Who ever thought that a four-pack of energy drinks would give up the first clue that Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 will receive its first round of downloadable content sometime next spring? Not I.

That's the story running on Destructoid right now, which took consignment of a couple of cans of MW2-branded Monster energy drinks.
The box for four-pack appears to confirm that it's planned for a Spring 2010 release. As this is the first we've heard of this, we checked in with Activision who could only tell us that more details would be coming soon.

Also available as prizes will be copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition; Modern Warfare 2 themes for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; and, in case you're not amped up enough, more energy drinks.
The piece also mentions that retailer Sam's Club will be selling six-packs of the drink, which apparently give consumers access to the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Combat Training Experience," which Activision has said is an exclusive, online event.

Exhibit A, your honor...



Bryn says: Nice! I happen to really like Monster energy drinks, particularly the one that tastes like green death flavor. It's cool that we're getting more of a time frame for the first DLC for the game, but whoever thought it would arrive via a can of sparkling pop?
