Krazie Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 No details available on what exactly the game mode entails, but its said to be the favorite game mode of the people who have tested it out. It'll be included in a FREE update released soon. Rumors are that it is some sort of territory-based mode --------------------------------------------- Epic Games has announced that a title update is coming soon as it is going through the certification process. A post in the official Gears of War forums revealed that the update will include a brand new multiplayer gametype: The next title update for Gears of War is currently going through the certification process. We'll have more detail about the update next week but I can tell you that in addition to fixing a whole bunch of glitches, and providing 720p for VGA users running at 1280x1024, it will contain a brand new multiplayer gametype called Annex. Some folks who got to play it a few weeks ago said they think it is our best multiplayer gametype yet but I'll leave it for you fans to decide what you think for yourself when it shows up soon on Xbox Live. More details next week. As to what to expect from this new multiplayer game type, its name suggests it could be a territory based game mode. Epic clarified it will be free. ------------------------------------- Source: http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13145/Gears-of-War-New-Update-and-Versus-Game-Type-Coming/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoJ Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Heard about this on a GoW fan site, I wonder how a territory game mode would work without respawning, I think it's going to be an objective mode like Counter-Strike's Demolition maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzbang6 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I may have to get stuck into this game i have not been playing it much, this new mode should be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 How hard is it going to be to run right round the edge of the map and defuse a bomb in like 10-20 seconds before the other team have chance to get over there? Still nothing about being able to play with people you want to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3giOn Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 A new game mode would be cool but they better address the real issues and fix EVERY cheating glitch, and give us some sort of matchmaking system. Epic can throw all the free shit they want at us but I'll never be happy until these issues are resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I heard this same patch with finally allow achievements in Player Matches as well, though I can't find any print to confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F089H Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Okay so I had a patch when live came back up..(Tuesday) And I had another one on Friday.. and then one this morning...What the Hell..wheres my achievements in Player Matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 The patch isn't released yet, that'll just be a patch from game to game. I have to download a patch if I go from crackdown to RB6 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic can throw all the free shit they want at us but I'll never be happy until these issues are resolved. +1. The amount of glitching that goes on now! I always play with at least 2 mates on ranked, being on the same team. If the other team weapon slide - we do and thats about as far as it goes. We like basically refuse to glitch other than weapon slide if the other team does it, may aswell fight back than let them have an unfair advantage. The only time I glitch now (i.e. get out of the maps) is when its 7 of my school mates in a doss around match. I'm guessing that the Long Jump/Instant chainsaw glitch will be fixed (Webb edit: We don't tell people the glitches ) along with the under fuel depo. Wonder if they will do what the dev. team for CoD2 did, if you stand in an area you're not ment to be you die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webb Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Glitching because someone else is, is IMO just as bad. It's that "can't beat them, join them" attitude which is why the gamerscore leaderboard is topped by gamesavers! Regarding the new game type = M'eh.... Bothered!

Shaaady Souljah Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 ANNEX: 1 : to attach as a quality, consequence, or condition 2 archaic : to join together materially : UNITE 3 : to add to something earlier, larger, or more important 4 : to incorporate (a country or other territory) within the domain of a state 5 : to obtain or take for oneself Sounds like a King of the Hill or Territory gametype to me... And, there would have to be respawns incorporated, of course. I also agree with the idea of if you go somewhere that you are not supposed to be, it either kills you or boots you from the game. That would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great. I think just killing them would be fine. Booting them might be a little harsh since falling below the map on Fuel Depot happens by accident a lot.

My thoughts exactly, why stoop to their low level? If it gets to a point that we're losing strictly because the other team is cheating, I simply end the game, file complaints, and start a new one.

PhotoJ Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I wish people would stop asking for achievements in player matches (they just want seriously... achievement), that achievement is kind of like a legit trophy for the people who already have it- it shouldn't lose its significance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great.It should have respawns. That will make it a whole lot better for territory. I mean if there weren't any spawns in territory the real objective would be to just kill the other team. Nothing different from the modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
