Unexpected Downtime
Our main web server disappeared off the face of the earth yesterday evening, but we're back now.
I'm sure KOTI will let us know if anything interesting was the cause.
For future reference our forums and website are hosted off different servers, so unless the network is down or some noob tries to pull the plug on us, you can always access the forums at http://forums.modernwarfail2.com
Update by KingOfTehInternets:
For some reason, our cache server (Varnish) ‘pooped it’s pants’. Moreover, an important file (httpd.conf) got changed and I’m still unsure how that happened. Apparantly, someone/something changed an IP address which should resolve back to our VPS in the file mentioned above. But since it was changed, it was resolving to a wrong IP, thus causing downtime.
During this downtime, the forums were still accessible, which is strange because the cache software is ran on the same VPS as the forum.
I would like to thank Raja K. and TheServerExperts for their support and time in investigating and solving this matter.

FourZeroTwo’s Twitter not updated only by Robert himself ?
There's a good chance that the FourZeroTwo's Twitter is not just updated/maintained by Robert Bowling himself, but also by other Infinity Ward employees. It appears that FourZeroTwo uses several 'applications'/services to post Tweets on his Twitter account, including 'CoTweet'. CoTweet is specifically designed for multiple people to post from one account and keep things organized. It is aimed at businesses.
You can see more about it here: http://cotweet.com/

New hidden content found
Xbox 360 modder Bon3zz1001 found new hidden content in Modern Warfare 2. Again, some new game types have been found, though this time they aren’t playable like the hidden global thermonuclear war gametype. Bon3zz1001 found audio files for something called "Defcon" (Audio says "Defcon Team Deathmatch" for example), a new gametype called "Arms Race", and Team Deathmatch Pro, Free For All Pro, Search and Destroy Pro and Sabotage Pro. There's also voices for Team Tactical and Die Hard, and no, it's not 3rd person either.
Bon3zz1011 made a compilation of all the hidden voicefiles and uploaded them to youtube:
He contacted FourZeroTwo regarding this hidden stuff and this was his response:
Just announcer voice-overs of things that got cut well before launch.
Interesting. Why cut things and not remove them. Saves disk space.. I smell DLC...
He also found inside the weapons folder the G3, G36, R700, M40, M240, SA80, AW50, a power drill, MP5, MP9, and the MP44.

Tough this might not seem valuable to you, it could mean potential DLC in the future. Bon3zz1011 didn’t managed to swap models yet, however he did manage to swap skins of existing in game weapons. For instance, In the screenshot below, he swapped the FALs camo with the G3s.
