Before the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, there are only a few days left, the hype is in full swing. The Amazon online store launched the original
contest to figure out the city where this game is most loved. The winner is calculated by the ratio of the population of the city (according to census data) to the number of pre-orders. The winning city will receive a $ 5000 certificate from Amazon. Where to spend "war money", the authorities can decide for themselves.
For several days now, Grand Forks (North Dakota) has been holding the lead. Although the city itself is quite small, but,
judging by Wikipedia , there is the University of North Dakota and a large military base, and even Amazon's national call center. With such a "nuclear" combination, Grand Forks is doomed to victory.
By the way, all other amateur cities to shoot are very similar to each other: a relatively small official population and a rather large university. Apparently, not only in the Russian hostels students with might and main are chopped up in Call of Duty on LAN.
The contest page contains interesting statistics. At the moment, the most popular is the Xbox version of the game, which was ordered by 61% of buyers, 31% ordered the version for PlayStation, and only 8% chose the PC version. It is good that the game is generally released in the PC version with such a scanty popularity.
