$2,000 Call of Duty: World at War weekly roundup
$2,000 CoD:WW Map Pack 1 tournament. Registration OPEN March 19 to May 17.

PS3
If you've been following the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 tournament here on GGL, you'll know that we saw a big shakeup last week.
Unfortunately one of the server chimps in our server room slipped on a banana peel and reset the competition.
