Wordt weer tijd voor een Double exp weekend of week!

Wouter2006 is er weer eentje in zicht al?

er is nog niks over bekend, waarschijnlijk het halloweenweekend,
dat is eind oktober geloof ik.
Het idee is dan alleen butchers iedere 10e wave.

Maar denk ook wel dat er 7 november iets speciaals komt, omdat dat
de 1e verjaardag is van Gow2.

Het is even afwachten, maar ik hou het gears forum in de gaten

Eindelijk een nieuwe TU (Title Update), de 5e alweer :S


Default OFFICIAL: TU5 is on it's way soon.
Hey all,

As I'm sure most of you are aware, there's been a rash of cheating going on and it looks like it's due to a security vulnerability that was introduced in the previous title update. We've fixed the problem and are working hard to get the latest title update with the fix tested and certified.

Beyond the hacking fix, there will also be some other awesome improvements and fixes in TU5. As an example, we've fixed "sticky walk", we've fixed the Subway exploit and we've added the ability to see friendly planted grenades in Tac/Com.

I'm sorry for those of you that have been affected by cheaters and we'll be doing everything we can to rectify it.

Thanks,

Rod.

Hey all,

TU5 has passed certification and we're now just waiting to hear when it will go live! It may be as early as 5 AM EST on Friday (Oct 23) or as late as 5 AM EST on Monday (Oct 26). Once TU5 has rolled out and fixed our security issue then the leaderboard cleanups will begin.

Here are the official release notes -

Gears of War 2 Title Update 5 Detailed Release Notes

The following fixes and improvements are included in Title Update 5.

Improvements


Title Update 5 makes these new improvements:

* Adds the ability to view friendly-planted grenades in Tac/Com.
* Removes the cringe caused when a smoke grenade forces a player to drop a meatshield.
* Adds bonus points to the winning leader's score in the Guardian game mode if the leader successfully survives the winning round.
* Changes the postmatch Invite button to only invite former teammates, so a player can create parties more easily instead of trying to create a Private Match that includes both teams from the former match.
* Returns the roadie-run camera movements to the way they were in Gears of War 1 by decreasing the dampening values.

Exploit Fixes


Title Update 5 fixes these possible exploits, where under certain circumstances:

* A player could modify the game's behavior due to a security vulnerability introduced in an earlier title update.
* A player could use a turbo controller to artificially maximize their rate of fire.
* A player could mantle a planted shield in competitive multiplayer to hide inside geometry or to travel outside of the map. The ability to mantle shields was removed in competitive multiplayer but remains in Horde and Campaign.

Title Update 5 also fixes a number of other, lesser-known exploits.

General Fixes


Title Update 5 fixes these other issues as well:

* An issue that contributed to the "sticky walk" problem, where a player's avatar could stutter after the player picks up a weapon.
* An issue that could prevent players from hearing the "boom" telegraph from Boomers.
* An issue that could cause looping audio to continue playing after the player who triggered that sound is killed.
* An issue that could cause multiple names to be highlighted yellow on the scoreboard instead of the name of the player viewing the scoreboard.
* An issue that prevented the game from granting the earned experience points from the fiftieth wave of Horde.
* An issue that caused players at level 100 to see the "congratulations" message after every match.

Title Update 5 also made additional small bug fixes.

Thanks,

Rod.

Hey all,

To celebrate Halloween and the release of Title Update 5, we figured it was time for another double XP event weekend.

Of course that means starting on the morning of Oct 30th you will recieve double XP in competitive multiplayer and Horde as well as a team winning bonus.

Beyond that though we wanted to mess with the waves in Horde to try and make it appropriately "scary" for Halloween. So while Butchers seemed on target for the theme, they didn't provide enough umph to make it scary. So we thought, what if any of the many Boomers could attack on any wave and when possible, a full Boomer squad consisting of Grinders, Butchers, Flame Boomers and regular Boomshot Boomers could appear and attack all at once. And of course waves 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 would be nothing but wave after wave of Boomers. Sounds scary and fun to me!

For those of you scoring from home, you may notice that I didn't mention the Maulers (aka the Boomers with exploding flail and shield). That's because for this event we're pulling them out. We figured what is the fun of having a massive Boomer onslaught when you can just plant a shield to block them off. So unless the shield is part of the map, you're on your own!

Have fun and I'll see you online!

Thanks,

Rod.

w00h00, 10 dagen Triple EXP beginnend vandaag,

Hey all,

To celebrate the first anniversary of Gears 2, we've decided to have some fun by having a special event where you get to play in a different kind of way. During the development of Gears 2, we were really interested in seeing if we could push the game to be more tactical (at least how we define it). A big part of this was increased weapon damage and reduced ammo counts along with a bunch of other more subtle tweaks (like increasing DBNO health so that revives were still possible). Anyway, the more we played it and enjoyed it, the more we worried that we would upset too many fans of Gears 1 by moving so far away from the wall bouncing, shotgunning fragfests they enjoyed so much. So we tabled it - until now. Here's your chance to see how Gears 2 multiplayer might have been and to let us know what you think of it.

And of course, we'll make it all worth your while. During this extended event you'll be receiving triple XP (yes, I said triple, even in Horde) and we've separated the playlists by individual game types so you can play exactly what you want, when you want. And if the wait times aren't too bad, we'll keep them that way after the event as well.

So to sum up:

* Nine day event starting morning of Nov 6th
* Play in "tactical" mode across all MP gametypes including Horde
* Triple XP
* Public Horde difficulty bumped to Hardcore
* Playlists have individual gametypes


Thanks and see you online.

Rod.

en dan te bedenken dat bij rank 81 je pas op de helft zit

De mp werkt niet meer bij mij

Nieuw event:

We're planning a 12 days of Xmas event. Each day of the event we will do one special thing for that day only. Please post your suggestions on what you would like to see each day. Bonus points if your idea somehow ties into the song.

Ik vond Horde echt heel tof maar de rest van de MP niet.
