Drinking and gaming. We saw it happen with Halo and World of Warcraftand now a beverage company is trying to help juice up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Monster Energy drink has teamed up with Activision for a cross-promotional effort that the companies hope will help keep gamers from passing out during MW2 marathon gaming sessions.

Even more interesting are the promises on the drinks’ packaging which indicate that Monster will give away MW2games which will be available November 11, 2009 for PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows, as well as downloadable content (DLC), indicated to be available Spring 2010.

Monster may have jumped the gun because Infinity Ward’s Community Manager Robert Bowling said production on DLC hasn’t even started yet.

Responding to a disappointed fan on Infinity Ward’s forums, Bowling insists that Infinity Ward will not start working on any additional content until Modern Warfare 2 is certified and completed. He even admits that the team hasn’t begun thinking about future DLC.

You can get in on a contest that gives out various MW2 prizes by purchasing specially marked Monster Energy, Lo-Carb Monster Energy, Assault 4-Packs and marked MW2 Monster 6-packs. The contest began on October 1, 2009, and will continue until December 31, 2009.

In the meantime, here’s a rundown of the prizes up for grabs:

• 1st Prize: MW2 Hardened Edition for Xbox 360 or PS3
• 2nd Prize: MW2 Map Pack 1 Download
• 3rd Prize: MW2 Xbox 360 Dashboard Theme or PS3 Dynamic Theme
• 4th Prize: Free 12oz. Monster Energy Drink Coupon
