Special Ops now, Multiplayer up next!
Keep your eyes open for new magazines covering Modern Warfare 2 at the end of this month, starters next month. Mostly indepth info on Specops, but we're promised multiplayer is up next:

The long lead press I've been doing the past week (print magazines) was mostly focused on Special Ops. Explaining how it works, going in depth on just how big it is. So you should be seeing that press hitting towards the end of this month, start of next month.
Then it's Multiplayers big time to shine in the press. Even before that though, we'll be releasing some more multiplayer videos to tide you over until the big MP press time.
I had hoped to do another MP video by now, but our video crew got side tracked with some in-game stuff that took priority though.
Modern Warfare 2 Ghost statueIn another post on the IW forums Robert talks to the community in a way I hope everyone will understand. There have been soooo many people crying, almost demanding for more information on the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. Wouldn't it be cooler just to discover all these new things on your one without all the cool things being spoiled months before release?

I agree. It's frustrating. I too want to flood the forums with info and videos.
We don't plan on sharing much more on the single-player, and I think the majority of you are in agreement that the majority of the story should be kept under wraps so it's even more impactful the first time you play it.
Trust me, there are some HUGE moments you don't want ruined.
As for multiplayer, again. We don't want to give EVERYTHING away, because it's more fun to discover that stuff yourself, the first time you play. However, we do plan on revealing a quite a bit more before launch.
More MP videos are coming and we hope to have a big MP press day before launch as well. So don't worry, those who want info will definitely be getting some well before launch.
DLC; Downloadable content
After the game is being printed and shipped around the country, Infinity Ward will sit down and talk about the DLC for Modern Warfare 2 - not before. Infinity Ward is not holding back material before release that can later be turned into DLC just to make a quick buck. This is what Robert 'fourzerotwo' Bowling had to say about it.

DLC is not developed until after the full game is polished, finished, and released.
Therefore, there is no way to include it in the main game because it doesn't exist. We have two years for our development cycle, in that two years we complete the main game (single player, spec ops, multiplayer).
Once we've finished and shipped the finished game off for certification and disc printing. While we're waiting for the game to be printed on discs and go to stores, then we sit down and start thinking about what we'd like to do for DLC.
We've agreed to at least Two map packs already, but we won't start development on them or thinking about whats included in them until AFTER we've finished the game. We've just agreed to do them.
We would never purposely hold anything back just so we can release it as DLC. I think we've proved that with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The fact we only did 1 map pack because we felt it was important that Modern Warfare 2 got two full years of development and therefore as many maps as possible at LAUNCH.
