Loved playing this on insane again. Great in co-op.

It's crazy the amount which was cut from chapter 5 for the original release. It fleshes out the story much more and the encounters are great.

Overall I think this game is still a classic. Great gameplay, atnosphere, set pieces and story.

I'll be playing 2 and 3 again soon. Wish they give them the remaster treatment too.

Does anybody know how to find out what chapters you have played co op on? I didn't get the achievement when I thought I had played every chapter with another player online. But I don't want to go through the entire campaign again if I don't need to!

I think another gaffer in a previous page of this OT had the same problem... I don't think there is any way to tell, sorry.

It was probably me. I just asked the question again rather than quote myself haha. My bad.

No worries I'll have to go through it with my mate or something :)

Loading/download time sped up and I finally have Gears on my Xbox One. I'll get a physical copy to add to the collection when it's cheaper.

I jumped into single player to get ahold of the controls but ended up playing co-op with a random. Good damn the memories flooded back. When into multiplayer after a little bit of single player and I got a long way to git gud again. I'll never reach my peak skill level from 2007 though. Kind of wish they kept just the original maps from the first one instead of adding a few from GoW2 and 3 but they picked some of the good ones like Fuel Depot.

Fuel Depot was always in the original?

It was remade/re-released for Gears 2 if I remember right.

New title update fixes the Gnasher and the Annex achievements.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Title Update 9/23/2015

General improvements to the consistency of the Gnasher.
- Gnasher pellets now always shoot in a consistent pattern.
- Removed “Idle State” from MP which could cause shooting trajectory to be more random.
- Fixed a bug where some Gnasher shots were reporting as headshots incorrectly
The Coalition Commentary: “We wanted to improve the Gnasher by focusing on producing a consistent shot, so players can better predict and estimate the damage they are doing to opponents. We’ve done this by changing the Gnasher from a randomized pellet spread to the same shape spread. This will help reduce occurrences where you do less or more damage than expected, and also help players calculate their damage expectations during gunfights more accurately and consistently.
Additionally, we’ve also removed the “Idle State” from Multiplayer, which could result in your first shot landing off center if you hadn’t aimed or fired your weapon after a small period of time"
THIS! IS! ANNEX! and Nub Pwn3r Achievements can now be earned in any ring based game mode such as King of the Hill, Blitz, and Annex
THIS! IS! ANNEX! – Complete 100 matches in ring-based game types on Xbox Live and capture 3 objectives in each match.
NUB PWN3R – Win 20 rounds in ring-based game types on Xbox Live by shutting out the opposing team
Achievement descriptions have been updated to reflect these new unlock conditions.
The Coalition Commentary: “We heard our fans loud and clear to spread these achievements across all ring game types – and we’ve also modified the achievement to work in one round scenarios which is how most of our ring types are available in public. For players looking to get some more playing time with others in on Annex, we’re currently looking at potential ways to incorporate Annex in future playlists or community events.”
Improvements to player spawn locations for Blitz and King of the Hill on the following maps:
- War Machine
- Old Bones
- Gridlock
- Process
The Coalition Commentary: “We’ve made further improvements to Blitz and King of the Hill spawns based on the feedback from the community as well as our ESL Pre-Season cup series. We’ve adjusted some of the spawn locations on the four maps listed to provide a more competitive, fair experience – such as removing the front door spawn when the frags are the active hill on Mansion, or the top-side spawn on War Machine.”
Fixes for invisible collision on some Multiplayer maps including:
- Mansion: Area around Boomshot
- Clocktower: Debris at top middle of map
The Coalition Commentary: “The two Mansion changes were made to restore some of the legacy Lancer angles around Boomshot, allowing for more variety in the way teams can challenge and pressure teams for power weapon control. The Clocktower fix also restores some angles in the top side over the debris that were previously available in Gears of War 1”.
Reduced flinching (camera shake) when taking damage in Multiplayer to be consistent with Gears 1
Changed Re-Up system to retain unlocked characters when “re-upping” (Player Level in Multiplayer)
Spectator Mode now displays match score in the HUD
Audio improvements for footstep and movement sounds behind the player
Improvements to server stability
Fixed a crash when muting players with a spectator in the game
Fixed a bug where dead bodies could sometimes cause players to roll instead of move into cover
General bug fixes and improvements

Could've sworn it was a Gears 2 map but you're right it was on Gears 1.

Rooftops remains the worst map though IMO.

Did anyone else get a 4.7 gb update today?

Yep, downloading now. This is my first next gen console (I have a Wii U if that counts) but I'm not used to installing games. Starting to regret not getting the 1 TB Xbox One. Gears alone is taking 45 GBs or so and I'm downloading free Tomb Raider with XBL Gold and that's about 15-20 GB (which I'll uninstall after I play it).

NO more random gnasher shots. hoo-fucking-ray! an actual predictable pattern. ive never understood adding random patterns to guns that already suffer from lag. fingers crossed

slow as hell downloads on xbone though, im on fibre and its taking forever. 4.7gb for balance patching....how the hell does that work?

Gnasher impressions after the update: The shots are a lot more consistent from hip fire, and I don't have to shoot multiple times at a DBNO enemy. Im digging it so far

Gnasher feels a lot better. Also Blind fire actually works now. Before every shot would hit the cover I'm on, but now I can take people out no problem

Tried it last night. Saw a guy lagging, and saw people leave much more often than I ever have. Guessing it's because of the update going live last night.

Still, was incredible fun and Gears is Gears. The Gnasher didn't feel incredibly different, but was more consistent in certain spots. I like it. I feared they'd take away the Gears 1 feeling, but I'm happy they didn't.

Gnasher feels less random so it seems to have been fixed.

The thing that wasn't fixed was that I'm rusty as fuck now. And also that the only people still playing are fucking savages. Goddamn.

Does anyone regularly lag in this game? I played last night for the first time and in every game I'd lag at least a little. My buddy I was playing with was lagging nonstop and had to get off after a while. I haven't played in weeks, but it was fine for me the week the game was released.

It's probably because the update/patch tha was 4.7GB just got pushed out last night. I know some people had issues with dropping their connections and then I know some people were playing with the patch and some without it at the same time. I imagine over the weekend and by next weekend it should smooth back out.

Some of the mechanics of this game are so damn frustrating. Melee somebody and then shotgun them and the bullets all go through them and they proceed to oneshot you. Or when you down somebody and the first several shots don't register when you try to kill them.

Noticed one more thing they've fixed, gnasher now gibs if it clips through your opponent, before the patch it would just do some damage or no damage at all.
