Celebrating the release of timed exclusive XBOX 360 Call Of Duty: Black Ops map pack, Treyarch's decided to double up the XP on all versions of the game from February 4th - February 6th

Call Of Duty: Black Ops' First Strike DLC might be a timed exclusive on the XBOX 360, but it'll find its way onto the PlayStation 3 before long

Until that day, Activision's dropped us a new trailer, showing off the game's new multiplayer and zombie maps. Looks like Call Of Duty. If that excites you, hit the jump.

We told you it was an absolute load of hog-wash

Treyarch's community manager, Josh Olin, has hit the Twitter airwaves to confirm the studio are committed to Call Of Duty: Black Ops on PlayStation 3.

We woke up this morning to see a bunch of websites reporting that Activision were about to "pull the plug on the PS3 Call Of Duty: Black Ops servers

" We don't know how the story gathered steam, but we'd just like to reassure everyone that it's not going to happen. While Activision reserve the right to pull the servers on any multiplayer game, Call Of Duty: Black Ops is still a relatively new..

Surprise!

We nearly called it and then we were like, nah, too crazy. Who'd have thought Call Of Duty: Black Ops would become the UK's best selling game of 2010? Our money was on the Nintendo Wii's Just Dance. We were close. That came in second.  But blimey. Black Ops — crazy that. Gran Turismo 5 fared pretty well, coming third on the PlayStation 3 chart, while Red Dead Redemption and FIFA 11..

We're not really sure why people blame Activision for making money

They have the hottest property in video games right now, and while we share concerns about them taking something actually quite good and driving it into the ground, we absolutely don't blame them for wanting to make some money. Which is why, despite frequent denials, some kind of monetary Call Of Duty subscription service seems..

In many ways, the Call Of Duty franchise is an XBOX 360 exclusive

It's a "modern" exclusive if you like. Back in the day, exclusivity meant "absolutely not coming out on any other platforms". That kind of exclusive still exists in some cases, but the numbers are diminishing. That's especially accurate when it comes to third parties, where exclusivity tends to mean "a bit of..

Last week's leader, Gran Turismo 5, is back down to the number four slot this week in the UK weekly sales charts

Call Of Duty: Black Ops reclaimed its place at the top of the charts, with FIFA 11 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood all sitting above Sony's racer. Ubisoft's Nintendo Wii dance games claimed two of the top ten spots, with a bunch of other Wii titles joining Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit..

Remember Infinity Ward? The guys that brought you Call Of Duty? Yeah, we'd almost forgotten too, particularly after all the hoopla that went on earlier in the year

Treyarch's announced that it's released a new update for Call Of Duty: Black Ops on the PlayStation 3

The changes are pretty minimal this time, offering some improvements to matchmaking and leaderboard tracking. The PlayStation 3 version also has some "anti-friends list" spamming features. No idea what that is, but apparently it'll improve the game's performance for those with large..

Activision's Thomas Tippl has told an audience at an industry conference in New York that 2011 will bring the company's "largest digital offering ever" in the form of Call Of Duty DLC

Over-priced map packs are what you always wanted, right? Still, Tippl's remarks support comments made by publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg, when he claimed last week that Activision would offer "the Call of Duty..

Guess what readers? Call Of Duty: Black Ops made a lot of money within its first 24 hours on sale
