According to the industry website, highstreet traders are expecting the game's launch to be one of the biggest of all time.
"Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of, if not the, most eagerly awaited games of all time," said HMV's head of games Tim Ellis. "Customer expectations are very high and we are confident this will lead to record sales numbers at launch. This will comfortably be the biggest game in the series."
Kathryn Hinton, head of buying for third party at GAME and Gamestation, added: "There comes an expectation that it'll be the best ever in the series - and from everything we've seen, it'll deliver."
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on November 10.
