Double XP weekend for CoD: Black Ops now in effect photo

For the duration of this weekend, Treyarch will be offering double the normal amount of experience points for multiplayer in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The proverbial switch has been turned on; you can earn extra XP across all versions of the game until 8:00 AM PST on Monday. You should not, however, take that as a reason to stay up all weekend playing Black Ops. Let me be the voice of reason here and suggest that such a thing is not a wise idea.

As per Destructoid tradition, I've included a fun picture so non-Call of Duty players can feel good about themselves too.

A close relative of the guinea pig. As a non-Call of Duty player, thank you for this.

Just imagine there are people who get genuinely excited about this. I weep for most of todays gamers.

At least it's not quite as bad as buying in game currency.

Also obligatory call of duty sucks, and these online shooter games are ruining the video game industry

I'm looking forward to this but I will not play it most of the weekend. Dead space, and Red dead have priority.

Could have enjoyed this anytime BUT this weekend. The Superbowl is in my town and the KZ3 Beta is FUCKING AMAZING and then again, it's becoming a tradition for me to lose interest in CoD when the map packs come out for X-Box but not for PS3. I say I'm going to get them and then I lose interest and remind myself that the price is too damn high.

Yeah, I live in Dallas too, and I couldn't give less of a shit about the Superbowl. You should try it, it's liberating.

What is that creature in the picture? It looks like something a mad scientist created in a lab. And if you touch it, it will eat your face.

I want one.

Eh, I haven't been Prestige-ing with Black Ops anyway, because it's too much of a pain to get some of the Pro Perks, and they are too useful for some game types. I can't play Search & Destroy without Hacker Pro and I can't play much of anything else without Ghost Pro.

snobs and pirates are ruining the game industry.
CoD is no different than Civ, Wow, or any other competitive online game that copious amounts of people choose to sink days upon days upon weeks into. yes it's just a shooter. no it's not the best. just shut up and play games.

Eh, I'm not really playing for the XP anyways. I've Prestiged twice already. I mostly play just to play a competitive match and for the social aspect with fellow Dtoiders.

They could offer me 100X XP for a week and I still wouldn't buy or play this second rate, shit version of COD. MW2 is a hell of a lot more enjoyable especially now that most of the team killers and annoying 13 yr. olds have moved on to CRAP-OPS.

I was one of those fools that bought the first strike pack. I felt like I had to because of my friends owning it. But seriously, it sucks massive shit.So bad, that I popped BF BC 2 right back in, and haven't looked back. I just don't understand what is so exciting about laying down on a fucking floor, or in a corner waiting for someone to walk by.. And no, I don't suck at this game, my K/D is a healthy 1.86, and I NEVER camp.
