Call of Duty XP lines up Dropkick Murphys

OH look, MW3 is everywhere here on Gamespot. Activision must have bought this website! And even after that HUGE amount of money spent on marketing, BF3 will be the best game! Pathetic !

@McBoogerballz Sure, they've been doing it since Guitar Hero 3, why stop now? (No offense to the Dropkick Murphys)

@ggregd This could be true, but most of the bands I like were in full swing by that time. See UK82: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_82#UK_82 and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_%28band%29 I more or less used 1985 as a point of sarcasm.

@cynicalundead That was 1979. Punk was long dead by 1985 except for the people who were only faking and money-making.

YEAAAH! Punk rock and video games!WHAT IS NOT TO LIKE??

Love dropkick murphys but CoD not so much :P

I wanted to go to this, but not now. Kanye West is the biggest @%$^ around. If there's a CHANCE he makes money from this gig, no way I can support it. What a stupid decision to ask him to perform here.

@Rovelius Money that goes to charity is never wasted

@StingrayX5 Do not blame this on Infinity Ward. they were a good studio. It's Activision you should hate. They already broke this studio apart once, now they just collected the body and proceeded in raping it further. Sick necrophile, that Bobby Kotick.

@TheIfym20 SOMEONE has an iferiority complex..... I quite agree with you however, it has become quite irritating, but it's certainly not BF3's fault. it is the better game just as BF2 and BF:BC2 was. CoD is a dead shell of it's former self by now. The thing is, it made BF3's community look alot more "indie" in comparison, making it the "cooler" game. And like you'd expect from socially awkward brats that will sacrifice their own mothers just to be "in the bizz", they transferred over to BF3, and started treating COD like crap. Problem is, they are now infesting the BF3 community and ravaging it. And yes, EA is as greedy and money hunting, But at least they keep their GOOD game studios going and give them the time they need, minus DA2. Activision just releases the same game every year. They don't care if it's better, they care if it makes them more money.

NOW I'm impressed. Dropkick Murphies are fantastic to see live.

meh

Wow it really turns out that BF3 fans are complete a$$holes. I don't like BF3 just because of there annoying fans, always trolling other games and putting there stupid opinions. Yep no BF3 for me, let the idiots play with the idiots. Plus EA is just as lame as activision.

Awesome, DKM puts on a great show.

I laugh at people saying a band is selling out just for playing a benefit concert for 6,000 people. Who cares if it's for a popular game? Why aren't Dropkick Murphy fans happy the band is playing a large venue? What a terrible fanbase.

OMG even more OP killstrikes? pass .... pre-order BF3

even though they are charging for call of duty xp..at least they are providing live entertainment, that you would pay for that price anyway live AND enjoy some call of duty modern Warfare 3 competitions too and have a chance to win $100'000..its going to be awesome fun... Hey at least the people that go might be able to say i WHIPPED Kanye Wests ARSE in Modern Warfare 3.

Pre Ordered so far: MW3 Gears of War 3 Forza 4 Skyrim

@cowboy bebop... i get your point, but you don't have to be such a dick about it... and you're a real gamer because you play black ops? hahaha that game sucked worse than mw2.

Ok, so they're opening with a bang and ending with a belch, that's great cuz the warzone of CoD is already so full of rats, it doesn't need any more Rat music.

Well at least DKM will make up for that waste of skin Kayne West.

AHHH i wished i lived in Cali...goddammit love DKM

This looks like to be a concert, instead an event for a game. Such a shame Infinity Ward, you've sunk too low.

its sad to see sush a talented band play at sush a talentless event

What a waste of $

Another punk band sells out. Say hello to Green Day while you're at it Murphys.

this looks mint

WHAT. One of my favourite bands...how could you have sunk so low? Most COD fans don't even know who you are because they're too busy listening to Nickelback and Avenged Sevenfold. Teenagers and frat-tards! Is this really the audience you're trying to pull in? Why am I talking like you're going to read this?

Remember the West and Zampella incident? Everyone was like "boycott Activision!" Remember "Friends Against Grenade Spam"? Everyone was like "boycott Activision!" Remember Bobby Kotick saying Activision should charge more because customers weren't paying enough? Everyone was like "boycott Activision!" Remember when Blizzard partnered with Activision, and then added online-fueled DRM, took away LAN and offline, and added the auction house? And everyone finnally said "F* it, we are all blind consumers who will continue to throw money at his company no matter what, lets just buy it anyway" To add: Here's a fun quote from an Eurogamer article regarding what Activision did to the ORIGINAL Call of Duty development team, that has now completely left, and been replaced by scrubs: "West and Zampella claimed they were dismissed following an "inquisition" that reduced colleagues to tears and included six-hour interrogations in windowless rooms." Ah, yes. Activision. 6 hour, tear-inducing inquisitions in windowless interrogation rooms. Stay classy Activision, stay classy..

@thecindre... Well said man!!!

Hey at least they ain't selling my info 2 others

Why do you BF fanboys always complain when a COD movie comes out We do not complain when your movies comes out every year, you complain and say you wil sell better and every year it is a disappointing look at medal of honor OHH This game will sell better and people will forget COD I know you BF fanboys want to convince people to play but this is not the way peace sorry forr my bad english

Well done Activsion!!! Great show for a Great game...

Wow, a COD fan convention with live music, WTF???LOL!!! Kanye West- LOL!! Dropkick Murphys?????? Whos that???

Wow, all these marketing ploys from Activision. And we wonder why Diablo has gone downhill since Blizzard became Activision-Blizzard? The reason is obvious.

They take my money when I'm in need they take my money when I'm in need I gotta leave I gotta leave I gotta leave I gotta leave YEAH! they take mah' money!! Yell it loudly and yell it proudly at that concert Cod fans! WAVE YO HANDS IN THE AIR SLAVES!!

Well, Battlefield 3 it is.

I've never heard of these guys but they gotta be better then Kanye lol.

er...who are they??? never heard of them lets just hope they dropkick Kanye

even the Mariners have a better lineup

Ok so that video looks exactly the same as black ops and mw2, but look at it this way. It looks a tiny bit better than mw1. So in 4 years all they have done is make crappy area combat maps, make guns look different, and make little improvements to the over all graphics. Can I work for the COD team, because apparently nobody does anything and makes a crap load of money.

I bet the Dropkick Murphys don't like fish sticks

Hah... The power of good marketing...

ROFLZ... BF3 nuff said .keep your candy in the van Activision
