Gears of War 2 Title Update 3, Now Live


Those of you eagerly awaiting the next Gears of War 2 update should now be able to boot up the game and get it. This update adds the Snowblind achievements, fixes exploits, and includes a completely new multiplayer experience system.

Quote:
Adds 100 levels of player experience that you can gain based on your score in Public matches. The game still uses Trueskill for matchmaking to find the most competitive matches, but the skill rank is now hidden. The new level of experience appears next to your gamertag, with levels 1 through 99 displayed as numbers and level 100 displayed as an icon. The game normalizes experience based on match type so that players earn an equivalent amount of experience across all modes.
Who's heading back to war until the other bugs are found?

Full patch notes here: http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/sho...d.php?t=667510

Specifically noted for greatness:
-Reduces stun duration of smoke grenades.
-An issue that caused chainsaw interruption when a player is shot to be less reliable in some body positions than in others.
-Shield glitch fixed
-Adds bots automatically to a Public Match if players quit and cause unbalanced teams.
-Adds region preference to matchmaking.

Is this the patch that adds the fun?

Just kidding.
