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.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      Cool. It definitely needed some work before

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
