Modern Warfare 2 tops Eurogamer's November anticipation list

Activision's forthcoming shooter sequel Modern Warfare 2 is top of the most anticipated list of releases for November, heading both the total users and registered users rankings.

The game, which Activision has previously suggested will be the biggest entertainment release of 2009, was way ahead of its rivals in the latest edition GamesRetail.biz, a free industry newsletter aimed at the retail and publishing communities.

In the total users list Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 for the Wii placed second, ahead of new IP from Electronic Arts in the form of Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins - those two ahead of two more sequels in Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassin's Creed 2.

Meanwhile the ranking for the registered Eurogamer users - a list which represents the slightly more dedicated core user group - put Modern Warfare at the top ahead of Dragon Age: Origins in second place, with Assassin's Creed and Left 4 Dead 2 taking third and fourth places respectively.
