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.

LOL If it were only that easy bud… Do you want a golden goose egg to, or are you good with just that?
I just have one question: When’s Escalation coming???? Otherwise, I’ll just keep having to pawn noobs on old maps :(
I shot up 35 levels playing Black Ops during Microsoft’s Double XP weekend. Its a blast. Love my PS3, and I gotta say that the news about Infamous and Little Big Planet free to keep was awesome. But when is the store coming back up. I want to get the Fallout New Vegas DLC’s and of course Infamous and Little Big Planet. PS3 rocks!!!! Love to all Game Systems!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!
Very good! =)
Know how ya feel. Really can’t wait for Honest Hearts. Guess COD will do for now. Not really interested in MW3. I will inevitably get it, but right now I’m more intrigued with Dead Island or Resistance 3. Well, off to murder and mayhem.

Ehhh….FPS is getting old. If you have played one you have played them all. Need something innovative. I feel the current FPS genre is a cop-out for fresh ideas. More MMOs are needed.
