A new patch for Gears of War is now available, offering important gameplay tweaks and new achievements.
The patch should (yet again) address the issue of snagging on walls during the roadie run, along with general "housekeeping issues". Rather poor attempts in that past have been made at trying to fix Marcus Fenix's love for walls when sprinting, only seeming to make it worse. Oh, and while I'm on the subject, can someone please do something about the unfair monster that is the "host shotgun"? Ta.
Anyway. The patch will also offer eight new achievements totalling 250 gamerpoints for people to try and bump up their score with. The achievements focus heavily on the Annex mode and downloadable maps, though, so you'll need to pay out for some extra content before you aim to get them. (Unless you want to wait until September, when the map pack becomes free, but everybody will be playing Halo 3 then anyway...) Exact details of the achievements can be read after the jump, and other than that, that's all the details. Run along!
