A fair bit of the latest Achievements added to Gears of War 2 are tied to the multiplayer ranking system. If you’re an Achievement whore that lacks patience or mad chainsaw skills, this can be a bit of a bummer. But, then again, every holiday weekend seems to usher in a Gears 2 multiplayer XP event.
Well, what do you know? Epic Games is throwing a Labor Day event. Starting this morning and stretching through September 8th, everyone can earn double XP in multiplayer. In addition to this, winning teams in competitive public matches are being awarded with an extra 500 points.
Also, Horde has been moved up to “Hardcore” difficulty, with “every tenth wave populated entirely by Sires.”
Sounds thrilling and it’s totally happening right now! Go go go.

And also, it does not take skill to use the chainsaw. Holding the B button is all it takes.
