Modern Warfare 2 beta proves that Call of Duty is still a hit

Looking at the poor results of Call of Duty: Vanguard it's quite clear that the launch of Modern Warfare 2 will have a decisive impact on the future of the franchise. Fortunately, the community of Call of Duty fans seems to be more than ready to support the franchise. This has been demonstrated on the first day of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta. There were more than 110,000 concurrent players giving the game a try on the first day of the beta event on Steam. It's quite a big number when you consider that it does not include Xbox or PlayStation players. Also, only people that have pre-ordered the game had access to the beta at that point. 

It's worth noticing that Call of Duty has been absent from Valve's platform for over five years now. Activision moved the game to Battle.net after merging with Blizzard in a move that didn't please all the fans. There are many players that love to see the game back on Steam and they have rushed to buy it to enjoy the beta. Therefore, choosing the appropriate platform may become a complicated decision for those that were forced to get accustomed to Battle.net back in the day. In any case, you can rest assured because will be able to play with your friends no matter what platform they choose.
