Play MW3 MP first, compete in the $1 Million tournament sponsored by Xbox 360, incredible live events, Sept. 2nd & 3rd in LA.

Prepare for a weekend of titanic firsts, kicked off by the worldwide public reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's epic multiplayer mode and the full roll-out of Call of Duty Elite.

Be among the first to witness the future of multiplayer gaming at the XP opening ceremony on the massive main stage LED screen, then play it yourself. Demo stations will be running non-stop throughout the weekend.

Modern Warfare 3 Multi-Player Challenges
All attendees can battle for fun and prizes in Modern Warfare 3's numerous multiplayer gauntlets, which pit 16 teams of four players against each other in a series of break-neck, 10-minute rounds. These single-elimination frag-fests will be fought all weekend long – only one team per gauntlet will survive to celebrate their glory.


Ticketholders will also experience Modern Warfare 3's ferocious Spec Ops Survival mode for the first time at Call of Duty XP. Compete in teams of two to outlast opposing squads and clear the most waves. Winners will be handsomely rewarded.

Gauntlets and King of the Hill matches will also be ongoing in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, World at War and Call of Duty 4. Individual players will reign supreme in these savage free-for-alls until dethroned by another player.

Black Ops Zombie mode will offer hardcore zombie killers the chance to headshot their way to glory solo or in teams. Call of Duty XP delivers action-packed, in-person multiplayer competition for all skill levels and styles of play.

Tackle Real-World Call of Duty Action Experiences
Battle in The Scrapyard. Two teams will enter this astonishing real-world recreation of Modern Warfare 2's fan-favorite Scrapyard level. Only one will exit. OK, both teams will exit, but only one will walk away with pride – the other will walk away dripping paint. And for the first time ever, players will have the opportunity to speed-run Modern Warfare 2's infamous Pit training sequence in real life. Prizes and bragging rights are available to top finishers.

Attendees can also duke it out in Juggernaut Sumo and take a plunge down a military-style zipline. Massive Modern Warfare-inspired experiences like these happen in only one place – Call of Duty XP.

Spec Ops co-op returns in Modern Warfare 3 with all-new Survival mode. Check out the Spec Ops trailer just below and visit the official callofduty.com website for more information.

Activision attempting to seize unofficial ModernWarfare3.com

Activision attempting to seize unofficial ModernWarfare3.com
Published by: forahobby on Sunday, July 17, 2011
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

According to a report on domain-tracking blog Fusible, Activision is looking to seize ownership of ModernWarfare3.com after the unaffiliated website redirected visitors to official Battlefield 3 page.

For Activision to win ownership of the site, it would have to show that ModernWarfare3.com is "identical or confusingly similar to" its own trademarks related to the series, that the operator of the site has no legitimate interests for use of the domain name, and it was registered and used in bad faith. The complaint indicates the ModernWarfare3.com owner would be able to retain the name if "making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or tarnish the trademark."

However, Activision is arguing that ModernWarfare3.com ran ads for GameStop and Best Buy, making it a commercial venture, and that the forwarding to a direct competitor's website is sufficient to show the site was run in bad faith. At the moment, the site no longer directs to Battlefield 3's site, and appears to be free of advertising.

Here is a brief description of the game taken directly from the unofficial ModernWarfare3.Com website.

"Modern Warfare 3 is an copy and paste experience that looks exactly like Modern Warfare 2, retracing the conflicts of its predeccessor that will take you to major cities across the globe (including New York, London, and Paris) with the elite operatives of the US Delta Force and British SAS to combat Russian ultranationalists who have made it their mission to take back their homeland (yeah right?!?!). Modern Warfare 3 missions are in cool settings such as Wall Street in New York City, but utlimately the game fails to live up to its massive hype train. Activision should spend more time developing their games instead of using massive advertising campaigns to promote an inferior product.

A more satisfying gaming experience is found in Battlefield 3! Battlefield takes first person shooter realism and action to the next level with its next generation Frostbite 2 engine that delivers cutting edge graphics and game play like no other console shooter. Modern Warfare 3 runs on the same engine as previous COD games like BLOPs with arguably only a few minor enhancements. There is simply no way that Modern Warfare 3 can match Battlefield 3 in terms of technology so once again it will rely on gimmicks like rc car kill streaks to attract preteens to buy their product.

Battlefield 3 is taking first person shooters to the next level. So if you are strapped on cash, grow up and forgettabout Modern Warfare 3 (because it looks just like Modern Warfare 2) and buy Battlefield 3 instead. It features a mindblowing campaign and awesome multiplayer modes (free of newbtubing kids that buy COD) that will change your perspective on video games forever!"

Modern Warfare 3 Monthly Subscription, Extra Maps and Social Network

Modern Warfare 3 Monthly Subscription, Extra Maps and Social Network
Published by: forahobby on Tuesday, May 31, 2011
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 subscription service to feature extra maps and Facebook-like social network features.


Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and future installments of the hyper-realistic combat-simulation game. In a move industry executives describe as a first, Activision plans to charge a monthly subscription fee for the service, which will provide extra content that isn't offered on game discs sold in stores, including downloadable map packs that give players new "Call of Duty" levels to play.

Activision executives said they haven't yet figured out how much to charge for the service, but they expect the cost to be less than fees for comparable online-entertainment services, such as a $7.99-a-month Netflix Inc. movie subscription. Portions of the service will be free, including features inspired by Facebook Inc. that will let "Call of Duty" players meet for online gun battles with others who share various affiliations and interests.


Another feature of the service will give "Call of Duty" players tools, modeled on those from stock-trading websites, to analyze their performance within the game, gauging factors such as which weapons have been most successful for them in killing enemies.

The plan—which comes a week ahead of the videogame industry's big E3 trade show in Los Angeles—is a potentially risky bet by Activision that it can further milk profits from consumers, who could feel the $60 they spend on "Call of Duty" in stores is enough. Charging a monthly subscription fee is more common for multiplayer games that run on personal computers. The most successful of those is "World of Warcraft," a fantasy game from Activision's Blizzard division that has over 11 million subscribers, who typically pay $15 a month for the service.

For players with a Microsoft Corp. Xbox 360 console, a Call of Duty Elite subscription will come on top of the $9.99 monthly fee they typically pay for Xbox Live, the online game service that provides players of all Xbox games to meet and compete against others online. Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 console owners don't pay a monthly fee to play against others online.

The PlayStation Network that provides those multiplayer capabilities recently suffered an outage of more than three weeks after a hacker intrusion on the service. Players of PC versions of "Call of Duty" don't pay to play others online.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Debut Teaser Trailers [HD] 720p

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Debut Teaser Trailers [HD] 720p
Published by: forahobby on Friday, May 13, 2011
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

Today, Call of Duty fans around the world have a little something to get excited about, it's the debut Modern Warfare 3 teaser trailer (4 of them), and the latest bunch of rumors.


The new game apparently starts with the outbreak of World War III, with set-piece battles in such cities as New York, Paris, London, and Dubai.

Kotaku sources report that the game's single-player campaign will be divided among several characters, including a British SAS Operative, AC-130 gunship gunner, a tank driver, and a member of the Russian Federal Security Service, known by its acronym of the FSB. It will apparently feature two new members of the US Army's supersecret Delta Force, called "Frost" and "Sandman."

According to another source some weapons of choice for MW3 will be the Vector, Colt 45 & Pacer 56. The Pacer 56 doesn't exist, at the time I started to question the truth behind his story and he had this to say about it "It's suppose to be a new weapon imported if a new war started". Apparently, only one map was available during testing titled "Detour" which he made comparisons to Hotel in Black Ops. The pacing in Modern Warfare 3 was described as "Faster than MW2" and a apparent cover system exist in the game "Oh yeah, your suppose to be able to hold on to cover".

Pointblank? Pacer 56? Cover system? Map called "Detour"? More fast paced than Modern Warfare 2? A whole lot of new things from this interview whether or not it's real we can't confirm. But it seems that, if even SOME of these items are true the next Call Of Duty could be a bit of a twist to the franchise, especially with that cover system.


Add "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" to your wishlist on 360-HQ!

UPDATE: As previously reported , 5 perks were available in testing but it turns out that Scavenger and Revelations are the same thing. According to our source Scavenger has been renamed to Revelations. Also our source was involved in one of the first test of MW3, so yes this information is subject to change come launch.

FindMakarov.com is an unofficial Call of Duty film project

FindMakarov.com is an unofficial Call of Duty film project
Published by: forahobby on Thursday, March 03, 2011
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

Joystiq confirm the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 "Find Makarov" trailer which has only just appeared on youtube is in fact fake and self-funded by Toronto-based viral marketing company "We Can Pretend".. Amazing job.

The countdown on FindMakarov.com has ended to reveal ... a fan film?

Self-funded "for fun," according to creative director Jeff Chan, of Toronto-based viral marketing company We Can Pretend, this live-action trailer is meant as an example of how Activision's Call of Duty game franchise could be expanded to film. "We definitely wouldn't wanna just call ourselves fans," said Chan, who would not say whether the filmmakers had talked to Activision about their project yet.

"We gave a statement on Friday," an Activision representative said in response to the trailer going live. "No further comment."

The "Find Makarov" trailer, which Chan compared to the live-action ODST short in spirit, was scripted by We Can Pretend design director Patrick Lo, who also created the website. David Fradkin produced the film, and Nir Zahavi directed the extensive viral marketing campaign. Visual effects were handled by Junction VFX, also based out of Toronto.

Chan declined to elaborate on the company's long-term intention. Watch the so-called "Live Action Modern Warfare" trailer.
