Leo Tolstoy once said, “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” Ask any PlayStation gamer who missed out on the Call of Duty: Black Ops double XP weekend a few weeks ago, and they’ll tell you: Leo knew what he was talking about. While other platforms soaked up the extra experience points, PS3 gamers had to hang in there while PlayStation put everything in order behind the scenes. In cases like that, patience isn’t a virtue — patience is a pain in the butt.
As the double-XP date loomed nearer, more and more PlayStation gamers wondered if they’d be able to take part in the festivities, and Treyarch – developer of Black Ops – swore to fans that they would not be forgotten. This weekend, they’re quickly making good on that promise, with a double-XP period that lasts from this Friday, May 20th at 10am all the way through the weekend and beyond – the good stuff keeps coming until 10am on Tuesday the 24th. What’s more, that’s going to be even sweeter thanks to a Nuketown 24/7 playlist that’s being added just for the event. Nuketown is my favorite map because it’s small and chaotic – and the close confines often result in high kill counts, which can really push you to the next level of Prestige in a hurry during a bonus XP weekend. It’s a fast, intense map – but don’t let that stop you from uncovering some of Nuketown’s hidden secrets.
So if the two most powerful warriors are patience and time…well, you’ve been patient, and it took some time. This weekend, enjoy being the warrior.
horray this helps me faster with my perstig level up
@83 thank u Dan u r right u r not to post foul words on the playstation network website because they can banned your account and i wasn’t insulting u i was just saying if u dnt like black ops dnt play it because if u post a comment on the comment post about how u don’t like black ops then it’s going to cause trouble and people is just going to make people madder and madder.
black ops trained me well for the zombie apocalypse tomorrow.
Dan when is playstation store going to be back up
Is it possible to where we can have a weekend of ‘No Camping’? As in, lets say someone doesn’t move from a specific spot (or within 20 Black Ops feet) for more than 7 seconds- they drop dead from a lightning bolt and the screen says ‘Inactivity is the cornerstone of laziness.’ ??
Truely, in the last couple days since the server has been back on… EVERY… SINGLE… GAME… overflows with people who are cowards and just decide to lay down facing a single doorway. Its the ultimate in lazy and by far the cheapest way to get a kill, and ruins it for diehard fans like myself who believe in the ‘Shoot and Scoot’ method.
