"All Hollows' Eve" Double Exp

JLC215 — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:52:48 GMT

To celebrate Halloween and the release of Title Update 5, we figured it was time for another double XP event weekend. Of course that means starting on the morning of Oct 30th you will recieve double XP in competitive multiplayer and Horde as well as a team winning bonus. Beyond that though we wanted to mess with the waves in Horde to try and make it appropriately "scary" for Halloween. So while Butchers seemed on target for the theme, they didn't provide enough umph to make ...

GOW2 Hackers

JLC215 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:43:10 GMT

Found myself in a game of Guardian last night where the other team had 'hacked' or 'glitched' the system causing you to get 10 million points for every kill and run around like speedy gonzales. As a result I went from level 52 to 100 in the one game. I now feel dirty and ashamed . Does anyone know how I could go about getting my rank/points reset Have tried looking in the GOW2 official and Xbox forums but no luck. I used the contact us form in the Epic forums but not holding my breath ...

From THIS THREAD. . . c*nt face arsehole moderator JoeGraf over on the official Gears forums had this to say about using party chat when playing Gears 2. . .

The game has dynamic bandwidth adjustments built into it. The game does not know about the consumption of party chat so it ...

Public Match grouping

The Blue Duck — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 23:56:10 GMT

G'day Dad's Army it's The Blue Duck here I was wondering if we could get together some people to have group sex public matches with 5 of us in. It's alot easier to find matches with a fixed group of 5. I know we did pretty well the other night with a group who were happy to play tactic's as well as keep the fun levels up . I know there are some that don't care too much about publics (including me sometimes), but if you're interested then I know who will be happy to leave the ...
