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

talltony6262d ago

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

IdleLeeSiuLung6262d ago (Edited 6262d ago )

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

Dmitry Orlov6262d ago

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

talltony6262d ago (Edited 6262d 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.

JeffGUNZ6262d 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.

ThanatosDMC6261d ago

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

it will not let me download it for some reason. when i try it says failed. "please check your connection". but i am signed in before i go to download it and my connection is fine then.also it downloads all but about 10%. anyone else having the same problem???

CRAIG6676262d 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

Insanium6262d 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.

JeffGUNZ6262d ago

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

Great.

Markh20016262d ago (Edited 6262d 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.

JeffGUNZ6261d 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.

Bumpmapping6262d ago

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

IaMs126262d 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?

Gears of War 2 Remake was in development “10 years ago” but was scrapped by Xbox

Ayi Sanchez: "Old work. I did this 10 years ago now as part of a material test for a remaster of Gears of War 2 that never happened."

RaidenBlack431d ago

lolz,
hope we're still getting Gears 2 & 3 for PC, as per rumors

Cacabunga431d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel431d ago

Wow... just wow Microsoft sigh at it again 😑

Lightning77431d ago

Weird, in mean they had no studios to make anything really new so there's a part of me thats kinda glad they scrapped it. If they released this back then it would of gotten ridiculed for remakes and remastering stuff. Now they have new and interesting games so the collection is harmless.

CrimsonWing69431d ago

Geez, Xbox, something like that I would’ve bought Day 1. Great business decisions over there.

lucasnooker431d ago

10 years ago it wasn’t such a big deal. The games were only a few years old by that point

CrimsonWing69431d ago

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition came out in 2015 (essentially 10 years ago), having a follow-up to that on the then next-gen console would’ve absolutely been welcomed, in my book.

LoveSpuds431d ago

I can only assume the the Gears of War Remaster flopped so they decided to scrap the other remakes?

Seems short sighted to me as I really enjoyed the 1st remaster. Regardless, I'll snap up some remakes to play on my PS5.

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?

KicksnSnares1425d 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)

ChasterMies1424d 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.

Zombieburger6381424d ago

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

darthv721424d 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.

Jericho13371424d 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.

Om4ever1424d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad1424d 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.

LoveSpuds1424d 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...

Neonridr1558d 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.

ChasterMies1558d 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.

Knightofelemia1559d 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.

monkey6021558d 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.

lucian2291558d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares1559d 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

RetroCaptainSteve1558d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares1558d 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.

Profchaos1558d 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

Viljong1558d ago (Edited 1558d ago )

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

myfathersbastard1558d 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
