Many of us have heard already that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 could possibly be delayed for PC gamers. We have also heard many rumors as to why the possibilities of this could be. After reading many articles on BASHandSLASH.com and other sites, I have come to the conclusion that it is probably really delayed. However, according to the facts it has not been delayed. Activision and Infinity Ward have yet to officially make a comment on the suspected rumor. Many respected individuals from the PC community as well as the Console community have commented on the possible delay and they are in a unanimous decision that it is delayed. The individuals I speak of are Jockyitch from BASHandSLASH.com; Jim (Rudedog) from fpsadmin.com; and Chris (Xiao) from Blackmonkeys.de.
Here is a link to a podcast that was produced by Jockyitch on the subject. I strongly recommend that if you have an extra hour to spare, you listen to it and then make a conclusion for yourself on the rumors.

Here is another link to comments and analysis of certain things said by IW and Activison staff regarding the possible delay.

I also went and talked with my local Gamestop where I pre-ordered the game. The girl in there looked up on the computer and said that they have not yet received a change in the release date. She also stated that usually if a release date is going to be changed they find out 3-5 days before the scheduled release so that they have time to change their midnight release date and notifiy pre-order customers. So unless IW or Activision makes an official statement, it looks like we will find out a few days before the scheduled release.
