The development team at Infinity Ward and publisher Activision announce that they are launching a special double-experience weekend for the Extinction mode in Call of Duty: Ghosts in order to give gamers more reasons to slaughter aliens while cooperating with friends.

The company has not made it clear exactly when the extra rewards will begin to be handed out, but presumably gamers will start to double their experience in matches at noon Pacific Daylight Time on Friday, and the double experience weekend will end on Sunday at 23:59 PM PDT.

The news has been delivered via the official Twitter account of the development team working on the title.

At the moment, the Extinction mode for Call of Duty: Ghosts has three full episodes and allows gamers to work together in order to take out fearsome new alien enemies and some interesting end-level bosses.

Another story-driven level will be launched alongside the final downloadable content pack for the first-person shooter, which is expected to arrive before the end of summer and will also introduce four new maps and a unique new weapon.

Infinity Ward is also announcing that it has implemented a fix for a problem with the Search & Destroy multiplayer game mode.

The Twitter account explains, “We've figured out the S&D plant/defuse issue in #CODGhosts and will have a fix out tomorrow.”

The development team is constantly looking to the community for feedback about all included modes and says that it will continue to deliver patches on all platforms.

Recently, Call of Duty: Ghosts also got six new personalization packs and three new character packs, each of them designed to allow players to create a more unique character for multiplayer.

Call of Duty: Ghosts was not as big a sales hit as publisher Activision was expecting, and the company says that the transition from current-gen consoles to the Xbox One from Microsoft and the PlayStation 4 from Sony is partially to blame.

At the moment, the company is working with Sledgehammer Games to create Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which is set to be launched on a variety of platforms on November 4 of this year.

The game moves the action to 2054 and will allow players to use a variety of new tech, including exo-skeletons and a rifle that prints its own ammunition.

Sledgehammer Games has promised that Advanced Warfare will feature innovative elements both in multiplayer and singleplayer.
