Gears of War 2 Labor Day Double XP Weekend

Epic Games is preparing an action-packed Labor Day Double XP weekend for you and your friends to gain extra experience points while trading bullets in “Gears of War 2” multiplayer. In addition, you’ll get a chance to face off against the creators of the game during a Game with Developer event taking place on Sept. 4.

The event will run from Friday morning, Sept 4. until Tuesday morning, Sept. 8 (Eastern time)

Double experience for all Horde games and Public multiplayer games

Winning team gets a 500 XP bonus in Public multiplayer

Public Horde will default to Hardcore difficulty instead of Normal

Horde will be infected with Sires, just like the Ticker attack of July 4th

Hardcore Horde (Public or Private) will receive an extra experience boost (essentially double Hardcore will be the same as double Insane)

More details about the Labor Day Double XP weekend are below:
