During the last couple of weeks the closed beta of Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) has been presented to the press at various events during Infinity Ward's trip through Europe. Detailed previews are popping up like mushrooms at numerous gaming sites, talking about their own little private time with the new game.


On the last event this Tuesday, Infinity Ward revealed that this beta was just the "tip of the iceberg" in terms of multiplayer content.

Speaking in London today, community man Robert Bowling said there's "a lot more" to be revealed in terms of unlockables for the sequel.

It might be a bit on the late side, but it appears that Activision have finally released the promised Wolfenstein Demo. Even though the game has been released for over a month, the release of this demo can show people that the singleplayer lives up to its expectations, regardless of how the multiplayer feels.

As mentioned above, the demo is a Singleplayer demo and allows you to play a few missions with B.J. Blazkowicz, together with some AI controled teammates. You can find a download mirror below.

Have fun.

Tonight is EuroCup Thursday, with another set of sensational games to follow straight after yesterday's fantastic matches in the ESL Major Series V Qualifiers. Well, what did we learn - expect the unexpected? After blurred vision's fantastic 4-0 run in the EuroCup XX, asde, the underdogs, thrashed blurred vision 4-0, giving them a shocking taste of their own medicine.

That was yesterday, it's all in the past. It's Thursday, and blurred vision are back to their dominating league, EuroCup XX - and perhaps turn the tables once again. But against who? Reigning champions and Finnish powerhouse MASCULINE MANS. MASCULINE MANS have won their last two officials against sublime and roYality-eSports, slaughtering them 4-0 in a set of one sided matches. The odds are in MASCULINE MANS' favour to slash blurred vision again, but after yesterday, expect the unexpected again!

While one of the biggest global tournaments in both Counter-Strike 1.6 and Quake Live is taking place right at this moment in the stylish and modern Dubai, the Danish LAN organization SLAP has still managed to get some of the world’s finest team from both Counter-Strike 1.6 & Counter-Strike: Source to their medium sized Danish LAN "SLAP LIVE #19".

This time the #19 Edition of SLAP LIVE will be held in Copenhagen, the biggest city in Denmark and the beating heart of eSports within this small nation, as several big names have their offices there as well as having a favourable location (plenty of train connections and close to the Swedish Zlatan-loving neighbors).

Its Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge time again. This weekend, 12 of the best teams in the world meet in Dubai to fight for the crown of Global Challenge Dubai. ESL managed to set up a prizepurse of $25,000 so thats another big aspect for those teams. The favourites are SK Gaming, winner of the previous Global Challenge in Chengdu, and fnatic, who lost after overtime on both maps vs SK in the previous Global Challenge. One should not underestimate teams like mousesports, who won the first Global Challenge in Cologne and MeetYourMakers, who are freshly back to revive their glory history. We can expect another exciting weekend of finest Counter Strike by the best teams in the world. Can SK repeat their victorious performance, or will any of the "unknown" teams surprise ? Tune it @ ESLTV and find it out.

Here at Heaven Media we are big fans of twitter. Really big fans. And, having already launched accounts for Cadred (@Cadred_org) and TEK9 (@Tek9_org) we thought it was about time to get Crossfire tweeting out loud!

I'm sure some of you are already keen twitter fanatics, while others may not even heard of this "twitter" thing (oh who am I kidding, it's 2009 - everybody has heard of it!) But regardless of your past experience, we think it's a great way to communicate with friends, and also to keep up with the goings on at Crossfire, so to help pursuade some of you non-believers, we dug deep into the realms of imagination... and the lovely guys over at Activision have given us some prizes to give out!

We do indeed have five beautiful brand-new copies of Wolfenstein to be won, courtesy of Activision, and to win one all you have to do is follow @Crossfire_nu on twitter, and answer one simple question:

In what year was Activision founded?

To answer, and enter the competition, just follow the three simple steps:

1.) Sign-up to Twitter if you don't already have an account - sign-up here

2.) Follow Crossfire_nu on Twitter - http://twitter.com/Crossfire_nu

3.) Tweet the following message: Activision was founded in XXXX, and I want to win a copy of Wolfenstein from @Crossfire_nu! - just replace XXXX with the correct year!

So if you want to win a copy of Wolfenstein, enter now and we wish you the best of luck - but we're sure you'll enjoy being a Crossfire follower on twitter even if you don't win!

And again a well known organization is back for Modern Warfare 2. Reason Gaming adds two new players to revise their lineup and open doors for MW 2.

Just some days ago, Daniel "SoCLoN" Perez O'Connor was released from his contract in Team Dignitas, yet he has found a new Team. The second addition is Ryan "duffer" Duffy, previously playing for ButtonBashers. The team is aiming to play at i38 and ofcourse venture into Modern Warfare 2. Just like Team YoYoTech, its an UK only lineup so they are able to play the enrished CoD4 UK EPS.

Reason.COD are:

Christopher "Lighters" Lightburn
Tim "revoltz" Denton
Tom "D1ablo" Newman
Daniel "SoCLoN" Perez O'Connor
Ryan "duffer" Duffy

Alex "chibsquad" Garfield and Michael "d0ublethink" Askins finally launched the new CSPromod Website.

Thousands of CS players have been waiting for one specific day, the day CSPromod will be released. This dream has come true. 3 programer, 3 level designer, 3 contributors and about 30 beta testers have been working hard to fullfil the dreams. Not far behind the release of the website, a mod of the game itself should be published. Previous versions of CSPromod failed so version 1.04 is some kind of the last hope for the CS community.

Tonight in the ESL Major Series V Qualifiers, blurred-vision are set to continue their 4-0 run against the European mix team asd. So far, blurred vision has won all 4 of their EuroCup XX matches thrashing their opponents 4-0 without exception. Can asd put an end to their winning streak? A few weeks ago, asd were able to bring sublime to their knees after an epic battle between the two with an end result of 4-2. The tables turned last sunday when European powerhouse EC Winners! shut asd down with an easy 4-0 win.

Also in tonight's EMS matches, Team-YoYoTech battle it out against pstarZ Rise and Shin for a place in the final stages. The odds are in Team-YoYoTech favours, with a consistent lineup over the years which has proven successful both online and at LAN.

dark&beyond have also returned to the ET scene, with a similar lineup to that seen in the previous leagues over the last few years. However, even with a lineup that dates back to a few years, Finnish upcoming stars Zero Empathy turboAp are expected to beat them in tonight's match.
