Gears of War Patch Coming Next Monday

mayatsan — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 10:49:29 +0800

Last week, Epic announced that a title update was coming soon as it was going through the certification process. Additionally, they revealed that the update will include a brand new multiplayer gametype called Annex.

Today, an update to the Gears of War web site that was meant to go live next week has revealed that the next title update for the game will arrive next monday. Additionaly, the leak has revealed what Annex is all about.

The update will fix a bunch of glitches, including 720p for VGA users running at 1280x1024, and it will also fix some issues found in Assassination:

* Before the update, the Assassination leader had to unlock map-spawned weapons by picking them up and dropping them. Now, all weapons are available to all players from the beginning.
* Before the update, you could kill a leader in Assassination using the same rules as in Warzone. Now, you kill leaders as in Execution.

Below is the information regarding the new game type:

Annex

Objective: Capture and hold key locations to collect enough points to win the round.

Description: In Annex, you win by keeping control over key map locations, or objectives, long enough to collect a winning number of points. Every map has 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 its 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.

On the HUD, the current objective appears below the team scores at top left. This indicator contains several pieces of relevant information. The weapon icon inside the circle indicates which weapon-spawn location is being used as the objective. The compass along the outer edge of the circle shows the relative direction to the objective. The number inside the circle indicates how many points remain at that objective and the background icon color indicates which team currently controls it. No color means the objective awaits capture, a red icon means the Locust Horde hold the objective and a blue icon means the COG hold it. When the icon in the indicator circle fills, the corresponding team's score also changes color, the team begins collecting points from the objective, and the point value of the objective drops.

On the map, a projected ring marks the physical location and boundaries of the objective in the world. The ring's color indicates the current captor: White means neutral, blue COG, and red Locust. To capture an objective, players must stand inside the glowing ring uncontested for a short period of time. How long depends on how many teammates stand in the ring at once. One player can capture an objective in eight seconds, two players in four seconds, three players in two seconds, and four players in one second. Once a team takes an objective, they are not required to remain inside the ring to maintain ownership. The captured objective's points drain until an opposing team member enters the ring, or until its points fall to zero.

Round scores can be set as low as 120 points or as high as 480 points. The first team to reach the target score wins the round.

Respawns: Infinite, wave-based every 15 seconds.

Options:

* Selected Map: Which map or series of maps to use.
* Number of Rounds: Number of rounds required to win the match.
* Bleed-out Duration: Amount of time before a player dies while DBNO.
* Round Score: Number of points required to win a round.
* Friendly Fire: In a player match, whether teammates can damage each other.
* Private Slots: In a player match, number of player slots reserved for friend invites.
* Weapons Swapped: In a player match, whether the person who sets up the match can determine whether weapons that appear in the maps are replaced or removed.

Updates:

* Annex became available as a Gears of War multiplayer game mode in the April 9 update.

Orb

All your media on your TV with Xbox, Wii and PS3!

Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation3 gaming enthusiasts can now enjoy all of their digital media from their home PCs on their living room TV screen. Orb created a simple new way to watch and listen to all of the digital entertainment on the PC (home and Internet videos, photos, music and more) directly on your TV with your gaming console using Orb's free software as the bridge. And the best part? No additional hardware, set up or costs...just download Orb, turn on your TV and game console and start enjoying all of your digital media today.

You might have looked at the simple title, and pondered to yourself, "Orb.... hmmm.... where have I heard that? Oh yea crackdown." well your not even close. Let me inform you of what Orb actually is.

If you have heard of Tversity, you know the basics of Orb. It is a content delivering app that will stream content via home network to a host of hardware ranging from cellphones, to laptops, to all the latest next gen consoles including Wii, Xbox 360 etc.

You may be asking yourself, well I got Tversity, why would I be interested in Orb?

Well here's a few reasons why.

1. You download it, install it like any other app. But unlike Tversity, there isn't a huge install process, of grabbing this, and that to make it work.

2. It supports near all codecs including:
- DivX, ASF, ASX, WMV, WMA, WMD - MPE, MPA, MPG, M1V, MPEG WAV - BMP, JPG, JPEG, WMP, PNG, TIF, TIFF - MP2 MP2V MPV2 VOB DVR-, MS, TIVO, MP3 - PCX, MP4, AVI, GVI, AAC, AMR, 3GP - MOV, M4A, RM, RA, RAM, RAX, RMX, RMI, OGM, - URL, OGG, AA

3. Its well designed.. if you like pretty looking apps, the design of Orb was well thought out.

Here's a tidbit from the 360 guide to show just how easy it is to install, and get running.

1. Download Orb onto your Windows home PC and follow the instructions for installing and setting up your account.
2. Check to be sure that your Xbox 360 has the Fall 2006 update.
3. Connect your Xbox 360 to your TV.
4. Go to the 'Media' Tab in Xbox 360.
5. Select 'Music', 'Pictures', or 'Video'.
6. Select 'Computer' from the options menu.
7. Click 'Yes, continue' when asked if you have downloaded and installed media sharing software on your computer.
8. Select from the list the computer on which you just installed Orb in Step 1, above.
9. You should see all your media. The default selection is:
* For Music, the music in your MyDocuments/MyMusic and SharedDocuments/MyMusic folders
* For Pictures, the photos in your MyDocuments/MyPhotos and SharedDocuments/MyPhotos folders
* For Videos, the videos in your MyDocuments/MyVideos and SharedDocuments/MyVideos folders
* To add or change media folders, click the green Orb tray icon on your computer, then "Configuration", and select the "Media" tab to add your new folders.

Now if that isn't what I call an easy, and effortless install what is?
I have tested this out, and it is that easy to get running, I have a headless server, that has all my music, pictures, movies, and shows. I was playing with all these media types in under 10 minutes on my Xbox 360. That in itself should sell the idea of Orb. Furthermore all it takes to enjoy Orb, is to create an account, (which cost nothing) and enjoy. No codec's to mess with, no tutorials to follow, just a standard app installation.

Don't take my word for it try it out!

Well I stumbled across this free gaming magazine site. They offer magazines for all consoles, and the best part its free. I was a bit skeptical about it at first. So I downloaded the 360 magazine and I'm very impressed.

The content and quality of the magazine rivals any other gaming magazine out there. They supply the magazines via pdf format, and have a few advertisement in the issue. Can't complain when its free. Also the pdf is interactive, ie you can click on something on the front page and it will bring up the article, so no digging around for what you want to read. Very nicely done if you ask me.

They also have a deal, where you enroll friends, and you get entered to win two consoles of your choice. What have you got to lose, but a quick download and a good read.
