Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has made $1 billion in record time.

Modern Warfare 2, the latest in Activision Blizzard's blockbuster franchise, launched late last month on October 28 and has since totalled over $1 billion in spend-through. This comes just 10 days after launch, meaning Modern Warfare 2 has taken pole position among the Call of Duty franchise as the fastest game to reach that milestone.

The bargaining session where this stipulation was reportedly outlined by Activision Blizzard took place last week on November 2, and at the time of writing, appears to be the most recent bargaining session to take place between the parent company and the union.
