As well as the new multiplayer mode Annex, Gears of War will be getting a few other substantial fixes and adjustments. To begin, potential exploits found in multiplayer were addressed and corrected. The Assassination multiplayer gametype will no longer force the leader to unlock weapons and now must be executed to die. The Boomshot’s splash damage will be more effective in rendering targets down-but-not-out. The Hammer of Dawn’s aiming will now inflict less damage to moving targets. Roadie Run will be adjusted to reduce the frequency of accidentally grabbing cover while running. The Kill Message Ticker can now be seen while down-but-not-out in addition to spectating. And finally, VGA cable support will be properly adjusted.
The Gears of War Update is coming today, April 9th, at 7:00 PM EST.
