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.

    My Little Brother Can Make Draw Better Guns Than The Guns On Black Ops! Yall Made This Game In A Rush It Looks Like A Damn Ps2 Game ! Infinity Ward And Treyarch No Competition! Infinity Ward Will Always And Forever Be The Bests Of Doing Cods! Just Quit Already Treyarch!

    • Why is everything capitalized? Oh well — like I said, I don’t believe in putting down one game (or developer or company) to tell the world that you like another one. You should always play what makes you happy, but I don’t understand why you choose to put it the way you do.

  • XxCrown_PrincexX

    when wil PLAYSTATION STORE be back up and running ?

  • X_x_Chicano_x_X

    is it true they are going to give us escalation map pack for free

  • Sweet, I’m mostly a single player guy but I guess a weekend of CoD wouldn’t hurt. All you guys with the negative comments should go back to playing your generic CoD clones. *cough*homefront*cough*socom4*cough*

  • lmfao @ boss_tycoon_ i like tht XD

  • Guess it will be a BLACK OPS WEEKEND SINCE ZIPPER MESSED UP SOCOM 4, (AS MUCH AS I LOVE SOCOM) I’m a big fan of black ops I earsed my 15th Prestige name just to start a new 1 for SOCOM and now look i’m be back on COD this weekend. WTH

  • LOL Boss_Tycoon_ tell us how you feel about MAG?

  • Black Ops is fun but not competitive whatsoever

  • I got the yellow light of death i think its called. psn is back and this happens why! i need to fix this quick

  • Ya Double XP!!

  • @Kavewoman48

    I thought MAG was pretty fun but I got bored of it quickly due to the lack of maps, gamemodes etc.

  • @ 239 Read the post you noob.

    @ anyone else—if you prestige3 more than once, is it stll prestigious? (I haven’t yet)

    @ Anyone saying the store will be up tomorrow–I guess Kaz came to your house to tell you that. Stop lying.

    @ Anybody who can’t believe blog writers don’t reply more—Would you reply to this bunch of morons? The majority of these posts make no sense and since there’s no spell or grammar check on this blog, quite a good number are unreadable. There’s a “human” who asked Dan twice on page 4 how his friend could retrieve his email from a different email address because that’s where his password reset was sent. How the hell could/would he know that. I coild do a full blog story about how obnoxious and stupid a lot of these people are. I as an older dude am praying against hope that these are not the best and brightest of the current generation. Please!!!

  • “According to a memo issued to Sony’s development and publishing partners, the PlayStation Network should be coming back online from May 24th, barring any further complications or issues, of course.”

    This is the only decent speculation I’ve seen. Read full story: http://www.ps3trophies.org/news/news-3629-PlayStation-Store-Returns-on-May-24th-According-to-Memo.html

  • i cant wait for my double xp weekend thank you acktivision

  • I played black ops for the first time this last weekend its a good game but I’m more of a killzone 3 guy just seems like theres more going on in that game but thats just my opinion

  • @ Boss_Tycoon_

    I was curious because I wasn’t a fan and quickly traded it in.

  • I am so sick of nuke town , WE NEED FIRING RANGE 24/7 !! , Also thanks for the double XP missed out @ getting up to prestiges last 2 weeks now hope i can get back to at least 11 this weekend , Gotta gather the clan back up thanks guys !

  • Can’t wait to get some double xp in team deathmatch!! Thx for not forgetting about us Treyarch!! ^.^

  • Thank you for the Double Xp! Kudos

  • Assasinator0240

    Firing range should be considered medium not small nuketown is the only real small map if you don’t like it to BAAAAD!!!!! ;)

  • so no one knows when the ps store is coming back cause the psp go is boring when all u gt to do is play the demo patapon

  • wow people still need double xp lol ive been 15th prestige for like 2-3 months now

  • ohh an i still dnt gt 24/7 nuketown dan? can ya help explaining the details

  • also is mw3 actualy comin out in nov 8,2011 dan an will there be new weapons?!

  • im a boss

  • i’m really gonna enjoy this weekend… Please get the Store up :)

  • yae right 2months whos been playing for ya

  • so when is the playstation store going back online???????

  • @Dan if youre still repling to these, you work for activision , what is the future of zombies will their ever be a full zombies game? will Samantha ever be an enemy ? will u ever fully announce the storyline. Are you gonna answer like this?–Well treyarch has future plans for zombies, just stay tuned…

    • Those are all questions I just can’t answer, because I don’t work for Treyarch. But if you want to give them that feedback, they have a Twitter account and a Facebook page.

  • im just a boss and i beat it thorught prestiges

  • Ayyyy!!! thats what am talking about!!!

  • Thanks sony. But I have a question. Why not make Nuketown 24/7 a permanent thing?

  • i think because the score per minute would be higher for people that play nuketown 24/7 since its such a small map and it wouldnt be fair for players that like to play certain game modes in other maps
    its my assumption but im not sure

  • Can we have double XP for BC2?

  • i think psn needs to give us a reward for keeping us waiting but i guess since onlines free its alright

  • So if i wont be on my ps3 all weekend i will miss out on that extra xp

  • I for one will NOT be playing Black Ops. I used to LOVE Call of Duty, but ever since MW2 came out, it’s gone down hill. WAAAY too many campers, quick snipers, glitchers, etc. Not EVERYONE needs to be a damn sniper! This type of community (cause not every last player does this) has made the game very un-enjoyable for me. Glitch/cheat to win is not very fun for everyone. MOST people want to play to test skill and ability and get better as they go along. Something drastic needs to be done before I even think about playing Black Ops again (other than the zombie maps). This is a case in point to where “Don’t hate the player, hate the game” is the exact opposite!

    Oh, and one more thing…Thanks for taking care of us Sony! I wasn’t very supportive until you said you’re giving us a year of identity theft protection. That to me says that you really DO care about the players! You guys rock, and I will continue to support you guys in arguments of PS3 vs. Xbox 360!

  • TIME TO PRESTIGE :))
