So the question is... how big's your killstreak gonna be?

With double XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops (BBFC 18) all weekend, you'll earn those weapon unlocks twice as quickly. And did we mention new features like custom games, regional matchmaking, and split-screen for guest players? Good.

Sound like fun? There's more, including awesome discounts on some quality swag in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, competitions, tournaments, movies and music.

Also it is an Xbox Live free weekend, so free access to Xbox Live premium features for Xbox Live Silver members.

Kinda glued to Assassins Creed at the moment but might come off it for a little while to grind up to lvl 50.

Someone at Microsoft made a cock up, just got this email:

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.

In the mean time, we hope you will enjoy the Free LIVE Weekend, with Gold features accessible for everyone and great discounts on some quality swag in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, competitions, movies and music.

I've got a funny feeling it will be during the Christmas holiday.
