      HooYah, this is what I have been waiting for and fixes nearly every exploit I had been griping about. Looks like I have more to do with this game now than just playing through the campaign.

      It amazing to look at the list of fixes on the GoW forums. Seriously, as a gamer who hasn’t played the matchmaking, that game looks like it shipped straight up broken. First Gears 1, now this. Epic, I see where your priorities are. I’ll be second guessing on getting Gears 3 and any other Epic game(s) from now on.

      Glad they got most if not all of the problems fixed, but sad thing is almost everyone has “moved” on. What I think they should do is release some awesome maps for free and try and bring everyone back…otherwise…it could be to little to late for a really great game IMHO.

      I’m glad to see everything fixed, but the fix to kicking down the shield is going to kill Horde strategies :)

      I set Gears 2 aside because of all of the issues, so I’m glad to be able to dive back into the multiplayer; hopefully there are still people playing.

      They put their foot in their mouths when they had the audacity to charge for the map-pack, unassumingly losing a huge base of then-hardcore gamers. If they had given it away, they’d have saved many who landed in zombie-town (L4D).

      Another good question would be: who is more inclined to now BUY the expansion maps, now that these bugs have been fixed?

      I love RE5! I got it for the Xbox 360 and its sweet. I think the game is mint. The controls were hard to get used to at first, but after a little while you start getting really good at it!
