Kill Epic employees in Gears of War 2 this Friday

Aside from initiating a week of Gears of War 2 double XP, Epic will also turn loose a few of its employees on the masses. The official site for the game reveals that ten different Epic employees will be playing the new Dark Corners playlist this Friday night, from 4pm ET to 7pm ET.

So, grease up your Lancer and be ready ahead of time. Once the event kicks off, you may find these folk Gorgon before you know it. Get it? Gorgon. Hello? Where are you going?

Sweet! Now I can passive-aggressively take out my anger of the Dark Corners price on the actual developers instead of other gamers! No love from the street...

In b4 people complaining about buying the wrong DLC pack!

How is it a bad price? 7 maps and additional campaign section for $15, versus a Halo map pack with 3 maps for &10? Seems like a good deal to me.

What I'm talking about is the price paid for the maps if you bought the game at launch, and have bought each pack when it came out; 2800msp=$35USD total (Combustible 800msp, Snowblind 800msp, and Dark Corners 1200msp), compared to the 1600msp=$20USD for the whole shebang if you're just joining the party. $15 isn't a ton of money to pay to have the maps before the people taking their time, and honestly it's not a big deal, but it's kind of lame that if you're loyal to the IP they charge you more.

I hope every one of their games is a lag fest so they get fed up with it and fix it.

I hope that people use the shield glitch and run through a hail bullets to chainsaw them.

Maybe then they'll realize that the game is borderline broken online.

Do you mean the shield glitch that was fixed months ago? Or is there a new one that I haven't seen online yet?

Shield glitch fixed?
You must be having a laugh.

I just used the shield glitch a few days ago.....

Remember, this is Epic Fail Games we're talking about.
Failure is in their middle name. o_O

Did anyone else notice in the press release it says Epic will be hosting the games. Sounds like an admission of laggy online play. I will give them credit though it is much better now then it was maybe 1 in 15 games now is bad the rest are managable.

Ha, so losing players faster than you can say "chainsawdomy" Epic decides to take a page from Bungie and go head to head with their fans in a fragtastic day of gaming bliss. Sorry, but it still won't get me to blow the dust off my Gears 2 disc.
