    Epic Games have announced that they will be releasing a third title update which is aiming at fixing the multiplayer yet again.

    "- A new levelling system which will abolish the TrueSkill rank completely. Info on the new system's 100 levels can be found at http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=658236
    - Players can only be downed by smoke grenades for a maximum of 2 seconds
    - The "Two-Piecing" outbreak with the shotgun is expect to be remedied by giving players a higher chance of dodging the shot after being meleed
    - If the host quits, only the host will lose exp, not everyone
    - Five new achievements will be added to the list for the DLC that is expected to arrive shortly after the update
    - "Gameplays tweaks will also be made" and as well new glitches that have arisen will be taken care of
    "

    Sources: [1] and [2]

    All looks pretty good to me, like the idea of the new ranking system.

    The new leveling system sounds much better than the TrueSkill ranking system, good news. I wonder what the DLC will be, more maps probably, I wonder how many.

    Good, good. We move ever closer to removing concussive smoke grenades altogether.

    The only thing I want fucking fixed in Gears of War 2 is the fucking standbying and bridging. That will never happen because Epic has been working on Gears of War 3 right after the release of Gears of War 2. Fuck.

    Glad to see they are trying to fix the bugs. Just dissapointing they released the game with such major problems.

    Can't wait for Title Update 7 when they're going to remove the smoke grenade's concussive effect entirely.

    Yeesss!!
    The rank update thing is soo welcome.
    And when smoke grenades become smoke grenades instead of concussion grenades, I will be pleased.

    just hit that *A* button to DO A BARREL ROLL

    I do think the3y should be found in the map though, spawning with them is ok for larger maps and respawn gametypes but for warzone/execution on maps like pavillion it's just silly


    also how does the current system work? man if only all ranking systems were as aweosme as halo 3

    Stanbying will be fixed in the 3rd title update so standbyers won't be able to play the Multiplayer but they didn't mention how.

    I thought I was the only person who still had problem with two-piecing.  Glad they're doing something about it.

    it's quite funny while they attempt to melee you and are floundering helplessly while you're calmly putting bullets inside them with ya hammerburst

    I can't stand how epic keeps changing their game. It is great that they are fixing the smoke grenades but why do they feel like they have to keep tweaking the shotgun? Leave the thing alone. Jesus, some people will always complain, but it isn't like they can't two piece people also.

    They will never admit they totally screwed gears multiplayer and remove those things.
