Activision will take over Leicester Square on Monday 9th November to launch what could be the biggest game ever, Modern Warfare 2.

The ODEON cinema will host a screening of the game compered by "a celebrity fan". Could this be the return of Ian Wright, Ricky Hatton, Pat Cash and Nell McAndrew - "The Pastel Pack"?

Then, at midnight, the doors to HMV Trocadero will swing open and sales will begin. A secret VIP party in an underground bunker will also begin, starring "one of the UK's biggest male artists of 2009". Is it Dizzee Rascal? Michael Buble? Leon from last year's X-Factor?

Modern Warfare 2 goes on sale worldwide on Tuesday 10th November. That gives the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game nearly a whole week to amass top-notch figures. Not long now.

Don't forget that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for Wii and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Moblized for DS launch on the same day. They're obviously different.
