First update for Gears of War 2 is out. It will download automatically as soon as you'll start Gears of War 2 while logged on on LIVE. Rod Fergusson posted some details on the update in the announcement on the game's official forum:

Here's what's in today's title update:


  • Adjustments to make Public matchmaking faster, especially in the single player party and the four player party case. Some of these adjustments should be felt immediately and some will play out over several days as our update enables us to reduce player segmentation by reducing the number of servers required to do matchmaking. This will increase the number of possible matches available for you to join.
  • A tweak that should prevent us from losing some of our additional detailed stats data that we gather for gearsofwar.com. Due to the large number of concurrent matches, our stats gathering servers were not able to collect data for every single match played. The Xbox LIVE leaderboards are 100% accurate but our existing stats web pages may have some missing data prior to the update.
  • A fix to address the issue where some players were unable to start the story-based campaign if Xbox LIVE was down or unavailable.

The next official thing for UT3 that will be released is probably the expansion.

For now in GOW2 I want the Lancer to be balanced a little. Good update nonetheless.

now that i have finally played it online i think there's something wrong with the shotgun as well. or maybe it's something else like the shots not being registered or something. but it's kind of frustrating when you're shooting someone but they just keep running towards you like nothing ever happened and then chainsaw you :(
