At the Microsoft Event in LA, Infinity Ward unveiled the multiplayer mode for Modern Warfare 2.
The multiplayer already posted “Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console” the presentation began with the unveiling of the Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Xbox 360 console, (check out the previous article for more details) Once the Limited edition console was preseted Infinity Ward moved on to demonstate several of the new multiplayer features that will be available in the sequel.
Some of the new features are : Customizable killstreaks. Players can now choose which killstreaks they want enabled, with a list of unlockable streaks available in the pre game menu system. The Killstreak features included the UAV at 3 kills, a care package at 4 kills, which could consist of killstreak random bonus or ammunition, and at 11 kills a AC-130 Gunship to chop down your enemies like a hot knife through butter !!
New to Modern Warfare 2 multiplayers is the death streaks, these are bonuses earned for dying multiple times in a row .. (something a lot of us are used to doing). Such bonuses are : Copycat : This gifts you the class and weapons of the player that killed you after four consecutive deaths. The other bonus is a health increase after three deaths, this will become available after you respawn.

Sony has released a new firmware to fix the problems that the 3.0 firmware update caused for many PS3 owners. The update is not a mandatory update and will not kick you off an online session or require you to update your system. This is purely your choice.
At the moment this new patch might no fix any other problems or add any new content. It will however fix the previous freeze problems and glitches that the 3.0 firmware has caused for some users. As previously stated the update is totally up you and would probably be recommended.
One of the new options from the update is to remove the shiney sparles from the XMB and go back to the classic theme.
There are no other changes apart from that. A few users reported freeze points in certain games such as uncharted. So it is recommended to go through and check your games to make sure all are running fine.

Eidos and Warner Bros. have announced the first downloadable content for the critical and commercial hit Batman: Arkham Asylum. On September 17, the Insane Night Map Pack will be available free of charge on both Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.
The DLC will contain two new additions for the game’s challenge mode, a freeflow combat challenge and an invisible predator level. The combat challenge, dubbed “Totally Insane,” will add the Asylum’s resident lunatics to the mix. The lunatics, players may remember, had the characteristically insane habit of charging wildly at Batman with no concern for their own personal safety, and should make an interesting addition to the usual intensity of the combat challenges. The invisible predator challenge is called “Nocturnal Hunter.” Both challenges will be set in the game’s secure records facility, a place unvisited in the original challenges.
