Gears of War 2 - Patch noch im Januar

Wie Mark Rein von Epic Games nun bestätigte, wird das von den Fans bereits sehnlichst erwartete Patch für Gears of War 2 noch im Januar zum Download zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Patch soll eine Vielzahl an Bugs  beheben. Ein Grossteil wird bereits in Online Matches von Spielern genutzt und macht die Partien so teilweise recht unfair. Wie Mark Rein bekannt gab, habe man sich mit dem Patch auch der Shotgun Thematik angenommen.

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.

We know you folks love achievements so on the achievement side we're adding achievement progress numbers to the War Journal, increasing the frequency of in-game Achievement progression notifications and adding some new Achievements for DLC.

About that shotgun...

We fixed the client side hit detection on the shotgun so that in a high-latency (i.e. "laggy") match, the shotgun will be more reliable. We've also fixed another bug whereby shotgun and boomshot rounds could strike the ground when firing From The hip.
