PSA: Black Ops serving up double XP all weekend
41
That's right, your time spent perusing the internet is all for naught -- you could be greedily lapping from a Call of Duty: Black Ops chalice filled to the brim with crisp, cool experience points. The gist of the intel is this: Treyarch's hosting a double experience multiplayer event until February 7 at 8am PST, across all platforms.
The event was set in motion to celebrate the launch of "First Strike" on the Xbox 360 -- oh, you left? You're not even reading this anymore? Gotcha.

At first I thought it was only for the 360, might give me a reason to play this on the ps3. I havent touched it since last year.

This would be nice if I could ever connect to multiplayer! Every time I get into a match I get kicked out the second it begins!

That's nice, the game got a little repetitive after like my first 10 matches so I quit playing it.

I guess being allowed to have an opinion is too much to ask for

Nah, it's more about the obvious trolling. But anyway.

About the only inoffensive comment you can leave, for an announcement post like this, is to go Ron Swanson factual.
"I acknowledge there is double XP weekend. It is this weekend. It is for Black Ops. I might play it, I might not. Nevertheless, it is taking place."

I am not trolling. I recently got the game, have played it for a little less than a week, and am already finding the maps stale. I am a fan of CoD/FPS games and I like the gameplay, but Treyarch doesn't make very interesting maps. Maps in CoD4 and MW2 were good; I legitimately reached 9th prestige without getting bored. After a week of BO, the maps make me feel like I've overstayed my welcome.

Sales do not amount to quality. People really do buy dumb things.
I like the game, but it is RIDDLED with bugs and problems.

That's strange. To "celebrate the launch of 'First Strike'", but all platforms are getting double XP.
This age of DLC exclusivity is freakin' bonkers, man. Totally lame.
Not that I care about Black Ops DLC, but it's the principle.

Twice the XP? I'll be Sergeant of the Master Sergeants Most Extreme Person of Extreme Sergeants to the Max in no time!

@Kyattsuai Lol, then you prestige and do it again. Also I would like to apologise I'm on my phone and I accidentally hit the minus instead of the plus, my bad

@PolishMountainMan You're so clever, I wish I could make snarky comments like you.

Took about 10 minutes worth of tries on the PS3 to get into a match that took less than 5 minutes... somewhat nullifies the "double xp" >:(

@vinner
Then check your internet? Took me 10 sec to get into a match. Maybe god ain't your friend no more.

They also added a new playlist on the PS3-version called Nuketown 24/7.
Awesome.
Awesome.

Anyone else more excited about the nuketown playlist?

Still gonna play Killzone 3 beta instead :)

I'm actually glad for the timing of this, the last 20 some levels are the longest grind to getting to prestige, this will help lesson the pain of me finally getting to my third prestige.

This on the ps3 aswell?

This is why xbox live users pay for the service. They can find a match with ease and rarely get booted.
Posted: Feb 6th 2011 10:14AM jcm618 said
hey maybe for ps3 guys they could offer being able to play full matches for the weekend!
