Gears of War - Updates Achievements and Controls

by

The Princess Bride, go watch it At 2a.m. this morning, Gears of War received two updates. One included 8 brand new achievements, with Epic continuing the trend of having some pretty amusing titles for them, more on that in a bit.

The second part to the update included some tweaks to the controls and other little gameplay fixes: Improved Roadie Run to reduce getting snagged on cover,Tweaked up the amount of damage done by the Lancer Assault Rifle in multiplayer, Fixed split-screen players interrupting the other player’s actions when they die, Stopped Annex scoring whenever a “Connection Error” dialog box is displayed, Reduced the duration that corpses remain visible when hosting an Annex match, Reduced the range of possible Annex bleed-out times selectable by host, Addressed a number of multiplayer exploits.

Some of the new achievement names include “THIS! IS! ANNEX!” (re-read that in the 300 voice), “Inconceivable!,” “Nub Pwn3r,” and “Purdy Mouth,” to check out the details on those achievements along with the other new ones, as well as how they are had, and even help getting them, see one of my favorite sites, Achieve360Points.com.
