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:

I still own my copy of Gears of War 2 however I haven’t played it in a while… But, since the developers of Gears of War 2 have announced that they will be updating the game’s ranking system to a new system that is based on experience instead of purely on skill. I just may consider popping my Gears of War 2 game back into my Xbox 360 for a few more rounds of fighting with my friends. The update for this ranking system is due March 24.

Some of the issues that are going to be addressed in the update at that which follow;

Improvements
Adds an experience penalty for players quitting before a match is complete.
Adds the ability for teams to talk to each other between rounds in a Private Match.
