Hey all,
So to celebrate Labor Day here in the US and the fact that the GOTY Edition of Gears 2 is hitting store shelves next week, we figured it's time for another weekend event including a Game with Developer.
The details of the event are:
- The event will run from Friday morning, Sept 4th till Tuesday morning, Sept 8th (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)
As for the Game with Developer, the event will run on Friday September 4th from
4 PM till 7 PM (Eastern). I'll post more info about this part of it once I confirm exactly which gamertags we're going to use.
EDIT: And now I can confirm the Gamertags. We're using the same ones as we used for the last event except we've cleared the Friends lists (except for the names Flak gave us) in an attempt to get more community players involved before the news goes out more broadly. So send us your friend requests!
EDIT#2: We're now starting at 4 PM instead of 5 PM
I hope everyone had a great summer and I looking forward to sending it off with a bang!
Thanks,
Rod.
