Thats Awesome :DWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:12 PM
got all fronts need the achievements for hord.... oh my god on easy 600 XP per wave... just insane ^^Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:17 PM
thats great and all, Its just a shame that I never get any bonus Xp, so fuck you epic, you can shove it up your ass.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:17 PM
i have never dabbled in the GOW2 MP.......is this going to make lvl'ing up for certain achievements really easy?Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:18 PM
I'll still never see lvl 100. They should lower the amount needed because it's ridiculous.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:20 PM
pretty good thing there, i shall see most of you online. #23, makes it easy plus just play hoarde, you get xp for that alsoWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:22 PM
What the fuck! They really love double XP!Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:26 PM
awesome. i think i can take a week off of boosting gears 1 for this.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:27 PM
OMG and i thought 3x was good but 6x this is insane and going to make it a hell of a lot easier to get to the big 1 0 0.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:28 PM
:DWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:28 PM
Guess I'm going to be doing nothing but playing Gears next weekWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:31 PM
wow . i might start going after the rank achievements now ;DWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:35 PM
going to have to dust this off and reach at least lvl 50Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:41 PM
its funny because the whole title six update didnt help me at all because my level online got reset, even though it was supposedly fixed. i wanna play but my level will most likely get reset for the 4th time. wtfWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:45 PM
I bet the GOW veterans are pissed of we are leveling 6x faster than they did lolWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:46 PM
looks like i got next week planned nowWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:48 PM
Not played GOW 2 sinse last year but I was rank 60 then, hmm maybe I can finally finish this off.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:51 PM
Just picked this game up again a few weeks ago. At level 40 now. Hopefully the exp will help me get up to at least 50.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:55 PM
Whoa! Will buy the GotY edition this weekend and rank up to 50 in a week =DWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:55 PM
@#6-uh, it still takes a long time; not so easy. I'll definitely be taking part in this. It's just too good to pass up!Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:55 PM
My rank got reset today from 83! Guess I can get a fair amount of that back now!Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:59 PM
WHATTTTT !!! 1) number 22 shhhhhhh epic rules . Well I am with ya I am rank 62 and gave up and now gd old epic have swayed me yet again to go 4 the dreaded rank 100! EPIC = THE BEST !Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 04:59 PM
2nd time i got reset . now i started playing on the last triple xp where i got to lvl 32 in 2 days (6-7 hours maybe less) hoping to get to lvl 60 on 6x xp. seriously, whenever i look for ranked execution or warzones match , i cant ever find a match . the only time i see people playing this game is when its triple or double xp. then after that people stop. cant wait for gears 3 , hoping it will be amazing like the first 1 , not a fan of 2nd oneWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:01 PM
@40 Oh my god from 83 I would rage so hard :P Mine was just from 40 and I raged hahaha OT Ima rape on some Gears next week :D Good things its just after school gets out!Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:01 PM
WHOAAAAH! 6X THE XP!!! too bad the multiplayer is still ridiculously bad.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:04 PM
Defiantly taking part in this next week between commercial breaks of E3 of course!Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:08 PM
Woohoo, just as my exams finish! Great timing :DWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:16 PM
LOL! My exams finish on the 22nd :/ looks like i'm gonna have to miss this one out haha...Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:17 PM
My GOW2 disc stopped working just in time....Damn!Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:20 PM
I can't waitWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:21 PM
Okay, I'll play again Epic. :pWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:22 PM
@41 Why did your rank get reset?Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:22 PM
At level 98 right now, this will defo get me my Wings. Thanks Epic :)Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:23 PM
On topic - now if they KEEP it at 6x, they'd have a lot of people playing it so they can get up to level 100. Me included.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:31 PM
Time to whip out gears and get sum !Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:32 PM
ill buy the maps for 800 MSP then play this. Awesome.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:34 PM
Hmm, give me my rank 72 back and we'll talk exp not really meaning anything to me anymore, but cool thing to do and credit to themWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:36 PM
They finally realised no one is playing to get to that ridiculous level 100, worst achievement ever!!!!!!!!Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:45 PM
