MW3: VG247 goes to war against Eurogamer tonight

Would you like to shoot Tom Bramwell in the face? It’s your lucky day, soldier.

To celebrate the release of the Collection 1 DLC pack, we’re going to war against Eurogamer later tonight at 7:30pm on Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox 360.

VG247 staff – yes, me included – will be in on the match, as we take down the Empire scum. Or shoot some Russians, at least. Whatever.

What you need to do is have the Collection 1 Map Pack, featuring the maps Piazza, Liberation, Overwatch and Black Box.

“And then, Johnny?,” I hear you ask. Add our or EG’s gamertags to join in on the fun. You can get the EG tags at the link. We’re still collecting GTs among staff here, but mine is Johnny Cullen if you want to give that an add.

And then, after that? We shoot.

To see the maps in action, watch Sam take a look at them in this video here.

I think it’s just gonna be me. Me and Sam have copies out of the lot of us, but Sam’s got a prior engagement. So, just me. My GT’s in the story.

@10 I have the hardened edition of the game actually on 360 – but I am not playing. I suck at it. At least I can admit it.

Would you like to shoot Tom Bramwell in the face?

When you put it like that…

@Pat:

I’ll try.

I’m in another continent, and on a strict NAT, but I can’t miss the chance to play alongside an FPS legend, can I?

Right, I’ve got Sam on board for a bit.

Downloading the maps now (don’t ask how I didn’t do it before – long story). Should be about another five-ten minutes.

I’ll be hanging for a good hour or so. I hear we’ve got to shoot some dudes in and around the face.

Right, maps are done. So we’re ready. Just add my GT above and I’ll shoot an invite.
