User blog:Soldierscuzzy/Pepsi Offering More XP For Buying Mountain Dew

Forbes reported earlier today that a new cross-promotion with Pepsi will allow Modern Warfare 3 players to gain more XP faster. When players purchase Mountain Dew, Doritos, or both, they will get special codes to enter. These codes, dubbed Rank Up XP, will allow for a small time window where all of the XP a player earns will be doubled. The amount of time for how much product you buy is shown in the graph below.



This raises many questions about the integrety of XP. Will a player with high XP have earned it, or could they just be a big fan of Code Red? With this change to XP gaining, will you be buying these products to compete, or will you just have to work harder to show your skills? The official site for the promotion can be found here.
