  "account": "The Australian Classification Board has assigned a 18+ rating to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, indicating a potential new port of the 2009 first-person shooter from Infinity Ward. The classification, set for October 1, 2026, highlights elements such as high-impact drug use, in-game purchases, online interactivity, and chat. The rating suggests Microsoft may be preparing to revisit the game soon. The board's decision to classify the game as Modern Warfare 2 (2009) implies a port is on the horizon, though the specific platforms remain undisclosed. Fans should remain vigilant for any announcements. Activision's previous strategy of porting Black Ops 1 and 2 in a brief span earlier this year yielded success, though it faced criticism for being merely rehashed versions of the originals. The ports were available exclusively on PlayStation consoles in July, and prices were set at $40, with DLC sold separately. Microsoft and Activision's move to bring both Black Ops ports to PlayStation consoles has raised questions about the future of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009).",
