Gears of War 2 title update 4 wishlist
by PWNiSH3R on May.18, 2009, under Gears of War News
I know it’s early, but as some of us know epic has said that they are already working on a TU4. TU3 did a lot to get rid of some of the annoying things about gears, but here are some things that were not included in TU3 that I think they should add to make this game perfect..
All of the new wishlist items will be updated in RED
Bugs/ Glitches after TU3
DOWN BUT NOT OUT MEATSHIELD GLITCH
This glitch is extremely odd looking and rare, but is a glitch nonetheless. In extremely rare cases it is possible for a DBNO (Down but not out) player to tap A repeatedly while down and when an enemy swoops by to execute him the player will actually be able to grab the moving player as a meat shield. Again, the DOWNED player can grab the enemy executioner as a meat shield in extremely rare cases. As a result, some super odd graphic occurs and both players die.
Level 100 Glitch
I’m not going to state how it’s done seeing as that will only make more people do it, but this glitch needs to be fixed, before everyone is a level 100.
Tac Com Glitch
When spawwning if you hit [LB], your screen will become miscolored, and it makes the game almost unplayable until you die.
Sound Glitches
When charging a Torque Bow, Chainsawing, or firing, if you get smoked down the sound of doing the action you were performing continues.
Frag Grenade Glitch
-If you roll at the precise moment a grenade explodes beneath you, it will not kill you, and instead will do little or no damage.
-When an enemy is stuck with a frag, and then is downed before the frag does off. The Grenade does not kill, or damage to the downed player.
Underhill Garage
When you roll out of the garage door, you usually take cover in the middle of no where.
Guardian Glitch
Get rid of the Glitch in Guardian which generates 2 leaders on one team.
Double Ammo
When someone drops a boom shot, torque, Longshot or even any weapon, you usually will get double ammo. For example, if my friend hughes03 shot 2 rounds out of the Boomshot, leaving one remaining bullet. Now if hughes03 dies, and I go to pick it up, i will have 2 shots instead of one. (i.e. DOUBLE AMMO)
Mortar Randomly Shooting
This happens alot. I shoot about 2-3 rounds from the mortar, and the 4th or so shot just randomly shoots to the ground. Also, if you hip fire it, the ball doesn’t always explode.
Weapon Preferences
In the multiplayer option tab, you can prefer a weapon. But once you turn off your Xbox/go to dashboard, it changed. But the person stays. (I want my gold weapon as default!)
Picking Up weapons
You can also sometimes get stuck now while picking up weapons.
Boom Shield Glitch on Pavillion
Glitch with boom shield is still in pavilion – the glitch that I’m referring to is the one where you can grab a boom shield and glitch yourself through the doors at spawn. They should just take those doors out completely.
River Smoke Glitch
If you are under the bridge and get smoked, you sometimes will get flown through the bridge to be above it.
Smoke’s On Canals
Sometimes when you get smoked on canals underneath the middle bridge, you will appear on top of it.
No Weapon Spawning
You will sometimes spawn without a weapon. And you can’t shoot or so anything to your enemies. I’m not sure if you could fix this because it’s due to lag. It still happens after tu3.
Lasers On Security
Many people know about this. Throw/plant a smoke on the ground let it explode then it knocks you past the lasers and into the mortar/mulcher area.
Picking up a weapon
When you pick up a weapon, and immediately jump back, you actually roll forward into the enemy.
Left trigger after Motar causes no weapon glitch
What the title says.
Skorge
Sometimes when smoked, skorge gets knocked into the air, and sometimes die’s.
DBNO Standing
Sometimes when u down someone, they will be standing up.
Add on or DLC
Make the trueskill rank system effect the color of your level number
- 1 bar could be white
- 2 bar could be bronze
- 3 bar could be silver
- 4 bar could be gold
- 5 bar (that hasnt reached lvl 100) could be a platinum color that kinda sparkles or somthing
- 5 bar (that has reached lvl 100) would have a platinum colored star
There could be a table of contents on the side of the lobby displaying it.
