Mark Rein Announces the Gears 2 Patch

Those are some bigger, better, and more bad-ass exploits that we have been seeing in Gears of War 2. I cannot in good conscience call this a title update. This is a P A T C H patch .

Quote:
...We don’t have an exact date for it but all indicators are it will go live within January...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....
...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.
Apparently, this is "just a tiny sliver" of the issues addressed in the update. There will also be new achievements, too! Interesting that it is Mark Rein and not their Community Manager, Six Okay, that makes this announcement. To me, Epic is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Best art on the planet though.

I LOVE those toothy, horn-ed wrestlers! And remember, let's be nice out there, eh?

You had to know you would get flack for this statement. I disagree though as well. Too many other games out there with better art direction, character models, and engines.

....we’re adding achievement progress numbers to the War Journal
I would of liked this had I not already completed 45 of the 50 achievements, but it's a much needed addition to go along with the bug fixes. However, when I played 1v1 when friends were over it was fun to pick up the shield and shotgun once and make them go: WTF???

About fucking time EPIC!! Most of my friends have moved on from that bug fest of a game and I doubt they'll see a major uptake in people coming back..even with the patch.

Wow, the dude makes an opinion and he gets flamed. WTF?!? I, too, believe that Epic has some of the best artwork in the business. If you don't agree with that, you don't need to be a sarcastic troll.

When is the patch that makes the storyline make sense coming out? I mean really? I go to the hive to stop the locusts from sinking Jacinto, get there and decide to sink Jacinto myself which causes the locusts to decide to try and stop me from sinking Jacinto. WHAT IN THE HELL

Haha what? So they have a terrible style that somehow still produces good art? What is it that you enjoy, their really high texture resolutions, or perhaps their amazingly semen-like specular maps?

Terrible is nothing more than your opinion but still, you almost got it! Maybe you don't like space marines in gritty post-apocalyptic worlds and prefer androgynous cell shaded knights in candy kingdom but it doesn't change the fact that Epic art assets are exceptionally well crafted.

Much like the fact that some people think Blues is repetitive, formulaic and for rednecks doesn't make Stevie Ray Vaughan a bad musician.
