    "  We’ve been hearing about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s super secret multiplayer modes since November, but until now, the discussion has been focused on the PC version of the game.

    Well, as Modern Warfare 2 Blog reports, it turns out that some intrepid Xbox 360 players have found a way to unlock one of these hidden modes, Global Thermonuclear War, and they were kind enough to create a few gameplay videos to prove it. Why, here's one now:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e6EW9MeFZc

    Microsoft announced during their CES 2010 keynote address that the first round of downloadable content for MW2 would be releasing exclusively on the 360 this spring. Could these hidden maps be part of that DLC? Doesn’t seem that hard to believe. I guess time will tell." 
      
    Looks pretty neat. I think it's going to be a massive campfest around where the nuke is, but it's something new.

    Yet another game mode I'll try once or twice before going back to the regular standbys.

    This has been posted before, but I don't have the link handy. 
     
    Regardless, if it becomes "paid DLC"...then I can guarantee there will be a crazy mad uproar over it.

    Do you think that if you set off the nuke it will count towards your nuke count in the game?

    I read that it does count for your Nuke total. Owing to the fact IW was all about 'accessibility', and not everyone can get a nuke otherwise, it almost has to count.

    If they released this as paid DLC then I'll be ticked. IW has too many strikes against them already.

    This looks like a stupid gametype anyways. I would rather they made it like CoD: WaW's War gametype than this. At least that had some sort of progression. But I guess IF is too stuck up to incorporate something that Treyarch did...asses...

    Is it really safe to be flinging grenades around a nuke like that?

    Unlikely going to be DLC. The much more reasonable solution of release is a patch.
     
    it might have not been part of the stock release but probably as part of the patches released and currently used for testing.

    You expect Activision/Infinity Ward to give something away for free?

    This doesn´t seem worth buying. Looks like a 1 point domination to me.

     Kid hackers? Nice to know that you think that these kids yelling profanities into their mics all the time are the ones who hack things and figure out how to hack things rather then intelligent people.

    Even with everyone thinking Activisions wants your moneys or whatever, it's unreasonable and stupid to release a mode only with a price. Also did we pay anything for getting rid of the javelin glitch? I will rephrase my initial statement: It's unlikely going to be DLC by itself but as more of a bonus for map pack users. If not, a reasonable solution is a patch.
     
    I don't see why it would be there besides doing some private testing.

    Hopefully this is just going to be thrown in with the next Map Pack. If it's presented any other way there will be hell to pay for IW.

    @CL60: My bad . I kinda misconstrued what I meant I guess . I know that it isnt kids wholly , I know that it takes an intelligent person to do it :P but , anyone can learn I guess .
