Epic Releases Details on Latest Gears of War 2 Update

 
Even though the Dark Corners map pack is going to be released on July 28th, it doesn't mean that Epic is just sitting around doing nothing; they are hard at work on an update to improve Gears of War 2. Title Update 4 doesn't have a release date yet, as it still hasn't passed certification, but we can all assume that the update will come out before the Dark Corners release. There is a laundry list of items that Executive Producer Rod Fergusson addressed in a post on the forums at Epic Games. Mainly, the update focuses on adding multiplayer experience in Horde mode, fixing exploits such as being able to use the flame thrower while mantling or evading, and general bug fixes to the multiplayer elements. Check out the full list after the jump. (link)
