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.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
