Title Update 5 thread

[DTS MAN]

Last chance for me...then it goes in the bin.

Hey all,

As I'm sure most of you are aware, there's been a rash of cheating going on and it looks like it's due to a security vulnerability that was introduced in the previous title update. We've fixed the problem and are working hard to get the latest title update with the fix tested and certified.

Beyond the hacking fix, there will also be some other awesome improvements and fixes in TU5. As an example, we've fixed "sticky walk", we've fixed the Subway exploit and we've added the ability to see friendly planted grenades in Tac/Com.

I'm sorry for those of you that have been affected by cheaters and we'll be doing everything we can to rectify it.

Thanks,

Rod.

we've fixed the Subway exploit

Subway Exploit, what the devil's that?
Sounds like an indie/rock band.

As i haven't touched Gears2 since August I may give it a bash after the update and if not happy i'll trade it for a fiver (if im lucky)

Hate it especially subway guardian matches

The thing that really ruins the game is the crippling LAG! Its quite clear that they wont/cant do anything about it so TU5 wont help me one jot. Havent played for months so havent seen any of the "new" cheating. Doesnt surprise me tho.

Shame but Epic really ****** this up. Always GOW3 to look forward to

The whole GoW2 farce has ruined my MP gameplay. I don't play MP games any more, I don't speak to the old crowd any more. It's hardly worth having a Gold sub thesedays.

EPIC have a lot to answer for.

A few of us are playing Fifa 10 mate and I think a few more have their eyes on Modern Warfare 2. Agreed GOW2 was an Epic Fail! Couldn't give one how many updates they launch now it just isn't going to be right.

I think there's a few folks feeling like that Karl, and its a real shame that we all got sooooooooo hyped up for 'The 2nd Coming', and it failed to deliver, and we've all just kind of gone our separate ways now.

What we need is a multiplayer game, where you can play Social and Ranked games, where lag is not really an issue, where you can perhaps play some like 'custom' games when there's enough of us on.......perhaps throw some vehicles in..........a good mix of weapons.........oh, and something that was developed by a company with a proven track record of FPS success..........and lobbies that don't take ages to work would be nice.......and what would be a really sweet feature would be if you could review these custom AVF games after the event, and take some cool pictures and videos of all the carnage and share 'em with your friends.......

Hold on a minute.......all that sounds very familiar

*dons flame suit and hides behind a big wall. It wasn't me. It wasn't me.

Really? REALLY? You actually think that about Halo 3? As much as I love Halo and Bungie, and as much as the lag is less of an issue than on this broken online farce, Halo has a lot to answer for.

I'd probably be a 50 if I lived in America - no joke.

Cheers matey. But, I don't 'do' football (only played FIFA 06 for a badge at 360v ) and CoD MP just bores me after a couple of games.

@TGs

I have thought about breaking out Halo but it leaves me cold after a few games too.

I don't know what it was about GoW but I could play it all night and still want more. I hope the magic comes back with GoW3, but I won't hold my breath and I'll be holding off on buying it until I've had some decent feedback.

Shame that, I thought it was quite funny.


We had some really good gears2 fun with the old crowd a few weeks back, & I had a very enjoyable horde session 2 nights a go with MarkW & Burtx(who!?!).

Don't know what you're all complaining about.

I agree its a good game IMO. Stick to friendly matches = no lag. A rank number & lag is not worth the hassle. Getting a bit fed up of the moaning about the game. If you don't like it sell it & move on.

Mark..

Awesome session on GoW1 last night. May well take Mark's advice and squeeze GoW2 for the last few cheevs then punt it.

was good craic some close games and still unmatched multiplayer fun imo.

 

[virtual22]

Wasn't bad was it Even got a little exciting towards the end with a head to head decider against the self proclaimed master himself, only for him to be gunned down by my superior, although often played down, natural abilities

I thought I'd leg it as not much else could eclipse that in one evening for me

By the way, going back to TU5 for a minute: does it unlock recon armour?
