Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 gets double XP and TU4 this weekend

To celebrate Independance Day, the folks at Epic Games are going to liberate (see what we did there?) Gears of War 2 from some of its nastier afflictions, through another title update. The latest update should drop sometime before this weekend, and will bring some changes to Horde mode. We'll be sure to let you know when the update is ready.

On top of that, it's also going to be another Gears-themed weekend, as Epic has turned on the XP firehose. During ranked matches on the public playlist, everyone will receive double the XP, and the winning team will also walk away with an additional 500 XP (plus, you know, their lives). Epic has also added some of its own brand of fireworks to Horde mode as an homage to our own firework-shooting, independence-celebrating festivities planned for this holiday weekend. In every wave of the Horde, there will be added Tickers, and on the 10th wave of every Horde match, there will be only Tickers.

The festivities start on Friday morning, and will run until Monday, July 6.

Dang, Ty if this is not a good enough reason to play Horde with the XBL crew over the weekend, I don't know what is. Haha, all tickers on the 10th waves of Horde: God Bless America!

Oh and Double EXP Weekends are always cool! =D

Double exp and 500 win bonus, sweeeet.

I won't be playing Horde until Dark Corners.

Agreed. Maybe we'll see you on Gears this weekend, Ty? Of course, your friend might come back to your house at nearly midnight again with another car. That would be highly imporabable, though.

[Tyfighter]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to be all over this! Awesome Epic!
