New Gears of War 2 XP Event

When Epic Games wants to celebrate its successful Gears of War franchise, the team likes to hold something called an XP event. This means that for a set amount of time people who log on to Xbox Live and play the game will gain bonus experience. For example, on the first anniversary of Gears of War 2, players were able to earn triple XP for nine straight days, and earlier this month players earned 8x XP during the July 4th weekend.

The latest XP Event has been unveiled by Executive Producer of the Gears of War franchise Rod Fergusson on his Twitter: GearsViking. His initial statement was:

"Ok, here's my bribe. The SDCC XP event will be # of my followers divided by 500. So 4000 followers means 8x XP."

He has since marveled at his increase in followers, which has bumped the experience multiplier up to 10x XP. Fergusson has also mentioned that San Diego Comic-Con attendees will get to experience Beast Mode. We'll have more on the exact timing of the XP event as it is revealed.

Remember, you have to follow Rod on Twitter in order to bump up the experience earned during the event.

12. Without approval from the president any individual with the xBBSx in front of their names are false claiming. If you do not see their gamer tag on the site then they are not Bang.
