Burger King and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II have teamed up to give South African gamers an opportunity to experience the world of Call of Duty and win epic prizes.
The fast food outlet has been offering Call of Duty meals for several weeks, which gives customers a free BK Operator Skin and one hour of Double XP (2XP) for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and has been running gaming stations with the chance to win prizes such as gaming headsets, gaming monitors, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II game, Burger Town T-shirts and meal vouchers.
Burger King will take it a step further this weekend when it hosts Going Dark events at its N1 City store in Cape Town to give local fans a chance to play out moments from their favourite game.
The store will be transformed into a battleground on Friday and Saturday from 7.30pm to midnight, with several challenges to compete in.

Anyone who orders a Call of Duty Whopper King Box meal at the store until Saturday can use their till slip to participate in the event.
The event is not open to people under 18 years of age and ID verification will be required.

Here's how we did.
