NEW YORK YANKEES/PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES GAME FOR FAME MATCH AND LIVE
PERFORMANCES BY DJ'S JAZZY JEFF AND QUESTLOVE
It's time to gear up for all-out, high-speed action and epic combat, as
the most anticipated game of the year, developer Infinity Ward's Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be available at retail stores everywhere as of
midnight, November 10th. Modern Warfare 2 unleashes a new threat upon the
world, putting gamers on the front lines of an epic, global battle that has
advanced onto American soil, proving that no one is safe from an impending
invasion.
In anticipation of the launch of Modern Warfare 2, Activision, along with
GameStop and Microsoft, hosted a major first-to-play event in New York City's
Union Square where hundreds of fans gathered to be among the first-to-play
the game before its midnight release and witness a grudge match for the ages,
as Philadelphia Phillies star pitcher Cole Hamels guided a Modern Warfare 2
multiplayer team against a squad led by New York Yankees CC Sabathia and
Jerry Hairston.
Several celebrity guests along with entertainment and gaming industry
VIPs were on-hand to play the game and enjoy music by DJ Jazzy Jeff and DJ
Questlove.
