Raffboner · 14-05-2009, 6:02 AM

Got this from Gears.com, maybe I will hit level 50 before xmas after all

Gears 2 double XP weekend incoming! Play Gears of War 2 Public multiplayer matches on Xbox LIVE this weekend and earn double the experience to increase your multiplayer rank. The event kicks off on Friday, May 15, at 5 AM EST (9 AM GMT) and runs through Monday, May 18, at 9 AM EST (1 PM GMT). Get some friends together, play to win, and boost your rank—every successful kill and every capture gets you that much closer to the fabled rank of 100. Keep your eyes on gearsofwar.com for more Double XP events!

Too right, lets face it its never gonna happen is it, my goal is to get to 50 and then we'll see after that.

Oh and cheers for the heads up Raffboner!

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.

Sniper Ash6 · 14-05-2009, 11:04 AM

5 i think and Nick needs one so we should be abot to get them done over the weekend and grab a ton of XP

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?

Steady Jim, comments like that do not go down well in this section of the forums

Dr Evilest · 14-05-2009, 1:21 PM

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.

Sniper Ash6 · 14-05-2009, 4:26 PM

nah hes cool with it he'll get them and so will you and i

@ kop - theres always time for GoW2 after the loss

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.

shagaboopon · 14-05-2009, 7:29 PM

I guess I know what I'm playing all day tomorrow

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.
