Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has become the top selling game by selling 9.4 million copies in five days and bringing in $600 million in revenue. This is even higher than Grand Theft Auto IV. The game was so popular that Xbox LIVE hit 2 million simultaneous players at once shortly after the game was released.
However the game was banned in Russia because of a controversial scene in which the main character kills civilians in a Russian airport. The mission is called “No Russian.” Activision agreed to remove this mission in copies that they ship to Russia.

Verizon has responded to AT&T’s lawsuit claiming that the “There’s a map for that” line of advertisements are true. AT&T claims that the Verizon’s map is false and has been seeking a restraining order against the ads.
“AT&T now is attempting to silence Verizon’s ads that include maps graphically depicting the geographic reach of AT&T’s 3G network as compared to Verizon’s own 3G network because AT&T does not like the truthful picture painted by that comparison,” states the filing by Verizon.
