Gears 2 Triple XP 9 day event!!

[PKerr]

"Friday, November 6, 9 AM EST, through Monday, November 16, 9 AM EST, Gears of War 2 gamers get a nine-day multiplayer extravaganza. In addition to triple experience throughout the event, players will be able to play in an all-new tactical mode across all multiplayer game types (including Horde). Players can expect two big changes in tactical mode, increased weapon damage and reduced ammo counts, along with a few subtle tweaks such as increasing down-but-not-out health so revives are still possible. Also during the event, Public Horde’s difficulty will be bumped to hardcore, and playlists can include individual game types—meaning you can play exactly what you want, when you want. Prepare for the challenge, and more than ever, remember to take cover!"

Terrible timing. I'll be too busy with Dragon Age to care.

Hmm might give it a shot. I never got into on line GoW. I guess this is to brace for all the MW 2 hype.

What does the XP do??

I mean do you level up or anything?

Hmm triple XP might've enticed me to throw Gears 2 back in for a bit. I played the original a ton on XBL, I played through the single player on pt 2... but when I tried to take it online the matchmaking would literally take 20 minutes... I assume they've fixed it by now, but that game just ended up on the forgotten scrap heap.
