Modern Warfare 2, a video game that some analysts say could be the biggest entertainment launch ever, comes out tonight at midnight. The latest Call of Duty game officially releases Tuesday, so many stores will be selling the highly anticipated shooter as soon as the clock strikes 12 tonight. They include Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Gamestop. The game will be available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Last year's release of Grand Theft Auto IV has been touted as the biggest entertainment launch in history with first-week sales of about $500 million. Modern Warfare 2 is receiving even more buzz than GTA IV, though, and there are more than twice as many PS3 owners and 50 percent more 360 owners now, compared with when GTA IV launched. Will you be in line for MW2?
