Your trip will begin with an introduction to the head of Treyarch Studios, Mark Lamia. A 20 year veteran of the video game industry, the opportunity to meet Lamia is a thrill for any serious gamer. Lamia’s team developed Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Not only will you get an insider’s look at what goes into the creation of this franchise, but you will get to play Call of Duty with M Shadows!
Avenged Sevenfold avid fans sent the band’s last album, Hail to the King, to #1 on the album charts around the world. In addition to being the lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold, M Shadows is a true COD fan and even has a cameo in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, along with his band mates.
Avenged Sevenfold was commissioned by Treyarch to create an uplifting postlude for the dark ending to the game. Within two weeks the band wrote the song and went to a motion capture studio where they brought their animated characters to life. If you’re lucky, maybe you can pick up some pointers from M Shadows, who competed in last year’s 128-team Call of Duty bracket at MLG Anaheim and placed in the Top 48. If you beat M Shadows, you may go home with an autograph and a photograph of you with the exceptional singer.
The Call of Duty franchise has been a sensation since its inception in 2003, selling more than 100 million copies and garnering 40 million active monthly players online.
