User blog:Callofduty4/CoDWiki news - July 24th '11

Since N7 is MIA I'll have to cover for this week. I hope you don't mind too much ;)

So, here's a breakdown of news this week.

Call of Duty

 * Call of Duty XP tickets are now available for purchase. As described in this blog, tickets are $150, and all proceeds are going to the Call of Duty Endowment charity. Tickets are only available to those aged 18 and over.
 * The hardened edition of Modern Warfare 3 has been confirmed. A photo of the box was showcased by fourzerotwo over twitter, and details of its contents (besides the game) will be revealed at Call of Duty XP.
 * Robert Bowling has announced that he has sent back final reviews and edits of the highly anticipated MW3 Spec Ops trailer to the production team.

Call of Duty Wiki

 * There is a stickied forum regarding Codferences, a real-time scheduled discussion system which is currently in the final voting process. Any more votes would be much appreciated.
 * Other current topics in the War Room include a discussion to randomise certain templates, whether to to reformat infoboxes if there are more than one on a page, and to remove Tips/Tactics sections. All of these, plus the other topics, will greatly benefit from more input.
 * Eltomo85 is the wiki's newest administrator, having been promoted after a very successful RfA. Many congratulations to him.

Other

 * As many of you should know, a series of horrendous attacks occurred in Oslo and a nearby youth camp on the 22nd. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who are affected.
