    On June 14, you'll have eight new Achievements worth a total of 250 points to shoot for on the “Annex” gametype and the “Hidden Fronts” Multiplayer Map Pack. But that's not all; you can also look forward to new gameplay improvements and hard times for online evil-doers.

    Gamers, Ready Your Weapons. Stop. New Gears of War®
    Multiplayer Achievements Added. Stop.

    End transmission.

    Thursday, June 14, after 9 a.m. GMT (2 a.m. PST), the stakes get even higher as Gears of War releases eight new Achievements for the “Annex” gametype and the “Hidden Fronts” Multiplayer Map Pack on Xbox LIVE®.

    In addition to adding new Achievements, worth a total of 250 points, Gears of War developer Epic has improved the Roadie Run controls so players have greater control of their movement and can better annihilate their pestilent enemies. The title update will also help squash multiplayer exploits and provide general housekeeping.

    For those who have yet to man up and join the battle, the “Annex” gametype is now available for free and the “Hidden Fronts” Multiplayer Map Pack is available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points. All four multiplayer maps will be made available at no cost over Xbox LIVE on Sept. 3, 2007.

    Release Notes

    * New Achievements added! Eight new achievements worth a total of 250 points created for playing Annex and the Hidden Fronts Multiplayer Map Pack
    * Improved Roadie Run to reduce getting snagged on cover
    * Tweaked up the amount of damage done by the Lancer Assault Rifle in multiplayer
    * Fixed split-screen players interrupting the other player’s actions when they die

    No ones cares, dig a hole, lay down and die. No one wants you. Stop spamming to get your post count up, this is your 20th post of nothing but those little "3 word spams."

    I hate it soo much, and the lancer is the most retarded part of the update.. Either make lancer weaker, or keep weapon slide

    Weapon sliding is glitching, and MLG rules for clan matches state you can't cheat. Plus our clan is ranked 12 in the world MLG gears of war ladder, because of the wins off of the old lancer. Now were raping.. I love the new update.
