Red Dead Redemption Double XP Weekend Starts Today

So, you've got the Thanksgiving turkey roasting away in the oven, gelatinous cranberries congealing on the side... Now, what's missing?

If you're thinking, a chance to shoot cowboys and earn double-XP, then Rockstar has got you covered as it's holding a 2x XP weekend on Red Dead Redemption from today through Sunday. That's four days of six-shooting, rooting and tooting levelling-up multiplayer fun.

"Stuff Yourself with 4 Days of Red Dead Redemption Double XP," Rockstar announced via its website. Happy Thanksgiving, ya varmints!

@1 it's not the first time they do double xp weekends, they were doing it already a few more times with RDR and even GTA4

Can it be? Something I'm tempted to play that isn't to do with Black Operations?

I was extremely close to getting the original 1K for this game, I think I hit 940G (Cannon kills, species kills and something else).. then there was this little birdie that goes bye the name of DLC which decided to piss on my parade and so my completion for this game is down to 54%.

I am tempted to buy the DLC package though, mainly for Undead Nightmare as that looks awesome and I need something other than CoD to play right now, playing that game day in, day out, makes it feel so stale and makes me realise how much it HASN'T changed since CoD 4...

To be honest, I just want Rockstar to announce their next GTA, we all know they're making it and are probably quite a fair way through development.

@9 True that, but, I am just about enough of a whore to boost them, as long they're not outrageous and not too hard to boost. Although a few responses on here would suggest that there are a few glitches to be had.. maybe I should look more into the DLC before buying it..

Could this be Game of the Year? I'm hoping they'll release one with all the DLC included so I can get it(still haven't played it yet). But then Mass Effect 2 or Starcraft 2 could win...maybe even Alan Wake..

@21 I am sure many different websites will have their own "GOTY". It's all down to opinion in the end. If you believe you have a favourite game of 2010, then you can go around calling it game of the year.. your opinion is equal to that of these "professionals".

My own GOTY.. that would go to either Bad Company 2 or Red Dead for sure. The only reason I don't own BadCo2 is because some retard on the EA help section of their website reset my online rank of 26 to 0 and so I traded it in to fund Red Dead out of revenge, I had already obtained the full 1000 for it anyway but planned on playing for a few months more because I loved the MP enough to do so. Looking back I kinda regret selling the game and don't know why I haven't picked it back up.

I know this has almost nothing to do with Red Dead but oh well.

In short, I want another Red Dead game!

@8
Although I didn't have as many points as that, my feelings are similar.

Plus, I was tired of rolling through the public wasteland alone, having to kill off almost every other person I encounter out of self-defense, guess I need to hook up with a posse on the forums.

I've already leveled up from Level 20 to 26 in a couple of hours (with breaks) boosting Pike's Basin. This 2x XP is beautiful.