After having my 87 reset back in March, I was not a happy bunny. But I took it in my stride and continued. I'm now back at 67. By the sound of it, this will get me back to my 87 and then some. Thank GOD. As a heads up to how INSANE this is, scoring a simple 1,000pts in Wingman will net you 7,080xp.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:48 PM
i might actually play this game after years of inactivity now :)Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 05:52 PM
I'm never going to make 100, but what the hell, might as well fire up the 'ole chainsaw next week then.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:01 PM
lvl 50 here I comeWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:04 PM
yeah like alot of the other guys here.. mmy rank got reset too. i think ill be taking part to net me a few achievement lol i actually strayed away from gears to play guitar hero more :P but this might bring the need to play back to me lol good work EPICWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:09 PM
sounds like fun. know what i'll be doing next week.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:16 PM
Even with 6x exp, it'll still take forever to reach 50, let alone 100. Trust me I know.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:17 PM
F I N A L L Y ! ! ! Level 100, here I come... legit. Boosting is in session.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:21 PM
6x Wow Iam in.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:21 PM
Sweet but i already have level 100 Legit but cool now some of my friends can get it though! :)Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:33 PM
Think ill give it some more attention. It does deserve more than i give. I wish Horde mode gave you alot more xp. Ohwell i can hope.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:37 PM
Count me in. 6x xp = win. I wonder if i can get from my 52 to 100 in that time...Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:54 PM
I CAN HAZ LVL 100?Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:55 PM
Was just looking on ShopTo.net, and saw the GOTY edition for £13. Was athinking about buying it, and now I'm pretty certain that I will be buying it, unless I can find a really cheap standard copy, as the maps are only 800 and I got my 2100 card for £4 ages ago. Oh and @67 - I like how you said "legit". Are you implying that the 6x XP is somehow considered not legit?Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:57 PM
Might have to re-buy the game then. I've been wanting to pick up the All Fronts Collection anyways...Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 06:57 PM
this is good of epic but i have exams on all that week :(Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 07:02 PM
I might bother trying to power level to 50 now from 40 odd, sweet !Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 07:15 PM
sweet and just started to get bak into it yay.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 07:16 PM
Alright, time to fork over 800 msp for those maps then.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 07:20 PM
bullshit i got exams..:( i'll do my best to be online! :PWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 07:36 PM
I'm a level 76 so I figure I'll be at least a level 100 by the time it's over. Hey, I can dream high can't I?Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 07:44 PM

Wow... My disc just got the unreadable error... the week before 6x XP... That's lovely...Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 08:30 PM
Wow, this is ironic! 6x XP begins right after I get my wings! (I'll be hitting 100 tonight) Oh well, take advantage while you can, guys.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 08:31 PM
@71 naw not like that im just saying that because a lot of people don't have legit 100s...Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 08:54 PM
man i just want to get up to that level 50. im 27 so hopefully i'll be good.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 09:21 PM
That is the only game im only playing this game next week, I want my wings and to complete this crazy game :DWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 09:30 PM
Oh My Ahgod. I though double xp or triple xp was great getting 15000xp in wingman. Oh this will be great hopefully i'll be able to get in the 90's or at least close lvl 74 right now.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 09:31 PM
Disliked Gears 2 but since the patch I've been meaning to try. Guess this will put it over the edge.Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 09:55 PM
FINALLY THEY SHOULDVE DONE THIS A LONG TIME AGO WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 09:56 PM
Time to get back into Gears 2. Been a while. Anyone know if this counts towards local Horde matches as well?Wednesday, June 09, 2010 @ 10:17 PM

umm, i have finals all that week. FFFFUUUUUThursday, June 10, 2010 @ 12:30 AM
@#9 have you even played the first gears? based on your comment i'd say you haven't.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 01:01 AM
@24 Exactly. It'd still take hundreds of hours even at 6x EXP.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 02:46 AM
Going for at least 75.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 03:25 AM
thats cool n all but my gow2 takes forever findin a game so i never play this online lolThursday, June 10, 2010 @ 03:44 AM
Might try and get through some of the level achievements I had given up on.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 03:53 AM
shweeeeeeeet!Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 04:05 AM
