Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 News: Activision has revealed that this weekend Black Ops 2 players will get double XP on all platforms.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 recently had its last piece of DLC released on Xbox 360 and it will soon hit the PS3 and PC. To celebrate the occasion Activision has revealed that this weekend Black Ops 2 players will receive double XP on all platforms.

Also happening this weekend, Xbox Live is hosting a free trial of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC pack, which features the four maps Magma, Encore, Vertigo and Studio (a re-imagined version of Firing Range from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops), and also includes the Mob of the Dead zombies experience, with Hollywood talent Ray Liotta, Michael Madsen, Chazz Palminteri and Joe Pantoliano as four mobster inmates trying to escape a zombie infested Alcatraz.

For those who aren’t familiar with the Uprising DLC pack for Black Ops 2, a brief description is below:

- Magma: Set within a modern Japanese village, volcanic eruptions carve multiple paths throughout the town.

- Encore: Taking place in the aftermath of a deserted London music festival, Encore leaves numerous opportunities for run and gun, close quarters combat.

- Vertigo: A futuristic high rise mega structure located in India featuring dizzying vistas and multi-tiered pathways.

- Mob of the Dead: All four guys are serving time in Alcatraz prison, only to discover that being behind bars is the least of their problems. In order to survive, players must work their way through the steel cells and aging concrete buildings while fighting off a multitude of zombified prisoners and guards trapped on the island with them.
