An image at the bottom of a Steam page has Call of Duty fans hoping that Modern Warfare 2 may be releasing on Steam.

While as yet there's been no formal confirmation of what platforms Modern Warfare 2 will be coming to - let alone a sniff that it may be returning to Steam after seven years of PC exclusivity on Activision's own Battle.net - an eagle-eyed Redditor u/Kalinine (opens in new tab) spotted a familiar Ghostly face right down at the bottom of a Steam page about DLC (opens in new tab) for Call of Duty games.
