'Modern Warfare 2' to support Steamworks

According to the firm's creative strategist Robert Bowling, the platform-exclusive feature grants players access to social networking features and remote access to their saved data.
"Steamworks will make it possible for us to have a closer connection to our fans, and enable us to support our community much more than ever before," said Bowling.
"Steam is the hands-down leader in offering a community-focused experience on PC, and the inclusion of Steamworks has allowed us to deliver the most feature-rich PC version to ever come from Infinity Ward, which at the end of the day will mean the most to our fans."
Released by Valve early last year, Steamworks is a free development and publishing suite that gives studios access to every component of its Steam platform.
Modern Warfare 2 is released for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 10.