Make diffrent point scale where points are based on difficulty of kill
-Torque Headshot: 250 Points
-Sniper Headshot: 225 Points
-Boltok Headshot: 200 Points
-Hammer of dawn, Mulcher and Mortar: 150 Points
-Chainsaw: 100 Points
-All others: 175 Points
-Bounus for Dobble kill with 1 shot: 50 Points
-Bounus for multiple kills within 2 secounds of eachother: 25 Points(a peice)
-Bounus for doing a long execution: 10 Points
-Bounus for killing the leader in Guardian: 100 Points
-Bounus for surviving as leader in Guardian: 200 Points
Distance Meter
Add a distance number in the downed players red circle. If we knew our teammate was only 15 feet from us we would all know to try to find him.. but if he’s 50 yards from us we can ignore having to run around the whole map trying to find him. By adding some sort of indication of feet/yards from the players location I can guarantee a lot more people would be helping each other more often.
Blast Radius
Reduce Blast Radius of smokes and frags.
Different Meatshield button
Change Meatshield button to either Y, LB, RB, or a click of the Left or Right Stick.
Melee “Lock on”
Get rid of Melee “Lock on.” If a player hits the B button, they automatically try to hit any opposing player nearby. This is most likely also the reason why the Chainsaw has a “vacuum” effect.
Return of Gears 1 maps
The Return of either Clocktower or War Machine from Gears of War 1.
Play list should go as follows
Wingman Playlist – features Wingman
Execution Playlist – features Execution
Warzone Playlist – features Warzone
Objective Playlist - features Submission and Guardian
Territories Playlist - features KOTH and Annex
Horde Playlist – features Horde
No auto reloads
When your weapon is out of ammo and tries to automatically reload, this can be annoying, that should be fixed or at least an option to turn it on or off.
Enemy smoke grenades have red led
I would like a way to tell without aiming at an enemies smoke grenade if it is ours or not. Like the led’s of the locust are red.
Rank symbols with gear related names
I love the new ranking system; it would be nice to have symbols next to my name, as well as numbers.
Single Player/Co-op DLC?
Many people would love this. or something like an endless horde dlc? That would be sweet.
Host Migration
When the host quits, it will choose a new host. Rod already said it’s very hard to do, but is not impossible and is being “experimented” with.
Public Matches, NOT Ranked
People want this. I personally don’t care. But, it’s a suggestion.
Map Cycle
The ability to when in private match cycle your map selection instead of going to the main lobby every time to choose a new map.
Wall Tags
I think if you die, your planted grenade should go away.
Chainsaw
There is still a little bit of a vacuum on the chainsaw. Please make it so you have to be right next to the person to chainsaw them. It has got a lot better though since the update..(this one is just nitpicking a little)
Connection
I think they should have a connection status beside your name when u join the match to see what your connection rate is.
More in the War Journal
I also wish we could see how many exp we have in the war journal.
Gametypes
-Free For All gametype. This would be ALOT of fun
-Thrashball(Oddball) Gametype Link HERE
Clan Support
Would go along with the whole “team game” spirit…
Rankings:
-Leader (Can invite/kick anyone from clan, Promote/demote people, Disband clan)
-Co-leader (Can invite/kick people)
-Captain (Invite)
-Members (Just members of clan)
Clan Playlist: “Clan battle”
-Execution/Warzone rules
-Best 2/3 Random maps NO VOTING
-Winning team gets 1.5x xp, losing team gets 0
-Must have a full group of 5
-Winner will get points towards a leaderboard showing who is the top clan!
Tournament: “Clan Tourney”
-Same rules as Clan Playlist
-This will be a locked playlist to the top 2,000 clans to join only
-Winning team will be immediately put back into matchmaking and search for another winning team, to prevent having to wait for other teams to finish their matches, you will be put automatically into a “Second round” pool. It will search for second round teams and match you up with one. This will continue until a team has won 4 matches in a row, they will be declared winners of the “tournament”
-Winners of each tournament will be given “tournament points” to also go onto a leaderboard
More Private Match Options
Toggle ON/OFF
-Smoke Grenade stuns

-Shooting immediately out of a roll/roadie run

-Add alternating rounds with custom weapons ie. if I want round 1 to be full of Torque Bows and round 2 full of longshots.
-Active down option so we can turn it on in all sniper matches
-Set the torque’s splash damage
-Reload speeds
-Option so if someones down they cant get boomed torqued or pistol headshotted
-Ability to crawl on the floor
-Blast radius of all grenades
-Detonation time of all grenades

-”Lucid” display option Gears 1 had to give you that horror movie look
Private Horde Connection
For a private horde match, allow a disconnected player to rejoin the match once re-connected during the same wave. The player shall show up as dead on the team but will get to re-join that same game they got disconnected from.
