Annex Official Word: King of The Hill-ish
xbox360fanboy.com — he official Gears of War website has the full skinny on the upcoming free title update, hitting an Xbox 360 near you on April 9th. The game will play very similar to the Halo series' Team Crazy King gametype, with a 15 second respawn time and unlimited lives. The way Annex works is that a given map will have somewhere between two to five control po

- bmurph83, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9This should really add something fresh to the game.
- Jooced, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Not having to put up with all of the glitches will add something fresh. This is just the icing on the cake. :-)
- neiltc13, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1The multiplayer modes in Gears of War are rubbish at the moment. Perfect Dark Zero's elimination gametype is much better.
I've been thinking for a while though that Gears of War needed respawns and this should be a pretty nice gametype.
However - this update doesn't solve one of the worst problems of all - the crappy textures in the game. - g4blows, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I would like to see a feature where you could disable or swap some of the weapons you spawn with, I'm just tired of shotgun whores.
- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Seems a lot like Onslaught from UT2004. Not surprising seeing as to how the UT crew had a significant factor in creating Gears.
- Effect1veRange, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Yeah because "spectating is F**king g@y!
- TheCash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Is it just me, or did that sentence under the headline make no sense at all whatsoever?
- rutger1413, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0A new game type does not count as fresh?
- wush, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The diggs box is sitting on top of the large ornate letter T in the description!
- sparrow88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1boy ain´t right-ish
- kopaka649, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Sounds like Day of Defeat..
- Kevinb1577, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2this is bull
http://gearsofwar.com/
it would be on the news section
and when u click the link they give in the article it says it cannot be found- VPurpmalkV, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm not usually the one to comment on the "fake" cries. But he's right. The link he provides leads to a non-existent link on the Gears website. This should be labeled rumor, Although I can only hope the link will update and prove this true.
- ozid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Bobby, put down that got dang vija game."
- F1R3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish there were details about how they plan on preventing spawn killing...
The fact the team doesn't have to stay with the node means they are free to stand by a spawn with their chainsaw ready.. - Angostura, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2At last, a propane=centred game.

It's not bull, it was just posted prematurely:
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13185/Gears-of-War-Patch-Coming-Next-Monday-Annex-Revealed/
"We have just received word from Microsoft regarding this leak. A Microsoft spokesperson told us:
Earlier this afternoon, we prematurely posted news on the upcoming title update for “Gears of War,” which will contain an exciting new multiplayer mode called “Annex.” While we can confirm that the information provided about “Annex” is correct, the release date of April 9 is not final and remains TBD.
Stay tuned for more info, and we promise that this game-changing new multiplayer mode will be well worth the wait. "- Kevinb1577, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ok, well im not totally shure i believe it yet, id like to believe it
- itsameericle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this is basically territories,
not team crazy king which is traditionally a single, moving hill that is instantly captured and held only if a member of the team is in the hill - Velirno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This suits the game very well in my opinion. That and it will be a lot less stressful to play with the respawn.
- V1P312, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Having only one life brings the best in players, re-spawn will attract dumb-asses who will only run out and start shooting randomly.
- Velirno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm sorry were you playing Gears of War? Where this sort of thing happens anyhow, or the complete opposite happens where there's a 10-minute stand-off. Which is fine for the two still playing, but thanks to the "awesome" spectator camera, boring for the rest in my opinion. Oh and I would like to have some fun in my game, not sweat bullets over something I have to worry about in real life...you know...death...having one life...
- rexrep, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I can just imagine a bunch of 10 year-olds "glitching" with this ***** (i.e. grabbing the object and getting off the map through some nooks and crannies). I hope the guys over at Epic realize this and rectify it otherwise, Annex will be officially gay.
- TheSiege, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Me using the Wiimote is like trying to kill a squirrel with Legos.
- TheSiege, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Sorry guys, wrong digg :(
- Spo8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hope this turns out well. God knows I don't want Arathi Basin following me into Gears.
- drmobutu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Omanoboy, Itelluwhat, thatolHaloboy, man, Mastergrief, man? Itelluwhat, that dangol Gearsowar got nothin on King of the Hill, oldschool style, y'nowotimsayin, man?
