Damn, talk about a budget! If this is true, I'd love to see the final number on the budget for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
When you want to talk about the big-time composers in movies, Hans Zimmer's name is sure to come up. His music has ruled Hollywood for a long time now. He has hundreds of score credits on the biggest projects, including movies like The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Pearl Harbor, The Da Vinci Code and many more. He's won six Oscars, Six Grammys and a ton of others. If you don't know film music, just know this: Hans Zimmer is the sh*t.
So imagine our surprise when we heard the rumor that Zimmer could be scoring Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The source of this rumor is Zimmer's agency, where his resume lists Modern Warfare 2 under the games section.
Of course, this is far from confirmation. We've hit up our people to get something more official, but we're expecting a firm "No Comment."
If this is true, MW2's score will likely raise the bar for game music.

(He does half-decent scores, but sometimes they all sound too same-y. You know what you're coming in for when you listen to a Zimmer-composed score.)
On topic though, Hans Zimmer is the best film music composer around, I am listening to The Dark Knight soundtrack right now. This would indeed be awesome!
Sounds like an action hero franchise...
"Hans Zimmer" can score it.
MIND BLOWN: AGAIN.
Call of Duty has a history of awesome music, so I suppose I'll just hope that Zimmer doesn't screw it up too badly.
Hans Zimmer is the shit. End of Line.
