Be the first to experience the Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, join the Xbox 360 and Activision US$ 1 million tournament, mingle with fellow CoD fanatics and AAA talent combine in an immersive event like no other.

To further hype up the upcoming release of Modern Warfare 3, Activision has announced the Call of Duty XP 2011, the first-ever celebration for the Call of Duty community. The event will be held in a 12-acre compound in the urban confines of Los Angeles on the 2nd and 3rd September, where you can join fellow CoD fanatics to witness the world premiere of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and be among the first to have the opportunity to get hands-on time with multiplayer and the new Spec Ops survival co-op mode. You will also have an opportunity to try out 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."

Also included in the event 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," notes the press release. "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. For anyone that can’t be on hand, but still wants to keep an eye on the action, fans from around the world can link up for a connected experience by watching a constant stream of high-production value videos that will be available through television and the web, as well as a constant stream of photos and status updates from the event via social media outlets, including Facebook and Twitter."

“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.”
