What do you guys think "Annex" will be? I think it will be something FUN, like a special version of death-match.

as long as the bullet lag, host advantage, and glitches are fixed, anything on gears would be fun. but as is right now, it's unplayable to all but the blind.

it's going to be Territories form halo 2, and Conquest from the Battlefield series. Enjoy it, as it's one of the worst and most boring modes halo had to offer.

I totatally agree. I loved the game, but then an update destroyed it for me and I haven't played it for a long time.

simple logic, annex can be nothing except that mode. 2 + 2 = 4 and such. Unless it's a business mode in which your goal is to perform hostile takeovers of smaller companies (thus, Annexing them).

yes and next week they'll release a mode called "capture the flag" where-in the goal will be to sing songs and hold hands in perfect unison, the team which collaborates better is the winner.

You do know they can call it whatever they want and make it whatever they want right? Just because the defenition of annex goes along with what you say. I mean they could call is EAT SH** and it would be a territories gametype...

Firstly i hope it isn't Territories and more like the CoD Headquarters gametype. Mainly because Territories wouldn't exactly work for all maps (rooftops would more or less have one spot and that would more or less be called KingOfTheHill). Headquarters however would work better for Gears. One team finds the position and can't respawn untill they lose the position (or all of them die). Now that could be put anywhere on the map (because most territoies ussually have atleast somewhat fair positions for both teams and headquarters doesn't need that).

Hopefully it will be more like Headquarters. It will allow for a respawn gametpe, but will follow what Epic tried doing with atleast minimun run and gun gameplay.

please provide one example of a game containing a gametype who's name does not reflect the gameplay it represents.

Well if it is a territory mode, then Epic saying "people who have tried it say it's possibly the best gametype" is either a bunch of hype, or people have just gotten really bored of the current gametypes that a territories type was refreshing.

 I choose option 1.

So you are saying we can make a game that has a mode called "Capture the Flag", and have it be a Team Survival Match?

So I guess this means the game will now have respawning? That will be quite a big change... Also opens the doors up to several other gametypes. I wonder how they will handle it? Locusts crawling out of holes and COGs jumping out of the seats of the vehicles? Or they will just pop out of thin air, whatever works I guess.

I've only tried Assasination once, the first week the game was out, hated it, and haven't even thought of trying it again. If Annex sucks too, I won't play it. So no, I won't play what they give me. Thanks for your input though.

Not necessarily. They could make it 8-man Free-for-All, last man standing wins, first guy to win target number of rounds wins the match. I see that being more likely than respawns.

Only way to get rid of host/lag advantage is by remaking the online with dedicated servers, and I just don't see that happening. Meanwhile, try not to get into shotty wars if you are lagging
