So I'm boned on getting the beta unlocks since dumbass MS banned my 5 year account. Lame.

Hmmm code of conduct all over your bio and a 297135 Gamer score? Your account reeks of a boosted gamer score so if that's the case there is only one dumbass in all of this.

If it turns out that you actually have earned every single achievement for every single game you have played on the 360 then excuse the above comment. Just a little hard to believe when somebody has pretty much a 100% completion ratio.

we boosted/glitched(my roommates and myself) not gonna deny it. theyre fake numbers anyways.

e: when the condemned 1 glitch became public a few years ago that gave one achievement for 30000 gamerscore, and ms didnt even attempt to fix it, whats the point of caring about the fake number if MS didnt?

not the reason i got banned though. got banned for the black ops hardended edition maps that were just released as dlc. downloaded the "free" moon map for having that edition, ms had an error and people, including a few "reviewers" and xna developers from another site, who apparently got banned because of the codes MS SENT them. got banned on accident. MS has a "we cant tell you what you did wrong, but here's a phone number that you can call that will run you straight back to our e-mail" policy. every person who got the automated message got it exactly one week from downloading the map.

wouldn't have been that big of a deal if it was for gamerscore boosting, which is a whole nother thread to talk about. but legit players got banned for MS' screw up.

e3: qj.net has an article, i'm not going to link it tho because i think the site talks about piracy and has meh reporting style.

e4: to be clear the reason i got banned was because of "marketplace theft"

Wait what?

Does this mean it's not 25x xp anymore? I thought that ran until release of Gears 3?
Click to expand...
It is 25x xp. What I am saying is that the xp multiplier is 25x the original format of xp back from when the xp system launched.

About 10months later they made it permanent 2x.

No, it's still 25. They made it a permanent 2x a long time ago. The 25 is from the original xp that you would get. Not the 2x bonus.

Idk if it's been asked and answered yet, and I'm too lazy to browse, but were the controller skin codes mixed up with Adam Fenix codes? I have Adam Fenix, but the skins that came with the controller don't show up.. I have a regular copy of the game. :lol

So, i just scored 1016 in a gears 2 match

Why did i only get 24,100?

I thought this was a 25x EXP event?
Click to expand...
it depends what game type you are playing. for some game types, the point/xp ratio isn't exactly 1.

So Rod said the weapon skins would be discounted on release day. Did he mention what the discounted price would be?
Click to expand...
Where did he say this? He said that buying all of them in one pack is cheaper than buying them all separate. I don't recall him saying that there would be a release day discount.

Also I was just going through Rods twitter and saw some interesting things. The title update for the beta and veteran gears unlocks will hit around 4 am est Monday morning. So no one will have to worry come Monday night.

There is also something for seriously 2.0. It's an in game title and medal.

Just finished Act1, Chapter V.
This game is fantastic. Great lighting, memorable set pieces - and good story telling.
Can´t wait to go back to it.

Finished act 2 yesterday. The game is awesome. The guys at Epic games did a fantastic job. The game is easily the best looking 360 game to date and the controls are perfect. Gears 3 seems to be much more polished than the previous games and I'm glad they improved the friendly AI.

Hot damn. Where do you live? I'm in Cheshire - concerned the deliveries have only been able to make it to the southern folk.

Also fuck our postman for not showing up until 3pm sometimes :(

Game are doing a decent trade in atm, trade in a slim 250 gig 360 and get the limited ed console that comes with the game two pads and a 320 gig hdd for £99. Not bad considering the game is £40, so your paying like £60 for a new 12 month warrenty a bigger hdd and two new pads. I think i will be taking them up on this deal as my launch day slim hasnt got much if any warrenty left.
