To celebrate Independence Day here in the US (aka July 4th) we have decided to run Double-XP next weekend. It will begin July 3rd @ 10:00AM PST, and end July 6th @ 10:00AM PST. This will be for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC and of course this Double-XP is available worldwide!

Also taking place July 3rd at 10:00AM PST will be a playlist update, where we will be incorporating the Map Pack 2 maps into the main Core and Hardcore rotations; don’t worry, the Map Pack playlist will remain open for those of you looking to get your fix of the Map Pack 2 maps exclusively.

Also recall this weekend we have our first ever Weekend Warrior Challenge for which US-based Xbox 360 players can participate. Registration has now closed, but not to worry – we’ll be running more of these in the future. If you have signed up already, however, be sure to check here for updated rules / time slots.

The PS3 Weekend Warrior challenge takes place next weekend – check for a new Intel piece next week for registration information.

Hope to see you online both weekends!

Thanks to asparrowgoose for the heads up!

I would do it on the 360 but now I play like crap after playing The Conduit. I never realized how much better pointer controls are.

I know what you mean, I was pretty decent playing against friends on CoD 4 but after playing WaW and going back to 360, I'm just terrible. The pointer controls add much more to the game and make it much more fun in my opinion.

True. I mean, I'm still good at CoD4 but I feel slugish etc...

I'm not terrible at all. I love both control schemes. I should take advantage of you this weekend so I can get me some double exp!

Haha!

Haha, bring it. I gotta add you though. I'm sure a days worth of practice will get me back on shape, lol.

@ArakniD

That would be nice. I know WaW for the Wii got some small dlc, maybe The Conduit can do tiny amounts too.

So is The Conduit better than WaW? I ask because I do want it, but to get cash to get the game I'll need to trade in WaW since I won't be playing it really if I get TC and it fetches alot in exchange shops.

One other question, can I invite friends into random matches?

Um, I haven't played WaW for the Wii but I hear it's really good. I've played it on the 360 though. In terms of story and single player, WaW is better but multiplayer I think TC has it better, imo.

No you can't invite friends into matches, but you can see who is online and join their match if there's space available.

Ahh, good to hear the multiplayer is better in TC, it's the main reason I'll be buying it. I've barely touched the single player campaign in WaW :P

Dissapointing to hear I can't invite friends like in WaW but that's not a huge loss. WiiSpeak and the several modes make up for it :D

I recommend looking around youtube for some online menu vids and stuff to familiarize yourself before you buy it.

Ok, just a few more levels to reach lvl 65, so this weekend seems to be it.
