War is hell ... unless you're getting twice the experience. This weekend,
Call of Duty: World at War is once again rewarding players with double experience for all multiplayer modes. Not enough for you?
World at War is also introducing two brand new game types into its playlist rotation: Team Tactical and Mercenary TDM. Team Tactical is a 4v4 playlist that pits two teams up against each other in random objective scenarios, while Mercenary TDM does not allow for parties in favor of random team match-ups.
New playlists have gone live today for both Xbox 360 and PS3 players. The
Double-XP event will run from today, January 30, until February 1. Happy hunting.
[Thanks, Rhinosaur]

Is it just me or does it seem like posting has slowed since the switch from X3F to JX?
This is annoying.
Xtechnolgy @ Jan 30th 2009 12:30PM
Hell yeah! looks like ill be giving r2 a miss this weekend
Graeme Q @ Jan 30th 2009 12:37PM
Is there a point at which it starts?
Playing now and no sign of it...
DemonJ @ Jan 30th 2009 12:43PM
Its usually 12 o'clock west coast time which is a couple of hours away.
Did you know there was originally a mix up between this and COD4 because of fourzerotwos twitter entry? well sort of useless info but it was!
See you on COD5 later

I've been playing most of today and I haven't seen anything new.
Joe @ Jan 30th 2009 12:47PM

Matt @ Jan 30th 2009 1:47PM
You may go to Killzone 2 when it comes out, but you'll be back on COD shortly ;-)
Thrax @ Jan 30th 2009 2:49PM

slycooper_rocker [psn:slycooper_rocker] @ Jan 30th 2009 5:34PM
that's what i've been doing.
NEEKO @ Jan 30th 2009 3:56PM
i love how they keep this game fresh. Now i need to beat it to get zombies.
CJH @ Jan 30th 2009 6:03PM
Actually, they took out that requirement a few weeks ago. You can now play Nazi Zombies without beating the game.
Bryan @ Jan 30th 2009 1:53PM
Anyone know if these two new game types will also be Hardcore? Been waiting for some new Hardcore modes, so hopefully they will do both!!
west @ Jan 30th 2009 2:26PM
Team Tactical could be fun but you're really screwed if there is either one really good player on the opposing team or one really bad member of your team because the teams are so small.
BJ is Gooder @ Jan 30th 2009 2:25PM
NEW ZOMBIE MAP(S) PLEASE!
magic whiskey @ Jan 30th 2009 3:48PM
I totally second that!
Brucie B @ Jan 30th 2009 4:02PM
(3rd) New Zombie Maps PLEASE!!!
Spallit @ Jan 30th 2009 2:53PM
Those new "game modes" seem more like variations on existing game modes.
Spallit @ Jan 30th 2009 2:57PM
In fact, the only thing that seems to be different is who you are allowed to play with?
I'm new to Call of Duty multiplayer. Is this a standard type of update?
Ryne Higgins @ Jan 30th 2009 3:14PM
Tight... my first "cred" for suggesting a blog post for Joystiq!
il_duce620 @ Jan 30th 2009 3:34PM
Maybe this has been brought up as a glitch elsewhere in the "Ultrastiq" comments, but why is it that when I click this story in my playstation.joystiq.com RSS feed it defaults to the xbox.joystiq.com version of the article, rather than a Joystiq-specific version? i.e. it's an article that applies to both, yes, but it's showing me page for the system I don't own nor care about...
Rather annoying...
Rhinosaur @ Jan 30th 2009 4:07PM
Yeah, I'm confused, too. I'm the one that contributed this item. I did it through the Joystiq main page, since I knew 360 and PS3 users would like to know.
It never showed up on the main page, so I went to another thread and asked where it was, and got e-bullied.
Seems like sometimes sites "organize" for their sake more than the reader.
Apologies to Joystiq for the post I made off-topic, just confused is all.
joeybeast @ Jan 30th 2009 4:09PM
Probably because Xav writes for Joystiq Xbox (JoXbox)?
I bet they are still working out the kinks.
il_duce620 @ Jan 31st 2009 12:45AM
I'm assuming that's the correct answer, joeybeast...still seems kinda silly in this new system, though. If you're going to post something that applies to more than one "current gen" system, one would think that it should be posted in the main thread, rather than a single thread.
Oh well... I got the news, anyway, which I'm grateful for!
(And thanks for the contribution, Rhinosaur :-)
akshaycaussy @ Jan 31st 2009 2:26PM
This is good for most people because double exp is always nice. But the new games are ok at best. The Mercenary team death match just stops a group of friends of playing with each other and team tactical is just 4X4 of any existing game mode thrown at you at random.
I agree with the person who said that that PS Joystick users are getting redirected here. Why should we have to see this on the Xbox joystick...
Makes me miss PS3fanboy :(
