Activision and Burger King are partnering with quick-service restaurant tech company Acrelec to celebrate the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Using Acrelec’s self-service kiosks, specific Burger King locations will be transformed to simulate the aesthetic of the new Call of Duty title.
The re-designed restaurants are part of a global marketing campaign for the launch of the new Call of Duty game.

Burger King visitors can also play an interactive game at the kiosks in which fans hunt down hidden QR codes.
“We are thrilled to be a part of this first-of-its-kind creative marketing campaign between two of the biggest names in their industry, Burger King and Activision,” says Reda El Khayer, VP of Global Marketing at Acrelec. “Having deployed our kiosk solutions in Burger King’s around the world and built a strong relationship with the brand, this is the perfect opportunity to show our agility and reactivity to both Burger King and its parent company, Restaurant Brands International (RBI), and showcase our kiosks’ robust integrations, customizable hardware design, and user interface.”
Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is out now with themed restaurants worldwide depicting scenes and mini-maps from the game.
