Gears of War 2 extra XP weekends

[Symmetric-XBA]

With Gears of War 3 coming next month, Epic games is looking to ensure that everyone has a chance to get the "Veteran Gears" achv. To get this achv. you have to win on each of the 4 snowblind maps in the snowblind map pack, but you also MUST be level 100. Now this normally would take a VERY long time to get, however, Epic is lending a helping hand by offering some major extra XP weekends. When I say major I'm not just talking double XP, I'm talking about one weekend earning you 25x XP! Here's a listing of all the upcoming extra XP weekends along w/ the (x)x XP you earn on that weekend!

Gears weekend XP Events

This weekend, we’ll be having “Tickers by the Boatload” in Horde as well as 32 rounds of shotgun ammo to take care of them! The following is our extra XP Schedule leading up to Gears of War 3 Launch.

8-19-2011 9:00 AM EST Through 8-22-2011 9:00 AM EST 5X
8-26-2011 9:00 AM EST Through 8-29-2011 9:00 AM EST 10X
9-2-2011 9:00 AM EST Through 9-5-2011 9:00 AM EST 15X
9-9-2011 9:00 AM EST Through 9-12-2011 9:00 AM EST 20X
9-16-2011 9:00 AM EST Through 9-19-2011 9:00 AM EST 25X

Even if you have fallen prey to the rank reset "glitch" (don't worry, thousands have been hit by this, including myself) you still have a chance to earn the Veteran Gear achv. and get all the goodies that come along with it for GoW3.

If anyone here on XBA would like to hit up some GoW2 and go after this extra XP let me know!

Ill jump on board for the 20x and 25x xp weekends. I only have Am I Dreaming (think that's it. Make it to wave 40) level left to do but Ill play all of them besides that one.

I thought that more people would be playing it but still seems quite :P

I can only speak for myself and a couple of friends but we only play horde. Unless your finding that quiet as well.

horde is a great way to earn some xp, but if you really want to pull in the big xp then boosting koth is the way to go. i managed to pull in over 100k xp per 14 min.

I can never find anyone to boost koth :(
