FULL STORY ======================================================================

Artwork for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has briefly appeared on Steam, fuelling speculation that Activisions massive FPS series could be returning
to Valves storefront with its next release.

The Modern Warfare 2 art was spotted by Reddit user u/Kalinine on a banner image advertising the Call of Duty franchise. It featured series regular
Ghost and appeared to be the same image that Activision used to tease the upcoming shooter's release date.

The banner has since been edited to remove the errant image, although not before u/Kalinine had captured and uploaded it to Reddit. If you now head to
a Steam page featuring the banner, such as the Black Ops 3 DLC page , youll see a blank version at the bottom.

Its brief appearance has fuelled speculation that Call of Duty will be returning to Steam with the release of Modern Warfare 2. The series stopped appearing on Steam after the launch of 2017s Call of Duty: WWII , with every title from Black Ops 4 onwards releasing on Activisions Battle.net PC client. mwii_artwork_shows_up_on_steam from r/ModernWarfareII Back home

The artwork has certainly raised a few eyebrows, but it by no means
guarantees that Modern Warfare 2 will be hitting Valves storefront when it releases later this year. While its appearance could be taken as an early
sign that Activision is reversing Call of Dutys Battle.net exclusivity, its just as likely the image appeared in error. A graphic designer at Activision HQ might have simply pulled from the wrong asset pile.

Call of Dutys return to Steam would be no minor event. The franchise
continues to draw in huge numbers of players, with the latest installment, Call of Duty: Vanguard , ranking among the top-ten most-played games of this year. If the main series makes its way back to Valves storefront, battle royale spin-off Warzone might follow suit, too.

It wont be long before we know for sure. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is expected to hit shelves on October 28. Weve seen very little of the game so far, outside of a live-action reveal trailer , the games logo , and the Ghost teaser image. In another tweet , developer Infinity Ward also revealed Task Force 141 will take a starring role in the game, reintroducing us to the
likes of John Price, Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick, 'Soap' MacTavish, and Colonel Alejandro Vargas. Test your trigger finger with the best FPS games
