Ahhh yes nothing like starting the 4th of July holiday weekend off right by having Double XP for Gears of War 2. Here is what was mentioned over on the EpicGames forum…

Starting Friday morning you’ll be receiving double XP as well as a 500 XP bonus awarded to the winning team. And to give a little extra bang to Horde we’re bringing the Ticker squad (a group of Tickers that all spawn at the same time) into full effect. They’ll be showing up a lot more throughout all the waves of Horde and they’ve completely infested every 10th wave with nothing but Tickers. So if you’ve been having trouble with Bloodmounts, this weekend is a good time to get your Horde on and get further than ever before. And don’t forget that TU4 will give you experience for every wave you beat.

The awesome double XP event will end on Monday morning on July 6th. So if you down have the game borrow it from a friend who doesn’t know about it or pick up a used one and save it for the next double XP weekend.Similar Posts:
