Everyone loves free multiplayer rank points, mmm hmm! Gear up for long hours on the 360 for the next couple of days. Epic Games has announced that Gears of War 2 will be having a Double XP weekend over Xbox Live starting May 15.

The event starts on Friday, 5 a.m. EST (9 a.m. GMT), all the way up until Monday, May 18, 9 a.m. EST (1 p.m. GMT). As these Double XP weekends go, each kill and capture will boost your rank points up.

So go on ahead and call up all of your nooby friends and pwn them to dust over the weekend. I mean, that's what friends are for, right?