@87 - Oh OK, I understand what you mean now. :) I'm going to figure out what the XP needed for Level 100 is, and calculate how much I'm going to have to play to get there.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 05:15 AM
Oh yes! I missed the double for St Paddy's day, so this will make up for it! And I can get the other horde achievements too!!Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 05:19 AM
Think it's time I loaded up my shotty!Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 06:05 AM
Great news, but just when the world cups started?! Oh well, level 78 now hopefully I can get near the 90 mark.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 06:30 AM
Sounds very good!!! A little off topic but with the veteran gear achievement stating "Reach level 100 and win a match on each of the 4 Snowblind Map Pack maps" (Public only), with title update 6 public matches are no longer available so basically the question is; Do ranked matches now count towards the snowblind map wins or are you screwed if you haven't already got the wins before the new update?Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 06:35 AM
@106 - its sumat like 7million exp u need for lvl100Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 06:48 AM
Well i'm inThursday, June 10, 2010 @ 06:53 AM
This would have interested me if i hadn't just went on gears to find my rank reset? WTF! i knew they were resetting people who had glitched for 100 but FFS i was only level 30 odd...Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 07:10 AM
yes my rank was reset also,i was only around 25 thoughThursday, June 10, 2010 @ 07:17 AM
@110 - I'm pretty sure public now means "not custom", so either ranked or social matches should count. That's the way it worked on the 4 MP achievements in the original 1000G.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 07:38 AM
Nice, hopefully I can finally get that Rank 100 achievement, and then it's just Seriously 2.0 to 100% this game.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 09:10 AM
this is just gettig deppresing! I was away for the double xp weekend to celebrate the update release, and now im away for the week of x6 XP!!!!! :'(Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 10:22 AM
Looks like ill be playin this next week! :)Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 11:13 AM
lol, i got veteran gear before epic started giving people 6x exp weeks.Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 11:19 AM
The wife's away next week, just in time for a shit tonne of Gears playing :).Thursday, June 10, 2010 @ 11:41 AM

Holy poop! I know what I am doing next week while E3 is going on...Friday, June 11, 2010 @ 02:32 AM
Gutted my 360 is broke :-(Friday, June 11, 2010 @ 02:34 AM

Lovely BiscuitsFriday, June 11, 2010 @ 09:50 AM
I'm roughly halfway to level 97 so this will definitely help out. Continuing to fight through the lag...Friday, June 11, 2010 @ 11:38 AM
wow...i thought that i would be playing ff13 most of that week but now...im almost at lvl 50 on gears 2 so i might try getting to 75 or maybe all the way to 100 now.Saturday, June 12, 2010 @ 03:10 AM
We have a little less than 300 days to get the rest of the achievements!Saturday, June 12, 2010 @ 03:51 AM
wow definetly going to constantly play this game the whole of next week nice one EPIC :)Saturday, June 12, 2010 @ 01:09 PM
We're getting 300 XP for random matches of Horde...so with this eevnt next week, we'll get 900 XP for every successful round? SWEET ASS SWEET!Saturday, June 12, 2010 @ 01:10 PM
event. Yeah.Sunday, June 13, 2010 @ 07:08 PM
boo gears of war hope everyone plays a long time and then loses their xp againMonday, June 14, 2010 @ 12:08 AM
@135, good to know that not only do you dislike a game, and that you have the lack of mental aptitude to know that no-one cares what you think about gears 2 on a comment thread ABOUT how Gears 2 will be making life easier for the players, you probably think every game that has the slightest bit of lag sucks. Go back to your moms basement and stop wishing bad luck on people who genuinely work hard for something, real or digital. OT: At level 73.25, hoping to get to 80+ if I do really well.Monday, June 14, 2010 @ 04:07 AM
This was a triumph.Monday, June 14, 2010 @ 05:51 AM
OMG HOLY SH**ZMonday, June 14, 2010 @ 09:10 AM
xp's exactly the same..Tuesday, June 15, 2010 @ 05:17 PM
maybe if epic made better games where people didn't lose their xp in multiplayer i wouldn't be complaining its happened to a bunch of peopleWednesday, June 16, 2010 @ 09:24 AM
Its good i was Rank 51 and now i am 63Thursday, June 17, 2010 @ 02:52 PM
there is lack of players!? i have waited over 30 mins to get play KOTH and all i have founded is 2 PLAYERS!Thursday, June 17, 2010 @ 11:08 PM
Pissed off because every time I try to start a match i get a Disc unreadable message... thought the second update would help... it didn'tMonday, June 21, 2010 @ 11:20 AM
@141 its coz ur sad..
Wednesday, June 09, 2010
To celebrate next week's E3, and no doubt the first real showing of Gears of War 3 to the gaming press, Rod Ferguson, Executive Producer on the Gears of War franchise, just announced that Gears of War 2 will be running a 6 times XP week all next week. Yes, that's 6 times the experience that you'd usually get... which is frankly insane!
"It's official, we're going with 6x XP for the week of E3. So that's 3 times the current double XP," said Ferguson in a tweet a short while ago.
The triple-double XP week kicks off this coming Monday June 14th at 9am EDT (2pm GMT) and will run all the way through till 9am EDT (2pm GMT again) on June 21st.
So if you needed something to do outside of show hours this coming E3, then why not rack up a crap load of Gears of War 2 experience.
