Today's featured MW2 vid is an unbelievable Chopper Gunner killfeed (that's the string of who killed who with what messages on the lower left side of the HUD). On a Favela Ground War match, his buddy racks up the score and the Chopper icon seems permanently pasted to the killfeed. It's like a buffet of chopper gunner kills. The second vid is a factoid vid about the Pavelow killstreak with a bonus game with a Tactical Nuke finish with a sprinkling of Booster Hunting. Finally, tho Booster Justice 3 hasn't posted, we have a Sandy Ravage SPAS-12 rampage on a Domination match on Wasteland. On to the links:

From that article: "Evan Wilson, an industry analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, said: 'Investors are starting to think that Activision really ticked off the whole studio.' Industry observers said that Activision remained in a strong position. It also owns two other major games franchises, World of Warcraft and Guitar Hero. However, the company’s stock price has fallen more than 7.5 per cent this week."
