Celebrate the 4th of July with a CoD: World at War Double XP weekend!

In celebration of Independence Day in the US, Microsoft has announced that Call of Duty: World at War wil be running a double XP weekend from July 3 to July 6. The double XP weekend will be available to all Xbox Live gold members worldwide.

Along with the double XP promotion, a play list update is scheduled to go live on July 3, integrating the Map Pack 2 maps into the Core and Hardcore rotations.



Celebrate the 4th of July with a Gears of War 2 Double XP weekend!!

Epic Games is doing the same thing with their own title giving Gears of War 2 it’s own double XP weekend from July 3 to July 6, as well. During ranked matches on the public play list, everyone will receive double the XP, and the winning team will also walk away with an additional 500 XP.

In addition to the double XP promotion, the latest update for Gears of War 2 will be released sometime before the weekend allowing for some changes to the Horde mode (most notably the addition of experience points). Speaking of the Horde mode, Epic will be celebrating Independence Day with it’s own fireworks by adding Tickers to every wave in Horde, and on the 10th wave of every Horde match, there will only be Tickers.



So, which double XP promotion will you be enjoying this weekend? Call of Duty: World at War or Gears of War 2? Would be nice to get some Peps together to take advantage of the double XP promotion. If anyone wants to meet up, let me know by posting here and I will go and try to rent one or both games...

Happy Killing!
