Re: Gears 2 Double xp weekend

So this means Submission, Annex, KotH are nearly a ratio of 1 (they are ~0.4 usually). Brilliant, if you get an average of 3.7k in a match, that equals about 3.2k from a match. Good for us people who suck at Exe.


Shame I have work or I'd spend all day on GoW2 and maybe get close to lvl25, by which I mean within 25lvls of it

How many meatflags do you still need? Although I can probably see more people playing the non-exe matches now the xp isn't so punny.

We know you don't like Gears 2 but with friends it's OK... mostly....

Gears 1 when not playing friends and just playing ranked against randoms (and not host) is as unfun in a laggy way as Gears 2 IMO...

You up for a Friday Gears 1 night?

Re: Gears 2 Double xp weekend

I'm tempted but......nah I think I'll stick with horde!

gears 1 is for multiplayer, gears 2 is for SP & horde.

{Thanks to JohnnyUtah & Simbolini for the FRs, I'm usually on a Friday night till 3ish.}

If I had known that I wouldn't have picked-up and scored the meatflag as Nick was standing next to me. I mean, I'm not going to get another 9 of them.

Apart from Warzone/Execuction and you love to respawn Guardian gives the best points to xp ratio think its 95% thats pretty much all I play unless I get a random game of submission which I can't stand. The only think wrong with the double xp weekend for me is that im out half day fri, all day Sat and work Sun/Mon so could they of picked a worse weekend. Oh well I'll have a few hours fri afternoon should get to my next level hopefully.

Re: Gears 2 Double xp weekend

The Double XP has made all the laggy b'tards come online, and I'm sure someone must have been using a lag switch in the last match. People were being chainsawed when there wasn't even an enemy next to them.
