Call of Duty XP, the 2011 convention which introduced Call of Duty Elite, will not return in 2012, Activision has confirmed.

XP took place in LA and was an all out Call of Duty fest, giving fans the chance to try out Modern Warfare 3 and take part in a $1 million gaming tournament. There was also a Burger Town restaurant and a real life Call of Duty experience.

“Last year’s Call of Duty XP was a great way to celebrate our Call of Duty community and reveal Call of Duty Elite,” an Activision spokesperson told Polygon. “Each year we try to surprise and delight our fans and this year we are planning to host some new experiences for our fans around the globe including at Gamescom later this summer in Cologne, Germany. While it’s possible we may host another XP in the future, we don’t have plans to hold the event this year.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be released November 13.
