Sorry, just bumped it once, I just forgot to mention the 2nd thing, but I do agree with with the other guy, I wish they would have had more also, plus it seems like I get stuck to walls a lot easier now, Epic screwed it up IMO. 

[QUOTE="halogta9890"]IMO Annex is the worst mode in Gears of War, I would easily play Assination of Annex any day, plus is anyone disapointed that epic removed the glitches? I kind of wish there was a way to allow them in Player Matches and not in Ranked.drummer13us

I think Annex is alot better then assination and I hated the glitches and thats the best thing about this update IMO

I understand why Epic got rid of the glitches, but I think there should have been an option to leave them on or something because me and my friends had fun falling through Tyro and seeing who could survive.

Well, in a room where people actually want to play the game...people don't like that. The weapon sliding wasn't a glitch in the first place until people began to do it like the "super jump."

Take the torque bow at the Canals map. If you cover-up on the wall next to the natural torque bow spawn and pick it up while moving, it'll animate naturally. I'm assuming here, but it wouldn't be far off to think the same possible for other weapons next to an area where one can use the cover system nearby.

Less QQ, more Pew Pew. 

I like Annex. First off alt respawns is nice and the game is a lot more chaotic. Now i did figure out that if you do more than 3-4 rounds of annex you will hate it. Not only because it takes forever, but also because Annex is lopsided. In deathmacth types people are mroe careful and learn what their enemy does and plays off it to improve. In Annex however people don't so the team that wins the 1st round by 50+ will most likely win every round from there.

It is nice to be a change from standerd deathmatch and with the element of how you can't get achievements (for kills) it makes it a tid more strategic. But while you don't get achievements you do still get points. It is less points than other modes, but you do still get points. I had 11 kills with 6 caps and 3 breaks while someone on the other team had 19 kills 2 caps and 1 break and was extremely close to having more points then me.

It is a nice change, but i will probably use it as a training ground for Warzone. It lets me learn the maps better and hwo to use them and gives me some training with taking on people 1v1 and 1v2 (or more) which i can then implement into Warzone.

I stopped playing Gears of War for over 3 months because i got tired of the game modes and the people glitching.

Now with Annex, I play Gears of War A LOT more now.

I love Annex.

gritches are for bi%$es!

OK - here goes - I will try to answer all of your questions/concerns.

Sorry guys, the glitches still are there.  Don't be fooled.  You can still weapon slide, chainsaw glitch, etc.  I don't know what Epic did, but the didn't fix these things.

Annex is great.  It is a much needed change to the elimination modes. 

The "lag" you are now seeing is due to the nature of Annex.  With so many firefights happening in the control zones, Epic failed to change the code to remove the dead bodies/body parts/weapons from the ground, thus there are a LOT of these things to track, plus 8 players all in the same small area.  This causes the lag you are seeing.  They just need to make the debris disappear quicker and the lag will be reduced.

Sucks that the kills don't count towards your achievements.  I have all of them but two (sniper and seriously...), so I don't really care too much.

The Roadie Running is actually not as bad as you might think - you just need to use it a bit differently than before.  Instead of pushing up, up/left, up/right to move around corners, etc.  You need to pull down, down/left, down/right to run around.  Epic changed the code to do a check to see if the player was pushing the right analog stick in the direction of cover.  If so, then it makes the player move into that cover.  If you are pulling back on the stick (keep in mind that you need to already be in the Roadie Run by having already pressed A), then you will not go into cover and simply "bounce" off of the walls, corners, etc.  This works very well.  Try it.

Hope this helps.
