Enjoy Double XP for Call of Duty: Black Ops This Weekend – Only on PS3

Welcome_to_Nuketown

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.

      Usually a double XP weekend is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, turning off early Monday. This time, they’re not turning it off until Tuesday.

      So…it IS longer.

    You can still download your map packs… You can also finish downloading anything that was cued before PSN went down.

    @756
    they will tell us about the map pack once the store is up, its pointless them saying anything before then being that we buy it from the store. some sites are saying that they recieved a letter from sony to the devs saying the store will be up on tuesday the 24th of may so fingers crossed eh.

    @53 Sad. So… You’re just going to drool over infamous 2, which doesn’t even come out until the weekend is over? I already preordered it, but seriously, that comment made no sense at all.

      No, all maps get double XP, but there is a special playlist for people who want to play Nuketown and only Nuketown (but the game types rotate, so S&D, HQ, etc are all in there). You get double XP no matter what map you play.

    How come on Black Ops when I get into the synchronization of game settings loading part it stops me there eventually booting me from the game while my friends got into the game? This happens around 60% of the time.
