I got a similar sort of patch for Pro Evolution Soccer 5. It appears to talk directly to the Konami servers and ensure that I got directly screwed by the game whenever playing my true rival online. A variety of fixes were included to this effect including making the posts I was shooting at wider, "Liverpool half time", if they were losing (like the watch at Old Trafford) and making my best player injury prone and apparently attaching my defenders to a bungie cord to ruin my offside trap.
I'm not bitter, as you can tell...

It's pretty clear that Epic and MS just love Alimokrane, and hate the rest of us. Yup, I'm getting ready to play the gamer discrimination card.

Patch is before hand
I don't think it's going to be a big one though. Expect the VGA fix to be in, maybe the VOIP issue fixed but some of the other big changes people might want will take longer I think.
All I wish you could do is change the bloody map without starting a new lobby!
Removed host name from ranked matches in multiplayer! That's going to REALLY piss a lot of people off. Now it's literally impossible to play with your friends! I think this move is sort of opposite of what people want, really. Oh well, more player matches for me I guess.
I'm still thrilled that the VoIP bug is getting fixed. Grenade tag distance is a good one too. It all sounds good enough for me..still would love ranked match making..but atleast when I *do* play ranked games now I won't be stuck with some pick up team vs. some clan.

Its called Raven Down, thats the one with the Raven chopper. the second one is the museum one called, Old Bones.
Although Raven Down looks so tight, it is a massacre and fun and looks great. Old Bones however is bigger, better, and its balanced.

Well they're both pretty good. I enjoy the level design of Old Bones a lot more, but Raven Down is more interesting, in a way. There are no other maps that spawn you so tightly together with the enemy, or so far away from half of your team. It has a very different sort of flow and feel to combat than all of the other Gears of War maps.
Old Bones is more typical of Gears of War, and seems to me to be a small to medium size really--it only seems so large after playing Raven Down, but when you really size it up with the other maps it's average. The courtyard area is dangerous, with two key weapon possitions to fight over (sniper and boomer)--as well as two sets of frag grenades.
The rebalancing of frags is significant enough to make them far less dangerous, but they can still be effective. Perhaps now that tagging isn't all it used to be, people might actually start throwing grenades in Gears of War.
Neither of these two new maps is a new favorite, personally, but that speaks of the quality of the initial ten maps more than anything else. I enjoy them, and I appreciate the hookup!
