User blog:Bovell/Call of Duty XP and MW3 multiplayer reveal details



Call of Duty just got its own convention.

A two day event to be held from September 2-3, Call of Duty XP (Call of Duty Experience) will be an assembly of gamers of Activision's number one FPS franchise.

While still a month away, Activision is already planning big for this meeting of Call of Duty fans. Among some of the festivities are a $1 million tournament life-size recreation of Scrapyard for paintball, a Call of Duty armory museum, a reveal of more Call of Duty ELITE details...

Oh, and the chance to play Modern Warfare 3 ' s multiplayer two months before release.

That's right, to add to the celebration, Activision will unveil the iron curtain surrounding the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 3. Attendees will be able to get a hands-on opportunity with the new Survival Mode that is part of Modern Warfare 3 ' s Spec Ops.

Tickets for the event will be sold at $150 starting on July 19, with 100% of the profits going to the non-profit, Call of Duty Endowment fund ("helps soldiers transition to civilian careers after their military service.")

Those who cannot be at Call of Duty XP will be able to watch it via online streams.
