Infinity Ward heard that you like spending fake moon money on fake moon clothes for your fake moon person. That's right folks, Modern Warfare 2-branded Avatar nonsense is coming to Xbox Live. Aren't you excited? I just coughed up a kitten I was so overjoyed.
Quite what the Avatar items will be yet, we don't know, but IW's Robert Bowling has stated that he hopes a number of them will be free. Avatar Rewards look unlikely, however. I can't believe I am writing this as if it's a serious and worthwhile news article.
Journalism, folks. Pure journalism.
Check out more upsetting Modern Warfare 2 news or watch the latest trailer. Is this why Washington is burning?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
GAHHHHHHH
Thanks guys. Freaking retarded.
I don't really like Moon money, though I will take some Spacebucks if you have any...
And I hate my fucking avatar. Gamerpictures are better.
Also, buying things for your avatar prevents you from using your avatar on another xbox 360 using a memory device, because Microsoft are thick shits.
"Hey look, more useless stuff that will vanish when your 360 RRODs!"
I must insist, it is PS3 users who lose all their data when they get a system error. It is ridiculous to expect gamers to back up their saves like that.
The only way you lose your content is if you're too stupid to remove the hard drive. On PS3, most people don't have the tools or patience to get the HDD out. Oh, and I can trade or sell my HDD a hell of a lot easier too if I decide to get a new one. Not to mention transfer my data easier with that cable at my local game store.
@Other people
And yeah, you can redownload anything you have previously downloaded, which includes avatar clothes, which you can redownload on another console using your account, thereby negating the 'avatar incompatibility' argument. Plus avatars are slowly being supported in games, and my entire friends list can see my avatar (unlike Home), so while it may not be the most useful thing in the world, it isn't useless.
@Jim
Shut up and stop bitching. I used to enjoy your posts but lately it's been nothing but a) Bitching about PSPGo or b) Bayonetta.
