You also can't rodeo run anymore, this definatly fixed a lot of glitches and makes the online slightly more enjoyable because of it.

I stopped playing Gears of War since this update.
They need to fix the damn host advantage because it is rediculous.
And the Lancer is now a crappy gun, only a few shots down you. They should've never updated Gears. It was great before they started messing it up.

By Roadie Run, do you mean hauling a** in order to not get killed? That doesn't sound very enjoyable to me. sad

Not really, it's the useless ones that are evil, because you have to try to figure out what the heck was changed in the game.

Well, at least you can say "They're trying to help", which is Epic's update plan anyway.

Yeah, at least they're trying.
They at least fixed those glitches. But other than that they'd probobly be better off just changing it back to how they had in the beginning.

By Roadie Run I mean be able to run and shoot at the same time.

I have no problem with the updates besides the fact that they fixed weapon slide.

Sure, it's not realistic at all, but my god, it helps with preventing your head getting popped off while you're picking up a weapon.
