Gears of War 2 Title Update Coming Soon

January 08, 2009 in News comments 7

People complained and E.P.I.C. listened. The glitches and exploits for Gears of War 2 are getting a TU to patch them. This means no more invisible shields, more protection against spawn camping, the ability to use the tac/com to see the ring in Submission and much more.

There is also news of new achievements coming out with DLC. The update is said to be coming this month, but is still subject to change. More information after the link.

As I mentioned before the break we've been working on a major title update for Gears of War 2. This update will address bugs and exploits as well as add some new achievements related to downloadable content. We don't have an exact date for it but all indicators are it will go live within January. If that changes we'll let you know.

We're fixing a whole bunch of online exploits. For example we've fixed the ability to wield an invisible shield, melee through some walls, gain infinite Lancer ammo and equip a shield and a two-handed weapon simultaneously plus many more.

We're also making several small changes to improve the overall online gameplay experience. A few of the ones that might interest you are; increased penalties for quitting matches early, adding additional spawn protection against planted grenades and chainsaw attacks, and adding the ability to see the Submission flag carrier destination by using Tac/Com.

    A little patience goes a long way. Let's hope that the dragged-out complainers are satisfied.

    All excellent, particularly the bolded part!

    Unless nade tagging walls is taken out, the game still has a huge flaw. Smoke stunning is ridiculous as well.

    I can't believe Epic gave us this shit without testing it first themselves. I mean, seriously, there has been far too much to deal with as gamers when it comes to this title.

      That is rather glitchy, but it's part of the new features of the game. Unless they set up a server system where the host can choose settings such as no grenade tags on walls...you'll likely not get that wish.

      If you read the post you'd realise that tagging through walls is being fixed

      "We're fixing a whole bunch of online exploits. For example we've fixed the ability to wield an invisible shield, melee through some walls, gain infinite Lancer ammo and equip a shield and a two-handed weapon simultaneously plus many more."

      And seriously, don't insult EPIC, because NO GAME can be released perfectly without glitches ; ; at least their fixing the glitches when some companies just leave them.

        Epic was lazy with Gears 2 so they deserve to get ragged on.

        To be honest I dont know why they changed the game so drastically anyways. Its not like Gears of War got poor ratings and many complaints from the gamers playing it.

        Epic tried to make Gears 2 more "Team-Oriented" and failed miserably.

          The game was supposed to be team oriented in the first place anyway.
