Check post #69 for a Liquid Green Giveaway!!!!!
(Contest Now Over!)
Welcome to The Beginning of The End: Season 5 of Gears Community Online Network’s Community Nights! With the launch of Gears of War 3 and our viral campaign, The Beginning of The End, we are here to bring the Gears Community our second event of the season this Saturday, October 8th. This weekend’s event is Big Heads, Green Guns, & Tournaments, Oh My!
Many things are going on in the Gears Universe this weekend! Epic Games is celebrating Columbus Day with Big Head Mode Weekend, where certain playlists have Big Head Mode enabled.
Along with this event, King of The Couch is hosting a Gears of War 3 Tournament in Tenafly, NJ that will be viewable on our livestream channel: twitch.tv/gearscon. During this livestream we will be giving away (5) Liquid Green Metal Skins through out the tournament, so stay tuned for your chance to win.
Now if you aren’t able to attend the tournament on the East Coast, Primetime Gamers in Los Angeles are hosting a Gears of War 3 Charity Tournament that benefits “The Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.” If you have the opportunity please support this event for a great cause and for the Gears of War Community.
Our team will be hosting lobbies starting at 5PM EST with various types of matches for everyone to join. Simply check back here or on our article for how to get involved in GCON’s Big Heads, Green Guns, & Tournaments, Oh My! Weekend! We will be giving away (5) Liquid Green Metal Skins at the end of the event.
For fans on Twitter, you can join the conversation with the hashtag #GearsWeekend before, during and after the event. Epic Games will be randomly selecting tweets with that hashtag every Monday to win a prize, so join in and spread the word!

If you haven’t attended any of our events or heard of Gears Community Online Network (GCON) before here is what will be going on this Saturday. We will be hosting different types of Custom, Cooperative, and Public Lobbies that everyone is welcome too join. Lobbies will start opening at 5 PM EST with hosts from several different regions worldwide to give you the best connections possible. To join a match, simply message a host from your desired region from the list that we will post on Saturday about fifteen minutes before the event starts. Once you are in a lobby, we invite you to stay as long as you like and most lobbies run an average of three to five fours depending on attendance.
• Themed Multiplayer Lobbies: Our private multiplayer lobbies. Play with other community members on connection and personality-tested hosts for some great community experiences. This season also marks the return of our old school “GCON themed” nights, which adds new twists to your Gears of War 3 experience. Don’t forget, these multiplayer lobbies count towards earning those Onyx Medals for your profile too!
• Cooperative Multiplayer Lobbies: We now offer dedicated hosts for Arcade, Horde, and Beast mode at every single Community Night event in the future. We’re also assisting all our cooperative hosts in unlocking as many mutators as possible so you don’t have to.
• Public Multiplayer Lobbies: For those of you simply looking to get into the action online with some new friends, we’ll be running public lobbies throughout each Saturday event.
Community Night 5.2 - Saturday October 8th, 2011
Event Lobbies open at 10pm BST / 5pm EST / 2pm PST
Lobbies usually remain open for 3-5 hours

No I have gold xbox live but when I went to play the thing last weekend it said I had to be logged into windows live. I have a windows live account that I made when I setup my xbl but I forgot the password and the email account I made the account under is no longer active so I couldn't log in.

Hope that helped
