Triple XP Event (Nov. 6th - Nov. 16th)

CELEBRATE GEARS 2’s FIRST ANNIVERSARY WITH TRIPLE XP

posted 11/5/2009

Friday, November 6, 9 AM EST, through Monday, November 16, 9 AM EST, Gears of War 2 gamers get a nine-day multiplayer extravaganza. In addition to triple experience throughout the event, players will be able to play in an all-new tactical mode across all multiplayer game types (including Horde). Players can expect two big changes in tactical mode, increased weapon damage and reduced ammo counts, along with a few subtle tweaks such as increasing down-but-not-out health so revives are still possible. Also during the event, Public Horde’s difficulty will be bumped to hardcore, and playlists can include individual game types—meaning you can play exactly what you want, when you want. Prepare for the challenge, and more than ever, remember to take cover!

The tactical mode is boring. No shotgun battles, all lancering.

If anything, the shotgun battles are boring, it happens all the time. Ammo count doesn't really affect me, because I don't live long enough to burn through all my ammo anyway.

I like it, easy downing with my Lancer but shotguns battles happen every now and then.

So? How's that any different from everyone using a shotty? lol. I love this tweak. So many times this weekend some asshole had the Gears 1 mentality and came charging at me from across the map with his boltok or shotgun in hand and I downed him before he even got anywhere close to being considered a threat. I only switch to my shotgun if I'm about to ambush a group that are just around the corner, otherwise I stick with the lancer. Fail to see how that's a bad thing. Edit: Typos.

The question is does anyone actually care about the experience anymore. With all of the hackers already being lvl 100 does leveling up this late in the games life important at all? Sure the added game type is cool, of course no one plays horde online so who cares about that.

I still think it's fun to play online, I know I'm only one person, but surely the fact that also there are enough peopole that play this game online for them to wish to do this would suggest that people do care.
