After the latest update I find that the load/connecting times for multiplayer have not improved any.

Well for those of you who did not get the collectors edition of Gears of War 2 and want the gold plated lancer. You now can.

Its solid and what I was expecting after Gears of War but leaves a little to be desired from a big story lover like me. I play it because its fun and simple; point the noise machine at the ugly and make it go dead just like all the other space armour war games out there. Reason why I like Gears over, lets say Halo, is I'm a total third person action whore.

I wish they would stop killing my favorite character though. Carmine 2 almost dies twice. Seriously EPIC, cut it out.

Over at the official Gears of War forums a member known as OrtanaIV has gathered all the posts from Epic developers Rod Fergusson and Joe Graf over the past month that mention any changes or updates they have planned for Gears of War 2. While they don’t come out and say it, it all sounds like fixes and/or updates for Title Update 3. If you’ve tried playing Gears of War 2 online lately then you’d know just how important this update really is. Updates include:

* Fixing chainsaw invincibility glitch
* Shorter duration for smoke grenade downing (standardized to two seconds)
* New leveling system that’s experience-based rather than TrueSkill
* Five new achievements tied to the updated leveling system
* Only the host of a match will lose experience if they quit a game early
* Most recent shotgun shield glitch fixed
* Country preferences available
* Bots on Insane difficulty would replace players who drop out of matches
* Meatflag would no longer glitch off the maps
* Sniper rifle hit detection would be tweaked
* Two-piecing (consecutive double melee attacks) has already been tweaked on the server side and could see more changes
* New playlist options
* More fixes to address cheating

Again, this is just speculation. But it’s a safe bet to assume that we’ll see at least a few of those updates in the eventual release of Title Update 3.
