How Sony is assisting Infinity Ward in developing Modern Warfare 2

The comment thread in the tweet presents some insight into how Sony will incorporate their assets in Modern Warfare 2. Previously, a leak floated about the game possibly having a PlayStation-exclusive VR experience.

While this isn't unprecedented in the franchise's history, the community is certainly looking forward to it.
