Everyone's favorite viking, Epic Games' Rod Fergusson, tweeted last night that a 20XP event would launch today for Gears of War 2 in honor of this week's Comic-Con.

So, from 9AM Eastern this morning through July 25th, the Veteran Gear achievement will once again be significantly easier to earn than it normally is. It's been confirmed the achievement will somehow carry over into Gears of War 3, so you're going to want to hit level 100 sooner rather than later.

Don't forget to take advantage of already created gaming sessions to find others looking to reach their veteran rank. If none of those times work for you, then try setting up one of your own!
