These things are certainly becoming popular, we guess devs discovered that people like getting twice the reward for normal "work." Last time the event was the release of COD4's first map pack. This time it's the same thing, only for PS3, and since the maps are already out on 360, we get the Double XP Weekend too. The specific start and stop times for North America are from 12:01 AM on Friday, April 25 to 11:59 PM on Sunday, April 27. And for those European gamers the Double XP Weekend is completely different, beginning at 12:01 AM GMT on Friday, May 2 and concluding at 11:59 PM GMT on Sunday, May 4. Mark your calenders gamers!

I don't see anything related to the 360 in the original post.

Does this only apply to the new maps, or can you gain double xp on the original maps?

I never bothered going into prestige mode in cod4.
Does doing it in prestige mean you have to unlock all the weapons again?

Yup! Everything is locked back up, challenges, create a classs... all of it. You just get a little icon next to your name. I do it, why waste all that XP? Make the game challenging and fun to start from the bottom again.
They need to do double XP more often.

"YES" Prestige mode means unlocking everything again. I've done it 5 times myself. Been playing R6V2 for the past month, bought new maps for COD4 and played them all once and realized I was burned out on COD4. HAVE FUN!

Yeah, it's slick that it just 'happens' to be the weekend right before GTA IV. Good move, Infinity Ward!
(As for me, I'll be deep into GTA IV for a few days then back to COD4 no doubt. I'm too addicted to headshooting guys with my M4 Carbine. )

I don't know where you got that this will be for 360 too, but it's only for ps3. I think this is also the same post you link to. stop getting people excited :P

THIS is what entertains you before gta? why not go back and play some of the old ones. gta3 or san andreas or vice city. or better yet. play the better online game...HALO 3. with 2 new map packs out already and a better matchmaking system. its cool that you can customize guns and stuff. but i mean this game is not even realistic. you can attatch more than just a red dot sight to your gun in real life. you can do a sight and silencer. i mean come on. this shouldnt even be labeled realistic shooter for that fact alone. thats my rant. the end.

lol. i grew bored of halo long ago. It was the first game I bought with my 360, I played through the campaign, and about 100 games online, made a map in forge, saved like 2 films... and then lost all interest. But its just not my cup of tea. I am impatient, i hate waiting 5 minutes for each game to start. And I understand a lot of people love the gameplay enough to wait, but once again its not my preference. I liked halo on team swat, that was awesome. But to me it takes to damn long to kill people and it pisses me off. My halo playing today consists of rocket race, jumping off of my mongoose, and assasinating people and ruining their game to piss them off, meanwhile me and my roommate laugh as we hear them cuss.
the reason COD only lets you use one accessory at a time is for balance. it would be unfair to have a fullyautomatic weapon with a grenade launcher, red dot sight, and silencer at once. I admit i am finally beginning to burn out on call of duty, and this will help me reach 55 for the final time. then all that is left is finally finish getting that damn golden AK.
I just spent the past week rebeating san andreas, I went back and beat bioshock, and mass effect as well, right now im playing Gears of War online as a last resort.
And im not about to pay 10 bucks for halo maps that i will play for 11 days. then ditch for gtaIV. by the time i feel the need to play halo again the maps will be free anyway.
but lets not make this a Cod Vs. Halo war. its been done too many times.

@Drew (sorry decapit8, stupid comment system. you understand right?)
I played Halo 3 like last week and was completly bored of it. I went back to CoD4 and realized how much faster and more exhilarating the action is. it's not how "hardcore" or "skilled" the game is, it's if you like it or not.
I happen to like faster paced games. and by faster i do mean sprint button and no shields.
