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.

    • Remarkably based article from Garter - apparently there IS someone working there that actually understands mainframe systems.
    • Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?
    • Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
