If you are a fan of Treyarch's WWII shooter Call of Duty: World at War then this weekend will be a big one for those gamers. The official Call of Duty: World at War web site has announced they are now hosting a new Double XP weekend. Starting now you can play the game online and get double the normal experience points you would normally get. This is available for every owner of the game, not just those who have the special Collector's Edition. (the Nazi Zombie co-op mode is also unlocked for all console versions but it's unknown if PC owners get that as well).

In related news, Treyarch has announced on their forums that a 1.2 patch for the PC version of the game is in the works and will be released at the end of January or the beginning of February. There's also a fairly extensive message board post which attempts to explain how Treyech goes about creating PC patches for the game.
