Redmond, WA - September 2, 2009 - 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 September 4th, 2009.
- 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)
