Noticia en ingles mas completaActivison has just announced a Call of Duty Convention named XP which commences this September.
Just as Blizzard Entertainment has Blizzcon for its game fans, Activision Blizzard is now creating Call of Duty XP 2011, a two-day convention for fans of the Call of Duty series.
Call of Duty XP » will run on September 2-3 2011 and will be held in a 12 Acre Compound in Los Angeles.

There are 6000 tickets up for grabs and they go on sale July 19th. You can purchase tickets wherever you live in the world but you have to be over 18 to attend.
Perhaps the most interesting news to come out of this announcement is that a Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer reveal will happen at the event.

This event is a stroke of Marketing genius by Activision as it will be sure to get fans even more hyped about Modern Warfare 3, which drops in November.
We apologize for the two weeks that have gone by with no new article on Modern Warfare 24/7, but that's mostly due to there being no news on the game along with the marketing and release of the Annihilation pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops. With Infinity Ward currently preparing a Special Ops gameplay video, more news on Call of Duty XP arriving soon and the Call of Duty Elite beta deploying next month, we will hopefully have more articles coming in thick and fast! But for now, check out a Machinima interview with Activision's Eric Hirshberg below or watch it here ».
