Modern Warfare 3 Gets Cozy With Mountain Dew

[Superior Mind]

"Lets promote sitting on your arse and playing video games with sugary drinks and junk food!"

Again.

And people wonder why the stereotypical image of gamers is a fat shut-in with bad skin and type two diabeties.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

Et tu, Mt. Dew?

For a second there I thought the title read "Call of Duty gets crazy with Mountain Dew"..... So many disturbing things ran through my mind.

But here's a idea, you get a coupon with a X amount of cans of COD Dew that unlocks a in-game can of mountain dew which acts like a grenade..... or maybe that'll be bad advertising. Eh, I dunno.

 

[Rawne1980]

the folks over at Mountain Dew have created a brand new, limited edition flavor as well.

The Gnats Urine flavour?

Because some people will spend money on any old pointless piss.

Wait... Gamefuel. You mean that delicious drink that was coated in halo 3 advertisements a few years back?

ITS BACK?!?!?!?!?!?!


I could care less about the COD:MW3 labeling. That stuff is my drug.

 

[deathninja]

Why do I get the feeling Activision is about to branch into the insulin market?

 

[vermin_]

I would so throw a rock at someone drinking this

Funneh.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Gamer fuel unleaded?
Gamer Diesel?
No matter, don't think it'll be coming here anyways.

"offer promotional codes that grant double XP in the game's multiplayer"

Achievement Unlocked: Consumer Exploitation
We've really gotten to the rung in society where people will be forced to buy bottles and bottles of Dew in order to keep up with everyone elses Modern Warfare ranking?

Why don't they just cut out the middle man and just charge $29.99 for each new advance in rank?

I love when Mountain Dew does this! I just wish they wouldn't take away these great flavors so quickly after introducing them. Pitch Black is my favorite one they've ever done and it's already gone again. I love Livewire too but it's getting really hard to find.

Can't wait to try these two new flavors though!

The new flavor can't be any worse than the Lime one. That crap was nasty.

Original is still good
Code Red is bad to me, but my friend like it
Love Pitch Black
Love LiveWire (try Wal-Mart or Target)
Voltage is okay
The other flavors are a miss

I don't care to much for Code Red (which is ironically the easiest flavor for me to find) however, it's actually pretty good in the form of a slurpee, icee, slushy, etc...

Whiteout is another one that is surprisingly easy to find and not terrible. I'll try Wal*Mart for Livewire though. I've found it in those 20oz. bottles at 7-11 and Racetrack (ie: gas-n-go type places) but never in the form of a 12-pack of cans. Weird.

I think this i funny. Doritos and Mountain Dew, famed as the food of the 'anti-socialists'(?) has been endorsed by Activision. As for balancing, do you really care? It is not going to be a balanced game with ladders and monthly prizes so why not just accept this, have a laugh and have some fun shoving lead socks down dirty mouthed 13-year olds.

 

[C95J]

So basically I'm at a disadvantage in multiplayer (if I bother to borrow the game) just because it's almost impossible for me to find Mountain Dew in my city? Fuck off.

As if the CoD multiplayer wasn't already unbalanced enough, now people will be at an even bigger disadvantage just because they either don't or can't get Mountain Dew or Doritos. Yay!

Can I just ask, how are people at a disadvantage? It doesn't make any sense.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

"If the idea of double XP sounds good, but quaffing copious quantities of sugary drinks doesn't, you can also find the codes in packs of Doritos, which, while still not an especially healthy option, won't rot your teeth out of your head."

Made me laugh, so thanks for that funny oneliner ^^

 

[Robert Ewing]

Next COD will start selling some hospital spec drugs to keep you awake while no scoping for 78 weeks straight. True story.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Hell yeah! I love Game Fuel, it's like an assault on your taste buds.

Too bad it's plastered with CoD crap.

 

[mjc0961]

If it's not Throwback Mountain Dew, I don't care.

Can I just ask, how are people at a disadvantage? It doesn't make any sense.

They aren't, it's just more pointless whining that always comes from the mouths (keyboards?) of FPS players. Everything is overpowered, everything gives people an unfair advantage. Oh noez, double XP, people who play the game craploads and are still going to play the game craploads because they're already good at it are going to level up a little faster. It means absolutely nothing because if they are skilled they will be good with any gun, and if they aren't skilled then even the "best gun" won't make them into the best player ever.

 

[repeating integers]

I'd like to formally thank Mountain Dew and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for giving me an unusual marketing campaign to use in my summer homework for Business Studies.

 

[soren7550]

Oh yeah! I gotta stock up for Mass Effect 3 since my younger brother took all of mine [Halo Reach and WoW] while I was hospitalized.

Also, the boyfriend doesn't want me having any in his household, so I have to hide them somewhere when I get some.
