Halloween's about to get bloody, at least for all the gear heads! According to the official site, not only is this weekend a big bonus XP weekend, they're offering 31 times the usual XP AND a special chainsaw massacre edition for Horde (lancer-only-matches).
"Our favorite horror films leave little to the imagination. Psychological horror is cool and all, but we on Gears prefer to rock Halloween the old-fashioned way: running, screaming, and a bit of chainsaw-inspired terror. Sound like your kind of fun? Then join us for this weekend’s Gears 2 XP event! From October 29 through November 2, XP earned across all multiplayer modes skyrockets to 31 times the usual amount. We’re also shaking things up with a special chainsaw massacre edition of Horde—Lancer-only matches with no more chainsaw interrupts to save your enemies (or you!) from certain gory evisceration."
