COD5 XP boost, UT3 Black free weekend News

Xbox 360 PC PlayStation 3 News by Dan Pearson

6 March, 2009

Those of you fond of shooting one another in the face will be able to enjoy double experience points in Call of Duty: World at War for the next few days, or sample Unreal Tournament 3 for free on PC all weekend.

Treyarch is celebrating the Makin map with a week of COD5 double XP across all platforms, meaning that every server will be clogged full of homophobic narcissists of every description twenty four hours a day as every teenager in the world clamours to unload shotgun rounds into your face. The double-up kill bonus will be available from today until 12th March.

Secondly, Steam account holders can get their hands on Unreal Tournament 3 Black for free for the weekend, just by hitting a button. And not a button marked 'pay' either. It's the full game, which will also be under a 40 per cent price reduction up until 15th March, and you will be able to sample the new Titan Pack as part of the weekend promotion too.

Am trying to download UT3 - damn pesky Steam servers have been too busy all morning.

Steam has been busy since yesterday with lots of people downloading the Titan pack. I haven't imported my UT3 into Steam yet so I can just get the update from elsewhere. Updated the PS3 version last night with patch 2.0. The interface looks a lot nicer now.

UT3 is a good game, just not as good as UT2004.

Well, I've been sitting on enough XP to go Prestige for a few weeks now. This weekend may be a good time to pull the trigger (literally and figuratively :P).

Yes, EG are gonna be screwed when Call of Duty 5 is actually released.

I offer my services to go back and retrospectively fix all their CoD:WaW articles. For a modest fee of course.

Isn't it going to be modern warfare 2 and therefore COD 6?

Staar Wars Dark Forces did similar stuff. SW: Dark Forces, then Star Wars Dark Forces 2: Jedi Outcast. Then, just forgetting Dar Forces, it's Jedi Outcast 2: Jedi Academy.

Point is, the numbers stopped at 4. I don't think we'll see them again in that form.

Hah! The UT Free weekend was a total waste of time. Nobody who wanted the free game could download it and none of us who own the game can even play it or get the updates. By the time anyone's got it the weekend will be up.

Great idea releasing the free client and a 1.5 gig patch on top of an already 8gig download Steam...

I have intermittently been playing CoD WaW and the lag has been minimal. I have had a really good time and even got to do some sniping.

UT3 Black free weekend? So is this the Apartheid edition or something?

Totally agree Wasterlander. What a joke. I've been trying to download it all weekend and no joy.
