last. The game officially launched today, though many fans were able to pick up early copies yesterday as well. Unlike the last posts, which have largely dealt with Infinity Ward's missteps, the story of the game took a much more pleasant turn for its release date.

Kotaku published yesterday that Activision "plans to unveil a $1 million backed non-profit corporation designed to help soldiers transition to civilian careers."

After such a string of seemingly odd choices and strained controversies, the Call of Duty franchise appears to want to use its fame and success to help promote a social interest cause. As many players of Modern Warfare have served in the military, the gesture is not likely to fall on deaf ears.
