Gears of War 2 Third Title Update released

The much anticipated Title Update 3 is out of certification and is going live on March 24th at 2 AM PST/5 AM EST. Please remeber it takes awhile for the update to propagate so it may take up to several hours after that time before it's available locally. Also, if you start getting matchmaking connection issues, it means others have the update and you don't, so please exit the game and fire it up again in order to download the update. Also please note that some of the new achievements require the next map pack "Snowblind" which will be released next week.

the lag in the game right now is horrible, probably cuz everyone is downloading the path or something

talltony5527d ago

had its chance! I will not atempt to play this crap again!

IdleLeeSiuLung5527d ago (Edited 5527d ago )

Looks like a great update with many improvements. Looking forward to it! Glad Epic is still vigorously supporting this game.

Dmitry Orlov5527d ago

seems like you didn't even play the game or own a 360.
back in your cave, troll!

talltony5527d ago (Edited 5527d ago )

PSN ID AND GAMERTAG is TALLTONY now eat it! GEARS 2 is the most Glitchiest online game ever made and its not just my opinion. ANd check ur inbox!

EDIT: I checked ur gamertag and the funny thing is that I have more gears 2 achievments than you.

JeffGUNZ5527d ago

By removing the melee and shooting and chainsawing from sprinting or rolling has made this game awful. They removed CQC, why would they want to do that? When you're playing annex it's almost impossible to overtake the circle now, unless you have a boom shot. This game is so silly.

ThanatosDMC5527d ago

I wonder why they dont call it patches... oh well, whatever.

CRAIG6675527d ago

but of a diffrent variety,everytime i start a match im on my own!? and yes i have the new patch and it downloaded without issue,im in the UK.
I shall try matchmaking again soon to see if anything ahs changed

Insanium5527d ago

What's this? Something that may cause me to fire up my 360 for the first time in months? Well played Epic, well played.

JeffGUNZ5527d ago

All this update did was add a number next to my name and make it harder to kill someone with the shotgun.

Great.

Markh20015527d ago (Edited 5527d ago )

yer i totallyt agree with you i had problems downloading it at first kept asking me to do an xbox live test, which i know is fine but eventually managed to download it, im happy with the rank system but pissed off with the amount of lag on it, and how u cant use 2 piecing anymore, well done epic for yet another failed update.

JeffGUNZ5526d ago

Yeah man, it's so fake now. It just doesn't make sense that someone can rush into battle and then stop and stand there for 2 seconds before they can do anything. Annex is basically ruined now that you have to basically crawl to the circle or shot a boomshoot in the circle. They should have left the game it was and just fixed the connection from Gears 1 to Gears 2. That's all. Now, they ruined it.

Bumpmapping5527d ago

Game is trash.How many updates already and it's still laggy and glitchy as hell?!Epic just stick with UT series!

IaMs125527d ago

at least they are supporting it. The game was released 5 months ago, it hasnt been that long to me, some games out there arent getting any support at all and have been out longer. its better then nothing right?

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

KicksnSnares690d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies689d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638689d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72690d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337690d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever689d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad690d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds690d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr823d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies823d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia824d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602823d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229823d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares824d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve824d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares824d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos823d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard823d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

Atom6661166d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1166d ago (Edited 1166d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
