Call of Duty XP 2011 event dated for September
Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer Reveal, $1 Million Tournament, live events and more are promised
Activision has announced the first-ever celebration for the Call of Duty community, entitled Call of Duty XP 2011.
Total Call of Duty immersion is coming to a secure 12-acre compound in the urban confines of Los Angeles on Labor Day weekend, where more than 6,000 fans will be the first to witness the world premiere of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer. Attendees will be among the first to have the opportunity to get hands-on time with multiplayer and the new Spec Ops survival co-op mode. Also on display for the first time will be the full feature functionality of Call of Duty Elite, the innovative new online service, built from the ground-up to support Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Supporting this reveal is a series of real-world Call of Duty action-experiences and gaming competitions as well as an unprecedented $1 million Call of Duty tournament by Activision and the event's lead sponsor, Xbox 360. Through Activision's network of global partners, fans will have the opportunity to qualify for the tournament prior to the event by showcasing their skills in Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer through regional promotions and competitions. For those unable to qualify in advance, there will be select, on-site/at-large qualifications, further expanding the opportunity to compete for cash prizes among some of the best Call of Duty players in the world.
"From the high production values of our live, immersive events - all the way to the smallest details in every design and activity - we're pulling out all the stops to make Call of Duty XP the ultimate gathering for the global community of Call of Duty fans," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "The celebration will immerse attendees in a Call of Duty experience unlike anything they've ever seen before. Over the course of two days, gamers can trade Call of Duty war stories, experience the official unveiling of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and the full feature functionality of Call of Duty Elite, as well as enjoy world-class entertainment and compete head-to-head for some serious cash prizes."
Tickets for Call of Duty XP will be available for $150. Activision will donate 100% of the ticket sales to The Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit, public benefit corporation that seeks to help veterans transition to civilian life, find work and establish careers, and assist other organizations that provide career training and job placement for veterans. Tickets will go on sale July 19.
Call of Duty XP precedes the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on November 8th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.
