Call Of Duty XP Convention Activities Revealed
For $150, you can do paintball battle across a replica of Modern Warfare 2's Scrapyard level, run MW 2's The Pit qualification course, and order up at MW 2's Burgertown fast food restaurant. If your in-game skills are better than your real life abilities (and let's all be honest with ourselves here), you can compete for $1 million in prizes in a Modern Warfare 3 tournament at the Call of Duty XP instead.
Held in Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend, the Call of Duty XP is the first fan convention for Activision's massively popular first-person shooter. All attendees will receive a voucher for a free copy of the MW 3 Hardened Edition as well, so the cost of the ticket doesn't look so bad after all – especially when you consider that Activision is donating all proceeds to the non-profit Call of Duty Endowment, which helps soldiers return to civilian life after being deployed.
Fans who aren't going will be able to follow the tournament and more of the CoD XP's action over Xbox Live, YouTube, and "other broadcast outlets."
The one thing you won't be able to do at this huge event? Hear from the founders of the studio that created the franchise. Sick burn. Though I suppose I could have gone with "stuff a dude's mouth with broken glass and punch him in the face" or "shoot Nazi zombies alongside Richard Nixon."
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
