Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will host its first worldwide double XP weekend from April 2 until April 5 on Xbox Live, With the release of the Stimulus Pack DLC that provides Modern Warfare 2 with three new maps and two remakes of Modern Warfare 1 maps (assuming they didn’t fail to load for you), Infinity Ward has been hosting a Double XP event. So those of you itchy to get your prestige on, now would be a very good time to do so.
The new maps have been integrated and weighted into every playlist so they will show up more and Infinity Ward has uploaded two dedicated playlists that only feature the Stimulus Pack maps. And, finally, the Ranger faction maps (Highrise, Terminal, Skidrow, and Invasion) have been added to the Hardcore Headquarters mode.
