Activision to donate up to £250,000 if you play MW2!

Whilst many in the competitive community have shunned Activision's latest hot selling game Modern Warfare 2 and following on from the news of the $500 million windfall in sales of the game in its first week, the publisher has decided to give something back.

Makers of the game Infinity Ward, publishers Activision and both Game and Xbox Live are behind the iniative in support of War Child, a childrens charity that was setup to "support and strengthen the protective environment for children who, as a result of conflict, live with a combination of insecurity, poverty and exclusion."

During the weekend of the 5th & 6th of December if over 600,000 UK users log on to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, a donation will be made to War Child of £150,000, with £25,000 donated for every 100,000 users after that, up to a maximum of £250,000.

GAME will also be selling War Child wrist bands instore, and Xbox Live Gold Membership will be free on that weekend, to ensure that as many people as possible are able to play the game online. There is also a facebook fan page setup for those who wish to register their support for the iniative, however there is still no news for the competitive scene on any changes.
