CoD: Black Ops Launch With Metallica


My fav band Metallica played a short concert on CoD: BO's launch party. If I find better videos, I will update this post.

Metallica played at the Call of Duty: Black Ops launch event at Santa Monica Airport's Hangar 8 last night which honored the six branches of the USA Armed Forces and raised $1 million for The Call of Duty Endowment. After a celeb-studded 'black carpet' with Zach Braff, Cory Monteith, Macy Gray, Kobe Bryant and many others, the tournament kicked off and featured Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine, Navy and National Guard personnel playing a series of Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer matches against each other to raise $1 million for the Call of Duty Endowment.The Call of Duty Endowment is a non-profit, public benefit corporation founded by Activision Blizzard that helps soldiers with the transition to civilian life and help them establish jobs and careers. The unemployment rate for veterans is 21% higher than the rate for all Americans, with veterans' unemployment topping 500,000. Through The Call of Duty Endowment, Activision is committed to raising millions of dollars for job assistance and training programs for veterans and raising public awareness. www.callofdutyendowment.org
