Step 1 - sign up for our Gears of War Friends of Friends list. This is what our hosts use to send out game invites to you during the Game Night.
Step 2 - sign up each week for our Gears of War Game Night. The host will send out invites to everyone that signs up.
- Also, please read our GAME NIGHTS GUIDELINE before signing up.
Each Thursday we will have a Gears of War 2 Game Night. The games will start at approximately 9pm Eastern Time and run until there are no more players left. Sign-up by simply clicking the 'Join' link on the front page. Then choose if you want to be a Host, and if so, the max players your connection can handle. You can also indicate which game type you prefer, time you are available, and any other comments you may want to add. If you decide later on that you do not want to participate, simpy click 'Quit' to remove yourself from the list.
Notes for Hosts:
- Hosts will start rooms in order that they show up on the 'Hosts' list.
- Only open room if the previous host's room fills up, or he shuts his room down, or does not show up.
- Please note that the Hosts list only represents those that are eligible to host games. More than likely all these hosts will not be needed.
- Add all the hosts to your friends list so you can communicate between each other to determine if rooms are full.
- Change status to "Busy" when your room is full.
- FYI: If you get an XBL message from someone wanting to get into your room, but they are not on your friends list, you can use it to view the sender's profile and send an invite from there.
- Not sure how many people you can host? Visit our Hosting Discussion and ask for help.
Notes for Non-hosts:
- Please text the word "invite" rather than sending a voice message, as it is easier to check and allows for a quicker response.
- To ensure you get into the match, check to see if you have the hosts on your Xbox Live friends list. If not, send them a text message before the match saying that you want to participate in their room for that night. They can view your profile from that meesage and send you a game invite. For example, "I see you are a host this week for Gears of War 2 starting at 9pm EST; please send me a game invite once you set it up."
- The host will set his online status to "Busy" when his room is full.
