Double XP this Weekend?

Anyone know if this is for everyone or do you have to be Premium Elite?

1st I'm hearing about it. I still hoping they do another mw2 and blops doube weekend.

I could have really used one last weekend.

First ive heard of this

Is it this weekend that the first overall map pack is available to the public on Xbox? If so, it would make sense that the double XP would be on for the weekend.

hope its for all elite and not just xbox lol

If PS3 has it which I dont think they do it will tell you in the game lobby.

This is the message we get on xbox.
“DLC Collection 1 is available for purchase now. New MP maps and SO Missions await you. Plus, earn Double XP this weekend.”

PS3 will probably get it when all map packs are released for them.

It is the 1st weekend for xbo map packs going public I am going to guess ps3 will have to wait a month for theres. weird thing is the only cod tweet I got today was about a clan op that as far as I can tell never exsisted. Nothing on double xp or new map packs.

damn the luck lol

It is for all of xbox.

In Black Ops, did anyone use the trick to extend their double XP weekend? Whenever they made a change to the game like a double xp weekend or whatever, they would release a new build (numbers in the top right of the screen in the lobby) well, if you played over the weekend with double xp and never back out of the xbox live lobby or shut off your xbox, you would continue to play on that same build, hence, continue to get double xp. Eventually it would force you out but we would usually make it to the next Wednesday or even Thursday. That was a lot of Nuketown 24/7!

I wonder if it will work with MW3. However they way they have been banning people left and right I don't know if would want to try it.

**UPDATE*** from Robert Bowling via Twitter - double XP turned on this weekend for all players, all platforms.

oh sweet Jesus...glad I'm just hitting lvl 65-66. Now just the trick of hoping I can get some playtime from the wife. I think I'll lay off the PS3 for the next 2-3 days and then pull the "i haven't played all week" card. Yeah, that's the ticket. Does it start Friday and end Tuesday morning?

Oh, oh, oh, GOOD idea.

Nah, I'll just play dumb and Saturday morning say to her, "oh wow, there's 2XP this weekend, I HAVE to play."

It starts at weird times like 10pm Friday nite EST

Yeah we could do that on PS3 too. Just never shut off the PS3 and you could have double XP for a while longer. The number of people would keep dropping until after a few of days, there weren't enough people left to get a match going.

this will also mean that the servers are gonna be overloaded with players, so we'll be playing some laggy games. but i will be there anyways.

Trolling tweeted it would hit 2 am pst Across all platforms! good news for once.

2am tonight?

Yes sir

Pushing an #MW3 update around 2 AM PT that will activate Double XP across all platforms as well address some matchmaking issues.

That was posted 7hrs ago which was 7pm PST so it should be activated any time now

uh oh...how am I supposed to do my homework today when there's double xp!?!?!

Dbl xp time woohoo

I've been waiting all week for this!! Hence why I haven't been on in order to garner playing time approval from the wife. After a trip to the barn tonight after work, I should be set to play for a few hours each day this weekend.
