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, just a few days after the “Stimulus Package” maps are set to arrive.
Unfortunately, in conveying this to Joystiq readers — many of whom are statistically likely to be interested in the news — we’ve expanded a perfectly concise tweet into a pompous, self-referential article and unfairly reduced the internet’s available supply of letters and punctuation.

Three new mash-up tracks from Jay-Z and Eminem are the first fresh bits of content for Activision’s DJ Hero since November.
The new music for the turntable-based game is available for the Xbox 360 version as of Thursday, but PlayStation and Wii mixmasters have to wait until March 25 to nab the downloads.
To call the paucity of DJ Hero downloads a “drought” would be an insult to regions suffering from insufficient rainfall. Activision released the game in October to solid reviews and genuine excitement among music gamers looking for something new. Activision answered this enthusiasm with a pair of overpriced, overlong mash-ups, followed up by techno-centric tracks from house producer David Guetta.
Four months later, Activision squirts out a handful of tunes from Jay-Z and Eminem — both artists already on the original DJ Hero disc. The Jay-Z vs. Eminem Mix Pack features mash-ups of “Shake That” and “Show Me What You Got”, “Without Me” and “Encore”, and “Can I Get A” and “Lose Yourself.”
They’re all fine songs, but nothing terribly thrilling for DJ Hero owners looking for a reason to dust off their plastic turntables. Consider this a ninth-inning bunt. Perhaps Activision is holding all its best material for DJ Hero 2 later this year?