Hopefully Title update 4 will have the majority of these suggestions in it. We will continue to update this list as we feel the need to. If you have any suggestions make sure and post a comment.

you forgot the biggiest thing..CUSTOM MATCHES epic is so retarted for thinking there would be no issue if they did matchmaking, Dumbasses tried to copy halo and call of duty but failed miserablly and thats a reason they lost so many people, Does epic not understand that every single video out there with gears of war 2 has loads of people angry ? Multiplayer is so broken youd think someone would grow a brain from epic and say “GEE lets release a beta version of a title update and let them reply, they dont know how bad the lag is because they pla LAN CONNECTION WITH THEIR buddy in then next room. EPIC IM NEVER GOING BACK ON TILL YOU FIX THIS BROKEN PEICE OF SHIT
April 22nd, 2009 on 2:58 pm
I agree with a few of these ideas especially with the ranking system having a symbol next to your name alnog with the number (e.g Level 5 to 14 one bar, 15 to 24 2 bar, 25 to 49 3 gold bars, 50 to 99 4 bar and level 100 5 bar). they should reinstate the melee coming out of a roadie run I just do not understand why they took this out along with the two piece that what has ruined the game for alot of gamers. I have quite a few friends who now will not play because of this. Another idea is the map packs, i think when you pick to play say for example Excution/Warzone you should aslo be able to pick which maps to play on, whether it would be snowblind or the flashback and so on. They should REALLY REALLY implement this for wigman because wigman is getting boring playing on the same maps all the time. Maybe not for the new title update but the next game they should really sit down and figure out the ranking system because we went from being hard to rank up to being to easy to rank up. the ranking system should rely on your win loss ratio, the better the percentage the better your ranking.

so I’m a bit confused about what these TU are. Recently my game did an update so I was able to play online, was that it?
=\ I feel pretty dumb lol. But this site is where I first heard about title updates.
April 23rd, 2009 on 12:59 pm
The Title update(TU) are updates that come out for a game.. if it is a big update that fixes alot of things they call it a title update. When you start your xbox up and it ask you to update thats a title update. TU3 was the most recent update.. it fixed alot of things wrong with the game.. go to this link http://gwa.justasktheitguy.com/gears-of-war-news/gears-of-war-2-title-update-3-detailed-release-notes-2/ it explains everything it fixed.. hope that helped
April 23rd, 2009 on 1:34 pm
Ah! Ok, so that was the TU. Cool, well I’m glad they’re fixing things.
Thanks for the info!
April 23rd, 2009 on 8:15 pm
Man, I’ve experienced a lot of these, especially while we were playing Annex or Execution. One of them was the River glitch with the bridge. I think the enemy shot the boomshot and I some how ended up ontop of the bridge when I was below it.
Another thing which is probably due to the lag but I hate it when I rev my chainsaw and NOTHING happens. I’ll be right next to a locust or another player and pull out the chainsaw for a good few solid seconds and it doesn’t do anything. Generally during the time I’m trying to get it to saw, they blast me away with a shot gun.
Then there is also the Gazebo glitch in Pavillion where some how the mortar can shoot through the ceiling even though you are securely underneath it.
I look forward to seeing what they do for TU4
April 27th, 2009 on 6:48 am
I think, That all most of these these things that you are saying should happen is complete shit.
You all asked for a new ranking system?? they gave you 1?? and now you want a mix between the 2 which is fucking ridiculous.
And stop moaning, i think if they could fix everythihg your moaning about.. THEY FUCKING WOULD!!!!
April 27th, 2009 on 11:52 pm
Daniel i appreciate your comment but I do want to point out in no way shape or form am I “moaning” as you say. If you were to read the title you would notice it says “wishlist” not “list of demands”. This is simply my personal Wishlist. It consists of some of the things that I wish they could add to this game. I would also like to point out that 95% of the wishlist has absolutely nothing to do with the ranking system. I know that Epic cannot change all of this overnight. May I suggest next time not to take it so seriously.
April 27th, 2009 on 4:37 pm
My biggest issue is the damn chainsaw stun, some guy hits me with a snipe round from across the map, while i am trying to chainsaw someone, and no matter the direction i get stunned, and every time i hit B to chainsaw again i get stunned…off the same damn bullet! I have actually gotten to 10 stuns of one bullet!!!!! FIX IT! and what happened to before the release of the game when gears fans were promised dedicated server fucking assholes!!!! Drop Dead Cliffy!
