[Updated] Hans Zimmer is Scoring Modern Warfare 2

The Call of Duty series has done nothing but build steam since the original title, and now Infinity Ward is pulling out all the stops with Modern Warfare 2; this latest rumor is one that should please fans of cinema.

Straight from the website of talent agency Gorfaine/Schwartz and via Kotaku comes the unofficial report that legendary Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer is providing the score for Modern Warfare 2. This follows official news of rapper 50 Cent and actors Keith David and Barry Pepper doing voice work in the game.

Hans Zimmer is my wife's all-time favorite composer; ever since I've known her, the Gladiator soundtrack has always been her most cherished album. This whole two-player couch co-op thing may work out yet...

UPDATE: Gorfaine/Schwartz has confirmed the report, as linked by Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling.
