Grand Forks, North Dakota is a small city with a population just over 51,000 -- a large portion of which are students at the University of North Dakota -- that's tucked within a much larger rural portion of the state. It's not the first city to come to mind when you think of
prestigious national honors in the technology sector. However,
according to online retailer Amazon, which has been vigilantly tracking the geographic location of
Modern Warfare 2 pre-orderers, it's currently the
Call of Duty-est town in America.
Amazon will continue to rank American cities based on per capita
Modern Warfare 2 pre-orders until the game is released, and has agreed to ship a $5,000 gift card to a charity of its choosing which serves the winning town. We hope Grand Forks manages to hold its top position in the rankings, if only because it desperately needs something to put on its city limits signs. You know, something more inspiring than "Welcome to Grand Forks: We've Got a Pretty Good College, Here, We Guess."
