So, you like playing
Black Ops II, but haven't been able to play in a while? That would explain why you missed the in-game status message. However, if you find yourself unable to play as often as you'd like, then you might want to make some time to play this weekend, as you'll gain XP at twice the normal rate. January 25th through January 28th (10am PST), Activision has a Double XP promotion running.
