If you take away anything from this video tour of the upcoming Call of Duty XP event, it'll likely be the promise of how "insane" everything will be. But without a Kanye spotting over the entire two-minute clip, we're reserving that adjective for now.

I don't know if it's gonna be "BEAST", but it does seem like they are changing things for the better. The original plan was to pick this up when it hit $30 (or if I got a coupon), but I might pay $50 for it. I don't play a lot of fps, so I usually pick one and stick with it for a year, but for a while now I've been going back and forth between Battlefield/MoH and Call of Duty. Unfortunately it doesn't look like BF3 will be the one fps to rule them all. So you might catch me playing BF3 and MW3 on ps3 this winter.

I haven't read up on this event.
Are there going to be mouth-breathing, racist lingo, and obscenity screaming competitions?

That is one glitzy gun expo.
And dammit, stop the zooming! This isn't amatuer porn.

Meh, CoD. Meh.
Also, Bowling has that douchebag gen-Xer 20-something male jerk thing going on.

If that doesn't look awesome and fun to you, I don't know what will. Go see a doctor.

It's not OK to dislike CoD/MW?
Because I sure as hell don't like the franchise.

.. This post is clearly about Call of Duty XP, so why are you babbling on about hating the games? We get it, you hate Call of Duty. You don't need to say it a 2nd time.

"Community" manager? By community, do you mean the mouth-breathing dorks who go to these things? Sure.
Also noticed that there's some stupid "pro-gaming" competition too. God, CoD pisses me off because it does nothing but cement the "HUR HUR DUDEBRO" mentality about games.

I dare you to make a solid defense against the DUDEBRO stereotype that the modern FPS genre has perpetuated.

I really hope they really got rid of ghost and all that BS. I'm tired of all those cowards that wanna hide in corners all day on TDM in Black Ops. -____-

The game should really be more like BFBC2 where enemies don't show up on radar unless you spot them.
People already pay too much attention to the radar, it makes COD unplayable if one is placed on a "bad" team. That's why ghost and suppressors I typically have as my go-to class...getting placed into partial rounds.
I certainly hope this time around there's an option to not be placed into partials.

This guy is a douche. I saw him in an interview with the guy from Sledgehammer who had previously worked on Dead Space. His disdain for this little freak was transparent.

Insane!....I keep waiting for Inigo Montoya to walk in during the middle of the video and say "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

This is the most hype I've ever seen for an expansion. Let alone an FPS expansion. Activision knows how to hypnotize their customers with shiny gadgets, expensive commercials and broken promises.

And an overrated, overhyped, overstuffed franchise that's already getting tired.
Wow, the only other one in this topic who has sense! Sir, we are like blood brothers.

Well since BO had stuffed so much zombies, the players actually became brain dead zombies and nothing will stop them from buying MW2.5. This game series hasn't changed at all. It's really MW2 with new skin.

I agree. And I've been playing COD since COD1.
I loved COD4 and still do
I enjoyed MW2 until the PC hackers took over.
I hated Black Ops since the minute I installed it.
And MW2.5(MW3) is nothing different than MW2. You'd have to be a complete idiot to buy this and be happy about your purchase.

LOL at out of shape gamers running the pit and playing paintball. As cheesy as this event seems, I can't wait to see some of the awkward videos that come out of it.
