Buying MW3 Mountain Dew sodas gives you Double XP in-game!

I am looking forward to MW3 a lot and doubt it's not going to be fantastic, but I think things like these are a bit too much, how about us being healthy and not drinking that zhit:

In a fine display of gamer stereotyping, Mountain Dew has revealed its plans for a new "Game Fuel" promotion alongside the new Call of Duty game.

"For many of our gamers, Call of Duty and Mountain Dew go hand in hand," said Activision's chief marketing officer Tim Ellis. "Together we wanted to deliver gamers a one of a kind program around the epic Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer."

This plan sees bottles of Mountain Dew and packets of Doritos coming with 10 digit alphanumeric codes which players can redeem for double XP time in Modern Warfare 3. A 20oz Mountain Dew package will net a player 15 minutes of double XP, a 12 pack will score them 45 minutes while a Wal-Mart 20 pack will allow 90 minutes. 32oz fountain cups, meanwhile, will score 15 minutes of double XP. Combining any Mountain Dew with a bag of Doritos will make a player eligible for a weekly "combo bonus" which nets them an additional 15 minutes of double XP. Ah, there's nothing like healthy eating.

Players are limited to 750 code entries during the promotion period, and a maximum of 24 hours worth of double XP. That's still a lot of Mountain Dew.

Alongside the double XP bonuses, participants will also be entered into a sweepstakes with prizes including a 12 month Call of Duty Elite subscription; a Call of Duty hoodie; a Call of Duty hat; a Turtle Beach headset; a Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360 with 2 controllers and a copy of Modern Warfare 3; A Modern Warfare 3 controller; and a grand prize of a $45,075 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with Modern Warfare 3 livery.

Thoughts?

Lol,wtf.

It should be that instead.

Im not complaining, I love that orange flavor Mountain Dew has, I wish it was a regular flavor :/

Is this game fuel the same flavor that they did for Halo 3? Cause that stuff was awesome... If that came out again I'd have to start drinking soda again.

Aside from that, the game's over hyped. :P

I don't care what anyone thinks but I ****ing love Game Fuel!!!

Orange MD tastes great, and I liked it when they did it for Halo 3 and WoW. The bonuses just make it a little sweeter.

I will admit that maybe they should ally with a healthy drink next time, like vitamin water or something.

Its not that bad, thats only like 2 games

And we wonder why there's obesity in North America. its too painfully obvious.

I wonder if I can use it to earn extra XP and unlock achievements in my Gamer Toilet.

i like mountain dew, but i wont use it in MW3 and i aint importing any either i'll just put up with the pissy version we get in the uk ;(

Just another of Mountain dew's game tie in promo's nothing new here.

maybe if they had a diet option. :P Heil68

Diet soda is worse for you than regular soda.

In fact, you gain more weight and become more unhealthy if you drink diet soda than if you just drink regular soda.

really depends on how you go about things.

I drink diet soda, and live a really healthy lifestyle i hardly eat any processed food unless its push come to shove.I generally think its down to how the person themselves approach it.

It's all about craving. Diet soda may not have the calories or the amount of direct sugar intake as regular soda, but your body recognizes the sweetness of Diet Soda and demands the calories behind the sweetness.

When you drink Diet soda your appetite balloons...which greatly increases your caloric consumption and your risk of over-eating.

In your case, you were able to resist the hunger pangs and the feeling of emptiness that comes with Diet soda.

But most people don't have that capacity.

It's like salads from McDonalds...and how they contain more fat + carbohydrates than a Big Mac when you put all the toppings on them.

Why dont they just slap these codes on Dominoes boxes and KFC buckets too? When are people going to realise just how over-inflated CoD has become? I dont have a problem with the game anymore, its the millions of people who rush out and gobble it up (which isnt a metaphor anymore) that cause this.

1.that salad is strangely an anomoly and its McDonalds so i wouldnt touch it with a bargepole.

2.I eat 3 healthy meals a day, i dont fried food much and its very rare i go for a take away ALSO all food contains calories instead of that fatty bag of crisps i'll take a nice roll with a lean bit of chicken on it most of the time it ISNT the calories that matter, most of the time i actually tend to drink water outside of a couple cans of diet irn bru and when im out at the pub on a Friday night.

As long as you stick to the recommended daily allowance of sugar,fat,salt you shouldnt really have any pangs to be brutally honest.

We don't have Mountain Dew here :'(. We have like... the Coca-Cola sodas, Pepsi, Guarana, Soda and Schweppes. No Dr. Pepper, no 7UP (there is a restaurant that for some reason has them).

Mountain Dew is pretty nasty.

Activision knows how to advertise their games i suppose.

disgusting

lol are they **** kidding? And people thought I had lost my marbles when I said that its all getting out of hand because they're just GAMES :lol:

All this "COD EVENT XP!" And this rubbish - they're just video games

*waits for EA to announce the same thing with Dr. Pepper*

Bleh! Ew! Yech! Geez! I'll take a crab juice.

Can I video game company please do a promotion with protein powder? I'd totaly dig that :D

OK, what the heck guys.

What's with all of this Mountain Dew hate?

Well that's pathetic. Another reason why I despise these overhyped and overrated shooters and what they are doing to the industry. I guess they were serious when they said they wanted to take fun away from gaming. kuraimen
