Developer Treyarch and publisher Activision Blizzard are launching a Double XP weekend for their shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and the companies are also introducing the first clan-related events for the game.

Double experience will be granted starting with 1 PM Eastern Standard Time on Friday until 1 PM ET on Monday, December 17.

A session where Xbox 360 players of Black Ops 2 can join a match against some of the Treyarch developers is also set for December 14.

The weekend will include three types of clan-based competitions: Core Domination Captures, Core Kill Confirmed, and Core Team Deathmatch, each of them played during each of the three days of the event.

The official YouTube channel will also host a live stream, presumably focusing on the developer games and the most interesting clan matches.
