PSA: Gears of War 3 title update 3 drops today
17
Sick and tired of people hiding in that one spot on Mercy and, well, mercilessly gunning you down? Well, Epic's finally fixed that (among other things) in its third title update for Gears of War 3.
You'll be prompted to download the update upon booting up your game today. It also addresses ghost camera issues and allows players to prime a revive for a DBNO (down but not out) teammate by holding in the Y button before they approach. It's basically the same thing as holding in the X button before approaching a weapon pickup.
Random Quickmatch playlist map order is another addition, as is non-Versus mode weapon swaps in Horde mode. Now, players will find the default weapons on each map that were available when the game initially shipped, as opposed to the current weapon assignments found in online versus multiplayer matches.

Will my friend along with loads of other people complaining on the Epic forum be able to finally play this game at all?

@Arsenic13 They seem to have fixed that problem, or at least one of the causes of that problem. The official release notes state that "A second player signing in on the loading screen before entering the pre-game lobby will no longer cause profile issues."

How about an option to join Horde matches that are in session? I swear, after the 2nd person leaves, the match is pretty much over.

Delta Squad looks like they just watched the final episode of Lost.

Sure wish they would fix the 2 player and 4 player co op campaign achievements not unlocking. Sucks....

Still didn't add dead room chat back to private matches.
That really grinds my gears.

I am still having a ridiculous amount of fun in Beast Mode, but it would be cool if they could add some variations to it, even if just for certain weekends.
And I agree with philmcfail, allow people to come in to Horde when it is underway...

Actually, according to Epic's list of fixes on their site, they did this for executing enemies, not reviving teammates.
