Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Treyarch's David Vondehaar and Josh Olin have confirmed in Major Nelson's latest podcast that this weekend - that's 4-6 February - is a double XP weekend for all Call of Duty: Black Ops players in online matchmaking.

The XP event announcement comes just before the launch of the first Black Ops DLC map pack, First Strike, which will be out as a timed exclusive on Xbox LIVE tomorrow, packing four new multiplayer maps: Berlin Wall, Discovery, Kowloon and Stadium, as well as the zombie map Ascension for 1200 MSP.
