  • Shaunrunning09

    yeah I’ve been reset twice, once at 33 and once at 66.  Luckily I wasn’t reset when I worked my way up to 99 lol since I’m a 100 now the thing I’m mad about is the kills – the first time I got reset I had 25,000+ and that went to 0.  Now I’m at 93,000

    If anyone here think their good at gears of war 2 and is looking to joining a clan message me… My Gamertag is DkG x iP o LL o… We play underground. We are looking most of all for a support player like myself that can handle themselves with a shotgun as well…

  • Brenthardbarger

    You’re right it was x5 this past weekend, but if you look at what they posted by date, we should have been getting x5 the first weekend and x10 this past weekend. I was only gettin x5 all weekend. Maybe I am reading their post wrong and def not complaining any extra xp is good, esp considering the amount it takes to level up.

  • Jhewitt365
