GOW - Who's Man Enough?

Gears of War Auto Update

Later today, a Gears of War auto update is going to be available. I am not sure of the exact time, but here are some of the details of what the AU contains:

In Annex, gamers seize victory by keeping control over key map locations, or objectives, long enough to collect a winning number of points. Every map contains two to five identified objectives available for capture, with one objective active at a time. Objectives are based on map weapon-spawn locations and have a potential value of 60 points toward either team's score. Teams collect those points by maintaining ownership of an objective until all 60 points have been distributed. Every second that a team controls an objective, the team gets one point. When an objective falls to zero points, the next objective is selected at random.

And while defending their objectives against the onslaught of Xbox LIVE opponents, gamers may notice the following minor adjustments to "Gears of War":

*
VGA Cable Support: Monitor resolution widths greater than or equal to 1280 now render as letterbox. In particular VGA users running at 1280x1024 will now see the game in full 720p (1280x720) resolution in letterboxed form.
* Adjusted Assassination Multiplayer Gametype: Leader no longer has to unlock weapons and now has to be executed to die.
* Adjusted Boomshot: Splash damage to be more effective rendering targets down-but-not-out
* Adjusted Hammer of Dawn: Aiming will be more forgiving of moving targets
* Adjusted Roadie Run: Reduced frequency of accidently grabbing cover while running
* Kill Message Ticker: Ticker can now be seen while down-but-not-out and spectating
* General: Addressed a number of possible exploits in multiplayer

Hit www.gearsofwar.com for further details.

Again: I don’t know the exact time the AU will be released, but I’ll try to post a comment (or get e to do so) when it does go Live.

Edit: Remember, this is a rolling release. That means that it will take a few hours for everyone to get the prompt once we start rolling it out.

Definately :D Great fun best game mode yet (I was just trying it out). Now when you shoot the boomshot at peoples feet it will actually down them rather then do nothing :)

Also a lot of glitches have been fixed - chainsawing yourself, weapon slide I cant do them anymore :(

Sod getting to grips, get online ASAP.

I found my SP skills went up 10 fold after my first MP session of this. I think many people also mentioned the same when the game first came out.
 
Woot! The patch is out :) I see MN doesn't mention anything about achievements being available in player matches? I guess they didn't bother. Damn them.

I'll be up for some hardcore gaming tonight if people are about? First one to go to bed is a lewser :p
