    I just got on gears today and played the new gametype annex. I was excited at first while playing it and was having fun until i noticed a flaw. In annex if one or two people quit there is no reason playing anymore if you are on the quitting team because it becomes so unbalanced. Is it just me or do other people notice the flaw that annex is a 4v4 gametype and 1 or2 people quit the team they quit on just lost. Also, pleaz dont pick raven down for annex . It just sucks on that map.

If people leave it can make Annex tough but my buddy and I were two on three and we won by 86 points!!! I love the respawns and having to hold down an area. It actually takes skill and teamwork which works perfectly into the game. I will say Raven Down is lame for it but you just take it out and it's all good because it works on all the other levels. It's my fave for sure. Although it would be awesome if you could have it be either Warzone rules or Execution rules because letting you do Execution would make it that much crazier!

actually the game is flawed cuz you have people going after kills and no the control points. i played a match with 2 other people, that just went after the kills instead of helping me and another capturing control points. after 2 hours of playing annex i went back to warzone.

I like it but the lag can be really bad sometimes, I notice that the host and local friends of his/hers will always have an advantage if Im not in the same city or state

Its a good game mode, but flawed.  A person can sit at the respawn & down the enemy when they appear, while the rest of the team goes after the control points.  If they were thinking, right .. they should have made it so people cannot stay in the respawn area with out penalty.

IMHO, spawn camping is not really a problem of the game's design.  It's people playing unfairly.  I would give them the thumbs down and never play with them again.

 I played 3 rounds of annex last night and had a lot of fun.  It's a good game mode.

Its a good mode but , as people have been saying , there is trouble with campers and you cant get achievements on it . Also people dont like the fact that the glitches are all gone plus the respawns kinda make it a lot like rainbow six vegas ( not a good thing)

It's fun to play with friends, playing it ranked is pointless.

I really enjoy it. Annex on Tyro Station, with the control zone in the middle of the train tracks is pretty crazy.  The slowdown in the game seems to come from the fact that, at a control point, there are a LOT of dead body parts, weapons, etc. laying around.  These seem to pile up and don't disappear.  If they'd just clear the debris faster, then I don't think you'd see as much slow down.

My biggest question is: Why the heck didn't they fix any of the big glitches (the weapon slide and the chainsaw glitch), but changed the Roadie Run????  Who's idea was that?  Now, when you Roadie Run, you stick to just about anything.  Before you didn't.

Oh, and Epic has already said that they basically aren't going to do anything about the bullet lag, so we are stuck with that.
