We heard Infinity Ward first mention "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" on Twitter last week, but teasing secrets is not their only plan for the social network; they're working on a secret project with a 19-year-old programmer who became known for tracking curse words on Twitter.

Gamers looking forward to "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" that aren't signed up for social networking service Twitter might want to reconsider.
Infinity Ward is currently working with 19-year-old Cursebird creator Richard Henry on a Twitter-related project, according to an interview with Network World.
Cursebird is an amusing web project that tracks Twitter users' swearing and automatically updates with a new post every time someone curses. The site even tracks the most popular swear words, but you'll have to visit the somewhat not-safe-for-work website yourself to see who's winning.
"Call of Duty" came up as a result of Twitter recently because Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling updated with a note about voice work for "Modern Warfare 2," a project the studio had not publicly acknowledged yet.
It's unknown what Henry is working on with Infinity Ward, but if we're to take his previous work as a hint, the two could be collaborating on a section for the "Modern Warfare 2" website that would track "Call of Duty"-related conversations on Twitter.
What do you think they're up to?
