Annex for Gears of War came out today. I personally LOVE it. The respawns are awesome and i personally love territory type games.

I hope this makes them realize that, even if in the form of these waves (which they stole off of the UT2004 mod FragOps

), respawns can work in this game.

I'm not a fan of territories, especially in low health/realistic games because things tend to become "omg camp tiem"...but kudos to them.

I hate it. I'd rather have respawns in an execution gametype than in some failed attempt at KOTH (King of the hill). I found it to frustrating because all the hills are at weapon spawns which people switch weapons for boomshot so first one to the hill basically can pwn anyone coming there after them. Also the re-spawns are so far away from some hill spawns that they can gain 20 pts before your team gets close to where they are. Also it makes normal weapon spawns away from the hill useless because by the time you pick up a weapon they're ahead 10-15 pts.

The gametype in my oppinion fails miserably. It makes gears more like a halo killfest (note gears is a strategy game to some extent) than it's original intended fast paced strategic combat.

The only use I will find out of this gametype is playing with friends to kill and respawn but ignore the hills to keep the game going.

CTF would be better than KOTH. In my opinion.

Man why did my 360 have to break....

EDIT: WAIT! not you above me! the one below me..

Your 360 broke because my envy of you and guitar hero 2 went through the cables and killed it.....>_>

But ya i have been playing annex....one thing i don't like is that rounds are massive!

30 minutes=3 rounds or so for me

But i do like the massive kill count you get. Over 50 Killz for 2 rounds.

Annex is my new favorite gametype =P

I really like it. Played it for a couple of hours last night with BlueRedFire and we "owned" as they say these days.

Hey I do remember you. I think we were on the same team and I assume we kicked bum.

after playing this last night i found some downsides to it...not the games fault. People act like its warzone or any other mode and say "oh em gee im gonna goes for teh snipes lolz." when we are suppose to go to the boomshot spawn or some other spawn away from the sniper. They don't really help they just camp liek before.

I found that too hence me typing

Also it makes normal weapon spawns away from the hill useless because by the time you pick up a weapon they're ahead 10-15 pts.

above.

ya i know..i find it annoying....they are useless...people don't realize it though. They always go for something else and i end up having to kill off 4 people by myself.

EDIT!: ALSO! GRRRRRR i have attempted to play some games of Annex today and i have played maybe 20 matches or more probably. I finished 1. The host ALWAYS quits. Thus i lose my points/kills....i had over 50 and he quit....ERRRRRR

Ninja, you know that your kills in Annex do NOT count towards achievements, right?

[quote]Q: How does Annex affect gaining achievements?

A: Due to the addition of infinite respawns, any kills in Annex won

ninja modder · Post by **ninja modder** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 3:41 am

ya i know. But still....i like to killz and i also want to finish matches.
