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.

  • YES thank you this will help me make up for time psn was shut down

  • Dan amrich why dont you answer me your mean!!!!!!!!!!

  • Game is so addicting and yet so boring. WTF.

  • TREYARCH RETIRE! You can’t program for nothing! I mean just look at Black Op’s crappy server’s! I play but then I get booted out of the game! If you make another Call Of Duty game I’m through with you! Infinity Ward with the other 5 teams on Modern Warfare 3 is going to crush the competition in 2011? But then you have Battle Field 3! So this is going to be a tough road ahead for the Call Of Duty franchise but I’m hoping that Modern Warfare 3 will be different and even better then Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2! But like I said a million times already.Charge to play online! And have dedicated Servers to get rid of the hackers & cheater’s on the PSN Sony! Without this feature. The PlayStation network is outdated in a 5 year wait for anything special to happen from Sony! And the rest of your 1st 3rd party developers!

  • rollin50Uth_3ASt

    how come you guys don’t put double points for zombies on double xp weekends

  • rollin50Uth_3ASt

    double xp weekend!!

  • The Maps they should give it to us for free! I’m not paying for it when you had the PSN shut down for more then 20 days! Hey Sony it is the least you could do for us. Anyone agree MAPS 4 FREE!

  • Zombies? I’m stuck on trying to figure out how to kill the Pentagon Thief! lol then I only need after figuring that out 2 more trophies!

  • Double Xp Weekend is only the begin

  • HELL YEAH NUKE TOWN NUKE TOWN!!!!! Beasty!!!!!

  • First of all im glad dat psn is back online and if it wasnt 4 the hard workin people(and ps fans) for surviveing da blackout of 2011 then we wont be have a gud time on black ops in da first pace

  • YAY so glad PSN is up again! lol

  • I say you should just cancel the whole appreciation bundle, i mean i was looking forward to it, but all theses kids crying about it and saying that its all they want now, its getting me annoyed for you guys. And you shouldnt have to be dealing with kids who think they’re needs always have to come first, unknowing of the work your actually doing, not just posting updates.

  • Good grief.

  • Thanks now when i play team deathmatch I’ll feel like I’m playing Search and Destroy

  • @890 and all others stamping their feet for map packs.

    while it would be nice to get map packs for free from sony, you have to understand how absurd it is to ask for it, sony do not create own or sell map packs. they do sell map packs via the ps store butblack ops it is owned by a 3rd party and they are not responsable for psn going down or accountable as a result. the double xp weekend was a kind gesture shown by treyarch and yet all credit seems to goto sony for it. sony would have to buy 77 million map packs from treyarch in order to give them away. is it sinking in yet?

  • Sony was waiting for judgment day so they wouldn’t have to open up the psn store.
    Its been a good minute since the latest update.

  • @900

    i think you might be onto something there. lol

  • LightningBlitz99

  • yeah buddy thats wat im talking about, i’ll make prestige in no time

  • ObamasBINlaggin

  • You all should realize that the COD franchise is going bottoms up as soon as BF3 is released the Beast wil soon be unleashed upon COD………………..

  • Oh, by the way the best racer of the genre will be upon us on the 24th ( Dirt 3 ) so anyone that would like to be dominated on the 24th I would love a challenge. This game will be the best racing game of the year. !!!!!

  • Poodunk_1980 you i must say your a very funny dude.cod will never die,not cause of battlefield,not cause of socom or any other fps game.cod is the king of fps games.as long as they keep releasing call of duty games,people will buy them (i will too).

  • Straight chaos people!!!!!!

  • Excelent! but my CoD stop joining online without explanation :s so i have a nice useless blue ray disc in my collection.. Thanks Treyarch

    • Have you contacted Activision customer support? Seems like a better course of action than just giving up. Those folks are there to help. They’re on Twitter, Facebook, email, and phone — you choose how you want to contact them, but if they can help you out, they will. http://activision.com/support

  • @913
    there was a 20 day psn outage, have you tried it recently? :)

  • When is the PS store going to be back up?? Will it be back up in time for the escalation map pack??

  • awesome! :D 2 more days til ~DOUBLE~POINTS~WEEK~ cant wait!OLNY 1st prestige level 13 or some low level but DOOOOUUUUBBBBBLLLLLEEE PPPPPPOOOOOOIIIIIIINNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTSSSSS WWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey Dan quick question:

    How much will the Escalation map pack cost?

  • XxUltimateGodzXx

    Just prestiged to 4 and only going up to five. 8 classes is all i need

  • Why do so many of you support this PATCH FILLED PORT? This is a cheaply made port of the 360 version. Activision’s target audience is the 360. I was praying that Activision would have stopped supporting the PS3, instead of teasing us PlayStation owners with a glorious event. All we get are crappy ports of the XBOX versions.

    Proof is in the way Activision has publicly attacked both the PlayStation platform and the consumers that afford them their public arrogance about their sales numbers. Never forget that BlackOps project manager called you the PlayStation gamer “[DELETED]” because your expectations exceeded Treyarch’s ability to develop a solid performing game.

    To many of you have bought into the never ending advertising antics of Activision. If a FPS to end all other FPS’ came along none of you would take notice. You bought into garbage, and when you get one particular taste in your mouth everything else taste just as bad.

    • I think you’ve nailed it — it’s all a matter of personal taste. Play whatever makes you happy, and don’t feel threatened by the success of a game that you don’t personally enjoy. It’s a big waste of energy.

      I mean, what is the point of telling people that what they enjoy is wrong? They enjoy it, and you enjoy whatever you enjoy. That seems perfectly normal to me.

  • every time I try to play black ops it logs me off and shows me a error code 80028ED6. Whats wrong with it?

  • This PS3 breaks way too much. Today I was going to play MW2 but it WILL NOT read the disc. I tried a few other games, reset the PS3, and everything. Still nothing. Is there anyway besides returning to to SONY? If so please respond! Thank you.

  • Awesome! Thanks, Treyarch, for not forgetting your PS3 gamers!

  • Only question. WHEN DO WE GET A BATTLEFIELD 3 DEMO. D: I wanna play fault line!

  • nice

  • EVERBODY ADD ME houckstr my main account for prestiging on monday after noon and morning wont be on 11-1 though just bout to prestige to 11

  • dan,
    have yall looked into fixin black ops to where it doesnt throw us in to the end of a game on the team thats losing bad?

  • BigbadSnipeye123

    Hey Dan why don’t you guys come up with a patch for world at war to kill all the stupid hackers once and for all you og tlots of fans there still and as for black ops how about a weapons pack instead of a 3rd map pack as a DLC you know like get 2 extra weapons in each category (ex: Mp-40, ppsH) you guys put those two in the story mode why not multiplayer? and don’t listen to these guys Black ops is a good game but it has its ups and downs im looking forward to some cool NEW things in MW3

    P.S. Make a Call of Duty dedicated to Zombies (original 9 maps + 30 more)? sounds good?

  • yay ive ranked up from a 12 to 30 ^_^
