Well. Good for them. That's a great deal for $150 (that is the ticket price for the event.)


...well maybe not "great" but it is nifty.

Activision has declassified more information regarding the coolest event centered around Call of Duty. The biggest news released about the event is regarding the $1 Million tournament sponsored by Xbox 360. The tournament will be a 32-slot single elimination tournament for which people are currently qualifying on Call of Duty: Black Ops. The assumption by most people was that during the tournament they would also be gaming on Black Ops. This is not the case. The lucky participants will be playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. If you’d like to try and play in the tournament, four slots will be filled on site at the event.

Those who don’t get to participate in the tournament will still get a chance to play some multiplayer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The multiplayer reveal event will be at Call of Duty XP and all attendees will be able to get hands-on time with the game. Players can compete for prizes in the numerous multiplayer challenges featuring Modern Warfare 3 as well as other Call of Duty titles.

One pretty exciting piece of new information released is that attendees will receive the Hardened edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Now, this won’t happen at the event but rather, attendees will receive a redemption code for a free copy of the Hardened edition when it releases on November 8, 2011. Not only will people get this code but Call of Duty XP is also when the Hardened edition details will be revealed.

Attendees will get a sneak peek of the new programming under development exclusively for Call of Duty Elite members. First up will be a collaboration with the production company led by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, dumbdumb, in partnership with Ben Silverman’s Electus Studio. Will Arnett is also scheduled to attend the event to share a preview of the all-new content series in production and to check out the game himself. In addition to this, the creators of “Find Makarov” have come out with a new live-action short inspired by Modern Warfare which fans will get a preview of while at the event.

Ever wanted to do something in the real world that was like being in a Call of Duty game? You can at the event! There will be a life-size replica of the map Scrapyard from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on which players can duke it out with paintball guns. Fans can also do a speed run of The Pit training sequence in real life. Like using the zipline from Kowloon in Call of Duty: Black Ops? There will be a military zipline on the compound that attendees will be able to use.

In addition to all of this, fans can eat at Burgertown, the iconic restaurant from Modern Warfare 2, suit up for some one-on-one battle in Juggernaut Sumo, as well as check out the comprehensive Call of Duty armory and museum, featuring concept art and unique memorabilia from the entire franchise.

This event seems like every Call of Duty fans dream. If you haven’t purchased your ticket yet, there are still some available. Head on over to the website and check it out. Call of Duty XP will take place in Los Angeles on September 2-3. Ticket prices are $150 for the entire event and 100% of the proceeds are donated to the Call of Duty Endowment.
