Awesome! I've already played several hours today and love that they're doing this again. This is the 3rd Double XP weekend since launch, and I missed out on the first one. Hopefully I can hit level 20 with all my classes by Sunday night.

It's a wonderful surprise. I'm planning to at least level up to unlock the power boost upgrades for Drain and the Soldier weapons.

Man I've just been playing nasty this Friday... Got two 10+ Kill streaks in one Conquest match and leveled up my Scout to 25 in the process. I'm pretty sure the Host got pissed off I kept sniping his head off because he quit two minutes in the next match.

Well shoot! This is just not right, now they do it a third time to me. Here I am watching my brother this whole weekend. Well at least I finally got my PS3 back Wednesday so now I can finally play it almost 2 months later. Anyway I have a question now that I should be able to maybe finally play the game at long last. What is xp for, how do you get them, and is this basically for ranking? Remember I am just now getting to play this game since I bought it when it came out and I've only been able to play the Decepticon campaign due to console problems.

Also, I acquired Jazz when I pre-ordered from Best Buy do I get to play as him once I get to the Autobot campaign or is he online only?

First, XP is experience points, and you get them from kills and achieving goals/objectives. As you gain XP, your character will level up and you'll unlock special skills.

As for Jazz, if you have the code handy, you need to go to www.transformersgame.com and click on the redemption tab and complete the form. All the preorder characters are also available with DLC now too.

On a side note, the double XP weekend caught me off guard - signed on last night and was pleasantly surprised when my first kill netted me 100XP...

Thanks craggy! "Lame song"?! That is my personal theme! lol

The PC version gets the double XP as well. I just wish we had DLC too.

Does anyone else have issues with being constantly forced to Host games when there are plenty of spots available in current games? I've been looking for a spot in a game for close to 40 minutes now and continuously forced to host. It's really flippin annoying.

Sun Aug 15, 2010 5:20 pm

Yeah, seriously. They need to work on the hosting and balancing. I played a game that had four players. Three Autobots, one Decepticon. I felt so bad for the Decepticon I quit so that there would only be two Autobots against him. Games are just so much more fun when there's a ton of players.

Sun Aug 15, 2010 9:09 pm

So that was for real. I kept thinking they never turned off the message from last time..lol. It's helped level up my Scout so far too. I've finally finished off my Level 25 Scientist. So working on the Scout who's only up to level 11 but started at level 5.

One weird game I played on Conquest seemed like both sides were in on trying to get the most XP possible. Both sides just kept moving as one cohesive unit to each conquest node and capture then move on to the next. It was a pretty full game of players too so I don't know if that was planned or just worked out that way but it was kinda funny to watch. Hardly any kills at all the whole time as well.

If you quit matches alot due to bad connection or you mad you losing the server makes you host. Quit the party lobby select multiplayer again and the sever will search for a game you can join instead of forcing you to host.

Yeah, this was a nice surprise. Still didn't and couldn't have too much time to play but much better than last time. My Scout is 25. Long time ignored Leader class from 10 to 14. Then ignore him again and work on Scientist to 21 now.

The connection should be good. It's fine on my laptop. I've actually had "Connection Timed Out" issues in the middle of matches while I was playing. When I quit to the main screen and come back, it would do the same thing. It registers all the players online and the lists in the individual types, and then suddenly all those lists go to 0 for some reason. That's when I am forced to host. I leave to main and return repeatedly with the same results: first time the list appears, the correct numbers are there; then I am forced to host a game by the server, go back to party lobby, and there is no one in the lists. Zeroes accross the board.

Thanks for the info.

On Jazz I already did the code through that site and downloaded him I just want to know how do I play as him, what mode do I have to be in to use him?

Mon Aug 16, 2010 4:47 pm

If I remember correctly, Jazz is under the Scout class as a chassis to choose for Autobots. But I'm at work and not 100 percent on that since I know Arcee is a Scout class chassis as well.
