For those of you planning to fill the upcoming long weekend with a little Gears 2, the folks over at Epic have something special in the works for you.
From today (Friday, May 22), at 9 AM EST, through Tuesday, May 26, at 9 AM EST, Public multiplayer matches are going the way of Gears 1 in an “old school” weekend event, featuring four-on-four teams and Smoke Grenades without their concussive blast. These changes affect the Execution - Warzone, Annex - KOTH, Guardian - Submission and DLC playlists only, and remember—these are Gears 1 rules. Only four to a team!
