Unfortunately the dates for the Call of Duty: Black Ops Double XP Weekend were published incorrectly and it will not be happening this weekend (November 26-28) as previously advertised. A Double XP Weekend for Call of Duty: Black Ops on Xbox LIVE will take place in the future and we will bring you more information when we can.

Did you know that all "Call of Duty" add-on content & map packs will launch first on Xbox 360 through 2012, starting with content associated with the Nov. 9 release of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

No double XP weekend after all... not that it bothers me as my other half would kill me if i spent all weekend playing :p

The more "pro" perks you get, the less you want to enter prestige mode. :/

I know, I prestiged the first time without hesitation as I only had one Pro perk, but now that I unlocked the Pro versions for the three perks I use the most I don't want to go back.

Once you unlock all the guns you don't want to prestige...

I think it's stupid that you lose all your credits. There should be some sort of charge, like 50,000 to prestige. I think that's a lot better rather than just losing all of them.

Where are the patches

Its been 2 weeks and the ones we got didnt fix anything

How many patches did WaW receive and were they any good?

They obviously did otherwise the game would still be unplayable for most. We've had about 3 in 2 or 3 weeks now.

Singleplayer still needs a fix as it's still not working for me. Tried reinstalling, changing CFG files and everything.

It feels like more people back out of games than Modern Warfare 2. I had a long play session yesterday and almost half of my games had people leaving, one after the other. Sometimes, the game would be reduced to 3v3 (from 8v8 or 10v10). It's really bad when you go against "clans" that are in the same party. The bad part about it is the host migration. When it happens twice, the game almost always disconnects you.

I've never had a host migration that I'm aware of - do you get notified or something?

Also, I'm finding a new appreciation for the M16 - with a red dot it's actually quite a nice mid-range snipe.

Played for a bit just now - got 3 promotions in one game :laugh:

I've got my preferred perks setup and on my way to Pro so now I just need to get a nice AR then unlock some of the tacticals/equipment.

Yeah, my mate does this. We're playing and then randomly he'll stop talking so I look at the scoreboard and he's gone off to another game. And 9 times out of 10 he'll be the host too so it's really frustrating.

Gonna try my hand at making some vids in black ops. Did a tester with some footage of a random knife battle I had with my friend. It's the first time I've used a video editing thingy (using Sony Vegas Pro 9) and it's taking a lot of learning and trial/error.

So here's my first test attempt:

Not sure if this has already been posted, but there has been a petition to get a full refund on Black Ops. Click HERE. I did find out in the petition that the resolution is only 544p. Is this true?

I know I'm not signing it. I love Black Ops so far! :D

Second video up, this one actually has lots of kills unlike my test one. Titled "Swords and Sidearms" cos all we used were... well just that. Knifes, toma's, pistols and once or twice a flashbang for good measure.

    • When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different."

    • Walmart was still selling the Apple Watch SE 2 on Black Friday in 2024. I got 1 for my mom and one for my dad for christmas.
    • But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
