Dust Off Your Lancers for E3 and Join Thrawn

For a week surrounding E3 (June 14-21) Gears of War 2 will be offering up 6x the multiplayer experience. I know of many people who have no interest in obtaining the rank 100 achievement, but I still think I'll eventually get there at my own, admittedly long-winded pace. As fortune would have it, I have four of those 7 days off from work. So, I'll be getting E3 news on one screen while probably playing Gears on the other... or just playing Gears.

I play Gears 2 in spurts, going wild on it for a few days, then setting it aside for a while. I'm planning to make the most of the E3 bonus and devote virtually all of my gaming time to Gears until the bonus ends, at which point Gears 2 will likely sit unplayed for another 3 months before I so much as glance at it. I'd like to make as much progress to rank 100 as I possibly can.

If any of my readers are of a similar mindset, and would like to get together to boost Horde on Security (and mix in some MP when that gets dull) let me know. The more, the merrier.

  1. Playing horde is a waste of time. If you can it's best to try and get enough people together to boost guardian.

  2. True, Guardian boosting is far more effective... but getting the people together to do it is a pain in the ass. I'll absolutely go that way if I can find the people, but I doubt I'll be that fortunate.

  3. I'm definitely down for this. I'm not going for Rank 100, but I am going for Rank 50 and I so close to that rank, so I can't pass up the 6x XP.

  4. I'm like, <20,000 from 50. I'll join in if my xbox doesn't have problems connecting to live.

  5. Guardian boosting is now impossible anyway - as they have added a time limit to that gametype. Guess why? To stop people boosting. Epic sucks.
