Gears of War Patched
Niiiiice! Details on the newest update.
by Jonathan Miller
January 9, 2007 - A new Gears of War update went live on, um, Live today, addressing a few issues that you chainsaw wielding maniacs have been complaining about. Marc Rein of Epic spelled out the fixes on the record-setting title. All we have to say is, \"Niiiice!\"
We later added, \"Sup, bitches!\"
# Fixed aspect ratio distortion when using VGA cable with 4:3 displays at resolutions higher than 640x480
# Fixed voice issue with new players joining Player Match games in progress
# Players can now get the Achievement for \"Dish Best Served Cold\" when using Troika turret to kill RAAM
# Fixed rare situation where host could loop countdown and never start match
# Fixed rare situation where players could get stuck after chainsawing in multiplayer
# Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance
# Enabled \"Strict\" NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issues
# Optimized server browser queries to return results more quickly and prevent scroll bars from hiding quality of service icons
# Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone
# Removed host name from Ranked match server browser
# Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches
# Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4)
# Increased penalty for quitting a Ranked match to -50 points
# Added additional cheat detection code
# Additional housekeeping updates
And a reminder: new maps will become available at 1 a.m. PST tomorrow so stay up late and be rewarded. We\'ll have our hands-on impressions and HD videos soon after.
