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.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