April 29th, 2009 on 9:11 am
they need to fix the meatshield glitch because sometimes when someone is down and you execute or kill them they sometimes magically meatshield you i had it done like ten times and i did it like 5
May 2nd, 2009 on 3:26 pm
ill add that in there
May 11th, 2009 on 8:32 pm
I WISH they would remove the stun option from smokes. I have friends with 2.0’s that would easily be 3.0’s if it weren’t for getting stunned down. The two seconds is like 4 still anyway, because you can’t actually do anything for about 2 or 3 seconds after you begin to stand up.
I miss being able to shoot out of the roadie run, as I’ll be too far away to use my shotty, but too close for hammerbursting, so I roadie run up, but oh, wait, I can’t shoot for 2 damn seconds. However I’m glad the roadie run melee is gone, but the two-piece is still there, unlike someone stated, it’s simply harder to do (for me) but I still die from it. I melee, shoot them, They don’t go down even, but I get double meleed or two pieced or one-shotted back. It’s a bit ridiculous, but oh well.
*Actually, just being able to shoot the ridiculously slow and weak shotty while hitting the A button would be nice (aka an effective Gears of War super man — they still happen, but it’s can be a pain in the ass to do, and half the time, my shotty decides not to go off-Go Figure)
The ridiculous lag would be nice if it were fixed. I hate having to lose 1500 xp points bc of a bad connection. I thought host was supposed to be given to the best connection, correct? Then Why does it give it to the worst connection in the room? A.K.A. bridging host (stopping your connection for a minute, so it is the worst in matchmaking), or a room full of Americans with T2 and T3 connections, and host is given to mexicans with k-mart cell phone internet, or to british people 1000+ miles away. Regional matchmaking…? I thought that was supposed to happen…? Because I still end up playing with Mexicans and Californians and British people while I live on the east coast (it’s irksome, but not a HUGE issue).
Having your gun lowered as you get knicked by a stray lancer bullet, or your character ducking which throws your shot off is a pain, and it’s quite annoying, actually.
The game seriously needs consistancy. I don’t like to be complaining a bitchy, but certain things about gears 2 are as annoying as getting modded on CoD
May 11th, 2009 on 10:36 pm
You know Mayo i kinda agree with you to an extent.. I love gears 1&2. I think personally its the best series of a video game ever since the mario brothers
.. that just me, but i do think that with all of its potential it does have some major holes in its core. The game is great but is inconsistant. I think with the title updates that has come out it has filled some of those holes. I honestly think epic cares(alot of people dont think this)about there fans and try there best to make things write. I think some people give them a bad rap for putting out games with glitches and things.. I believe microsoft has alot to do with that, they want the game out before the holidays so in return we get a 95% finished game not a 100% polished game. That is just my opinion
May 18th, 2009 on 10:16 pm
the skorge glitch only occurs when your smoked twice one immediately after another.
June 22nd, 2009 on 12:51 pm
Epic should bring back public matches. Thats what made Gears 1 such a great game. This way you can leave and join games that are not laggy. Bring public matches BACK
June 25th, 2009 on 1:12 pm
Thrashball should be called murder ball to help with the story line … you know… Cole used to play murder ball.
September 3rd, 2009 on 8:03 am
1-smok G are a joke. just make a stun G cuz that way we know what to expect
2-i don\’t like the voting part in the game where everything its not what you wanted from the game type to the map
3-trueskill rank system hahahaha i always get the crapy team that they just started plying the game so i lose cuz my team8s suk
4-most importent think you of you glitches out there fuck you all cuz you the ones who criates thos problems in the first place
September 20th, 2009 on 7:39 am
theres no nothing wrong with the ranking system beside the fact that you have fact ass 100 not cool..for the people that worked to get to 100…what they need to change or fix or set up so its better is the lag its super bad…get games were i dont have a gun or i shot a guy with my shot gun till its empty to kill him..or get it so that host is not as strong or just set it up so that epic is host all the time lets be honest people would play and enjoy the game better not to metion you wouldnt hear host people wouldnt complain about the B button as much they would bitch about something else liek epic host lol thats funny but thats really about it other then that the game would be like amazing
