Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 8:58 am
Over on the official Epic forums, Epic’s Mark Rein detailed exactly what the Gears 2 patch will fix and the enhancements that’ll be made once the patch is released. And from what we can tell, the patch should resolve most (if not all) the Gears 2 exploits we’ve heard about including that dreadful melee through the wall exploit. Oh, we should also mention that the patch will bring some new Gears 2 achievements based on the DLC. How ’bout them apples?
