Celebrated composer Brian Tyler announced today that every dime made off the
Modern Warfare 3 soundtrack will go to the
Call of Duty Endowment, the non-profit corporation
that helps veterans find jobs and transition back to civilian life. Brian Tyler has scored such films as
Eagle Eye,
Fast & Furious, and
The Expendables, along with the soundtrack for
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The entire
MW3 soundtrack is available right now on
iTunes,
Amazon, Rhapsody, and other major digital download services for $.99 per track. I can't think of an easier way to help returning veterans than dropping a buck on a song at a time.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is available right now.
