Another Gears of War 2 title update is on the way from the good folks at Epic... thanks to the fact that the previous one opened up a security hole in the game. Oopsie. Good thing they can fix things like this though, no? Got to love this generation. Over on the official Gears forums, Epic's Rod Fergusson puts the word out about title update 5, roadie running your way sometime soon.
"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. "
No word on when the patch will go live, but since it's currently making the rounds through hell QA and Microsoft certification, it shouldn't be long. Fifth time's the charm? Let's hope so!
