Fourth Title Update for Gears of War 2 Is Co-Op Friendly

You have to admire the folks over at Epic.  Already, just over half a year since release, Gears of War 2 its fourth title update.  Not too many games get this level of attention, and we're glad to see that there's a lot of co-op goodness to be had in this latest update.  From Epic's official Update 4 Release Notes:

• Adds the ability to collect multiplayer experience by playing Horde mode.

• Adds the ability to restart Public Horde from the current failed wave instead of having to start over from wave 1. Title Update 4 also allows the host to kick players from a Public Horde session.

• Adds support for the new campaign chapter, "Road to Ruin."

In case you had forgotten, "Road to Ruin", an hourlong deleted campaign chapter, will be available in the upcoming DLC pack Dark Corners, along with several new maps.  All Fronts, a collection including Dark Corners and all the previous DLC, is coming as well (though the retail version of All Fronts has been cancelled).  Both are headed your way on July 28, so get your Lancers gassed up!

I know right im about 200 rounds away from that cheevo, Horde plus bots are what really made gears for me.

LOL, my wife and I are about 1200 rounds into the 1999 achievement and 98% of them are from local Horde games. We have dabbled in a bit of Warzone too.

We tried playing a few games of Horde on Live but the wife couldn't stand the riff-raff and kids out there.

Hey dude hit me up sometime me and my wife would love to game it up with you and your wife, we are mature and don't mind cutting up when playing.

Gears of War 1 also got a recent update. Any details on that?

I'm up for Gears 2 if anyone is up

Sounds good to me. My wife and I can't seem to get much past level 8 on our own and we seriously need some help.

You would think they would patch the USB port stuff.. Its just silly to have to unplug stuff that you usually just leave plugged
Yeah but I think it would still be cool!
Thanks for clearing that up! I probably won't buy it though.
I recently picked up a 360 after nearly five years of Warcraft, so... well, I have some catching up to do. My current game libra
