Modern Warfare 2 Avatar gear coming to Live tomorrow

by Xav de Matos on Nov 4th 2009 8:01PM

Are your Avatars ill-equipped to raid a terrorist safe house? Well, good news: Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling (aka fourzerotwo) revealed Modern Warfare 2 gear will soon be available for players to purchase on Xbox Live's Avatar Marketplace.

Revealed in a recent Tweet, Bowling stated that Infinity Ward will upload the content to Xbox Live tomorrow -- which includes the Ghost outfit pictured above. In an email to Joystiq, Bowling confirmed the content will be made available for purchase tomorrow. Until then, we'll sleep soundly knowing that the Avatar world will soon be safe from terrorist scum.

[Thanks, B. Marriner]

Im buying it first

Good luck in life, mate.

Looks like I need to buy some MS points *sigh*...

Will you get out of here with your stupid comments? It's obvious you just wanted to be FIRST without saying it, and even if you weren't, your actual comment tells me you would have too much of a life anyway.

Keep it this up, and I'm gonna have to find you, and I'm gonna fuck you up.

Man, you ladies downvote me for anything
but whatever take my hearts, see if I care

You holier than thou fanboys

We don't downvote you because you are you. We downvote you because you make stupid comments that nobody cares about.

Sprinkles?

what about sprinkles?

I see "holier than thou" i think Sprinkles. But I guess you're probably not sprinkles.

who.....what?

im buying 2nd

The profile says it all. If it's not Sprinkles then it's a doppelganger from another time wave.

Can I atleast know who am I being accused of

no, the profile really doesn't say it all. sprinkles would ALWAYS have names that consist of 3 words, all together, with the first letter of each capitalized. he also always had his profile set to private. it's another PS3 hater/MS lover for sure, but most definitely not sprinkles.

that, and he would have attacked cosmo/chinpoh/whatever the fuck he calls himself by now.

I thought they said they wanted to try and make this free? Either way, many people are going to buy it. It does look pretty cool, but I'm waiting for the ghillie suit.

PLEASE TAKE MORE OF MY MONEY!!

I think avatar gear is geared towards making you spend the last 200 points from your 1000 point purchase you used to buy 800 point DLC.

When you put it that way it's a brilliant scheme that will undoubtedly succeed.

At this point though I really couldn't care less for this stuff. I do like the concept of Avatar Awards though.

Yeah I love avatar awards, after I earned that ODST armor with ease on Waypoint, I felt as if I personally went to everybody who bought the odst armor and slapped them in the face.

Does Modern Warfare 2 have Avatar Awards?

@ Prox

NO!

It's being published by Activision.

Didn't you hear?
Activision is the new EA : |

that avatar looks like he took a shot to the leg

He made off pretty well, considering his owner was shot in the dignity.

You of all people would know what getting shot in the dignity would be like, eh tmac?

It's impossible to hurt my dignity, because I don't make dumb decisions like buying avatar clothes.

Now you...I could go all day.

Oh yeah. Being a multi-millionaire leaves me with absolutely no dignity at all. You sure do got me all figured out...

He does. Money =/= dignity. In fact it's often quite the opposite.

On top of that your a douche living in his moms basement pretending to be ... an even bigger douche. How's that dignity thing working out for you?

I still will not pay money for avatar clothing. Ever.

Seriously, what a waste of money.

Themes, Backgrounds, Avatar clothes and accessories should all be FREE. people buying are just setting us up for the future of more bilking from devs/publishers.

"The avatar items, including the Ghost outfit, will be available for download tomorrow. I asked for some to be free but was denied."
From fourzerotwo's twitter

Thanks a lot Microsoft, you bastards.

Aww, looks like Infinity Ward needs to take another inch of Microsoft's johnson down their gullet before free DLC can happen!

What? You do know that Microsoft does this to all developers right? Remember Left 4 Dead DLC?

Yes, your weak, pencil thin, feminine posing avatar can dress up like a special operative!

if i bought that ghost outfit (which i wont) id make my avatar as short and fat as possible. id be like the bowling ball from that mystery men movie!

"Are your Avatars ill-equipped to raid a terrorist safe house?" Hell no!

3rd Echelon Gear FTW!

i will never EVER buy virtual clothing!!!!!!

Yet, you'll buy armor for your horse that no one will ever see... for shame.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Because it's not gaming unless everything in your room is MW2 branded!

I'd be more than happy to wear this gear on my avatar. If its free.

Talk about a Cash Cow..Jesus christ Activision are milking this bad boy dry.

They should do something like Bungie did with Recon armor. Beat the game on Veteran perhaps? Get some nice Avatar gear.

Keep dreaming. I always wished that was how the avatar items worked, as further incentive to go after achievements, something slightly more tangible than just a score. But no, Microsoft would rather make money off of something that could easily make the xbox simply more enjoyable.

Lol, never said it would happen, but I agree. I always wanted Achievement unlocked avatar pics and themes, as well as avatar clothing. Alas, Microsoft loves to see me empty my wallet.

Avatar awards are coming.

ODST has them.
So does Splosion man - it even has gamerpics & a premium theme!

Just wait - hopefully devs will start adding them to all their future games.

Wait....what game is this for? And why haven't I heard anything about Call of Duty 5?

There is no "5" yet.. there was World at War, and now Modern Warfare 2

I want HCTDM party chat you bastards.

I've never bought avatar clothing ... in Home. I've bought a few sackboy costumes in my day and plenty of other stupid virtual goods (i.e. the awful South park dynamic theme) so who am I to judge if someone wants this? Looks pretty cool I guess.
