Gears of War Update Adds New Game Mode
In an update released today, a new game mode was added to Gears of War. Here’s the deal:
In Annex, gamers seize victory by keeping control over key map locations, or objectives, long enough to collect a winning number of points. Every map contains two to five identified objectives available for capture, with one objective active at a time. Objectives are based on map weapon-spawn locations and have a potential value of 60 points toward either team’s score. Teams collect those points by maintaining ownership of an objective until all 60 points have been distributed. Every second that a team controls an objective, the team gets one point. When an objective falls to zero points, the next objective is selected at random.
Besides adding the new game mode, the update also added VGA cable support; enhanced the kill message ticker; adjusted assassination multiplayer, Boomshot, Hammer of Dawn and Roadie Run; and addressed general issues.
