That Was The Week That Was 3/16-3/20

 

We added a bunch of cool things to the Xbox.com site this week. Check it out.

• Listen up, soldier! It's the Call of Duty: World at War LIVE Weekend! Download the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1, and play a multiplayer session of the game between March19-22. You could win prizes including a 46-inch LCD TV, a home theater system, and tons of other stuff. And on March 21, you'll be able to play the game with the post-hardcore band Thursday (3-5 PM ET), and the very developers who helped make the game (4-8 PM ET)! Make it a whole weekend of CoD:WaW gaming, but be sure to clean your rifle first. (And if you want a peek at the levels, check out Ryan's feature article on the map pack.
