Robert Bowling gave the world the walkthrough of Call of Duty XP, see for yourself:

It’s lookin’ good. And one of the footage shows off MW3′s menus. I knew the leak wasn’t fake.

Yesterday, we brought you the first look at CODXP. Today, we’re bringing you the second look at how CODXP is being created. It shows how big the event is. How much work is going into the event itself.

Without further ado, the first look at the making of the Call of Duty Experience:

If only I had $150 and airfare costs… I would have gone! I wanna go!

Microsoft posted a behind-the-scenes video of crafting, and getting CODXP ready. If you ever wanted to know what it would take to create a massive event such as Call of Duty Experience, Microsoft has you covered. CODXP is being sponsored by Xbox 360, so naturally, Microsoft is doing all this marketing for Activision.

We’re still awaiting the Spec Ops Survival Mode trailer. This article is a continuation of this article. But this time, Robert Bowling takes questions from the Call of Duty Twitterverse. Some of them are about Spec Ops, and some of them are about MW3 multiplayer balancing.

CommandaSmith asked if we can use custom classes that we’ve already created, and if we’re able to unlock awesome weapons such as the Desert Eagle. Mr. Bowling answered…

No. Spec Ops has a separate ranking system than Multiplayer and a unique way of unlocking weapons in waves.

Alkhars asked if MW3 will feature new attachments in multiplayer, and whether we can use weapons from multiplayer, in Spec Ops…

Lots of new stuff. Single Player and Multiplayer weapon lists share some, but vary too. Especially in how they’re balanced.

HYVOLTAG3 asked if there’s any new multiplayer gametypes, Mr. Bowling made a short answer to it…

Yes sir, but multiplayer details can’t be shared yet.

jamessmith233 asked when the Spec Ops video would be released, Robert answered…

Its taken on a life of its own, and were capturing even more footage. As soon as I have an ETA, I’ll let you know!

..Whoa, whoa. That’s a ‘lil too much information, Mr. Bowling!

Hopefully it’s worth the wait, because it’s been a month that we’ve been waiting for this Spec Ops trailer. BENGALGHOST asked what Rob meant by different melee system…

Its been balanced, plus Commando is no longer in the game. Beyond that, you’ll have to wait and see.

And actually, this is a much expanded version of a question that Rob answered earlier.

There is no commando in #MW3

It was posted on July 8th by a user named PSN_SMOGGIE; he asked if Commando has been taken out. Similarly EdHugz asks if Riot Shields will be making a return, Rob didn’t confirm or deny it…

I agree, it is awesome and can lead to awesome moments, but I can’t confirm specific MP weapons just yet.

…So, if you can read between the lines – it is confirmed. I’ve had a lot of fun with Riot Shields, as do EdHugz and dozens others. Msikkema66 asked Robert if he thinks that the MW3 Survival Mode is on par with the Zombie Survival Mode. For better or worse, Rob made this statement…

They’re very different experiences. Spec Ops Survival is one of my favorite parts of MW3, so much variety in one mode.

Stay tuned for the new Spec Ops Survival Mode trailer.

Robert Bowling teased about Spec Ops a few weeks ago. Robert reassured his followers on Twitter that the trailer is coming soon, and according to GamerZines, Mr. Bowling has assured them that the trailer’s release is very soon. [source] How soon is very up in the air.

Nobody knows what’s keeping Activision from releasing the Spec Ops trailer. Rob is currently in Germany taking interviews. However, on July 19th, Robert Bowling made this tweet:

If you’re anticipating the #MW3 Spec Ops Survival Mode trailer we’ve been working on, I just reviewed and sent final edits back to the team!

The Twitterverse has been asking GamerZines to ask when MW3 Spec Ops trailer would be revealed. In an interview with GamerZines, Robert had this to say:

“I was just upstairs reviewing the last cut of it.”

He continued:

“It’s very soon and we’re putting the final touches on it.”

He then explained why they’re holding off showing off the trailer:

“There’s still stuff that you guys are seeing here that we’re not ready to show publicly, so we’re classifying some of that information, but as soon as it’s polished up and ready to go then it’ll be out.”

Stay tuned for more about Spec Ops! It’s very close, people!

Well, it was expected. It was a question whether Activision was going to release a tiered level version of MW3 like MW2 did – Prestige Edition and Hardened Edition. Robert Bowling the creative strategist at Infinity Ward a few moments ago revealed MW3′s Hardened Edition straight from the factory.

Robert Bowling said in a tweet that the full reveal of Harden Edition is going to take place at the Call of Duty XP event that takes place in Los Angeles. Mr. Bowling usually reserves the reveal of collectors editions in his own video. One you can see below for Modern Warfare 2:

With this in mind, I would like to take this moment to reveal CODForums’s second contest. You have a chance to win Modern Warfare 3 Harden Edition courtesy of CarlosX360 Co. Ltd. To learn what the contest is about, and how to win your very own copy of Modern Warfare 3, read this for details. See you in Social Media, folks!
