Annex mode for GoW glitched with more slow gears?

Seems like Annex mode for Gears of War needs a bit of oil and lubricant: the April 9 update's gears are glitchy. And although release notes for the patch specifically include that Epic Games has "Adjusted Roadie Run: Reduced frequency of accidentally grabbing cover while running," Xbox360fanboy reports that most of the people they've talked to say that the opposite thing is actually happening.

To quote them: "Roadie running now feels like you have fourteen gallons of Elmer's glue smothered over your body causing you to stick to every wall and object when running."

Movement glitches don't seem to be the only thing bugged. There're still some weapon-related craziness going on. While Xbox360fanboy reports that a couple of YouTube vids have already surfaced showing these kinds of glitches, we took the liberty of fishing them out. One such vid is posted below:

Now we ask: are your Gears running ok? Neither Microsoft nor Epic Games have given any statement about trying to fix the bugs - and neither of them have even given any word about acknowledging that there are glitches in the first place. We've checked the Major's blog and even he seems to have no word on the issue. Meanwhile, just stick around for more updates... LOL! Stick around, literally, to every wall, car, post, barrel, or building in the Annex!

This story sucks? This story rocks!

its not just on Annex its on all the other game modes. It happened to me on Warzone. It has something to do with messing up an active and jumping toward stairs then you fall through the map and it looks like you're still in the battlefield. You can get out you just have to keep moving and trying to climb up things.

Those kids ARE NOT 17.

# really? — Guest 2007-04-11 17:11

that dont explain him running soo fast tho. only why they cant see them.

Every time they patch this game it only gets worse. It's so full of bugs I don't even play anymore. I have no faith in epic these days. Yayaya I must suck, and I must be a fanboy, and I must not understand the beauty that us gears. But you couldn't spot a good shooter if M$ and Cliffy bonehead shoved it up your ass and it popped out your eyeballs. Now go play your precious GoW

That video is lame! He fell through the map QJ, while trying to jump up the ledge in the warehouse. Add that to your post! That has always been in the game.

# . — Guest 2007-04-11 17:46

QJ please fix your article. That glitch has been in the game since it was released. The patch did not bring that glitch. Don't trust your news to 12 year old kids.

# I somewhat agree... — Shatterdome 2007-04-11 18:42

I'm a huge fan, but it sucks that they fix one thing and screw up another.

I can tell you from experience it's not that you stick to things more, they did actually reduce the amount that you stick. It's just more often then i'd like, when you do get stuck to a wall, it's impossible to get unstuck...

However, i almost never get stuck diving over ledges at weird angles now...and weapon slide and roadie run are gone....so I can't complain TOO much....oh yeah, and they finally made the boomshot worth picking up...

# Dummying — Guest 2007-04-11 21:24

What he did was the 'dummy' glitch a bottle next to the ledge in the wharehouse and climb over it or get an active reload and jump over at the same time. it places your dummy body under the map and somehow you can run really fast above the map but no one can see you

# no probs here — Guest 2007-04-11 21:29

ive not had any such problems when i play gears so i dont know what the problem is.....

# i agree — Guest 2007-04-11 23:02

i have had no problems with the game either, as far as the roadie run you just have to adjust...... i think it's a lot better now

# thats easy — Guest 2007-04-12 10:13

iknow how to do that its called dummying urself

# I aggree — Guest 2007-04-12 10:48

I completely aggree with you. the Glitchiest game ever made just got glitchier. I was amazed how many times I was sucked into cover while running to get the boomshot on mausoleum... A routine that I have done hundreds of times without fail... until now. The game is great, don't get me wrong... It's too glitchy to play now. Thank you, epic, for providing a wonderful game.. then completely destroying it with sloppy coding.

# Yeah — Mdubz 2007-04-12 11:39

This is most definitely reallllllllllll llly old. QJ get your act together.

# ... — Guest 2007-04-12 12:04

I dont like the new updates at all. I think the shotgun got weaker and so did the pistol. But the worst thing is the cover sytem sucks now. I keep on getting stuck on walls and get glitches were I try to leave cover but seem to slide back into that position and stay stuck there.

# LET GOOD THINGS STAY GOOD — Guest 2007-04-12 12:09

i loathe this new update annex....its cool but its not the best thing ever, but the sacrifices to get annex are rediculous the sticking & YES YOU DO STICK TO STUFF MORE, the boomshot sucks now it shouldnt down people someone said its worth picking up now, it always was learn how to aim & think where the enemy is going & ull be fine but now if ure like 10 feet away u get downed thats gay as anything, the weapon pickup now, how it tells u what team picked up the weapon, i see no point for that but thats me i guess, so what did we really get from this? & they messed with the shotgun i cant win a shotgun battle to save my life now & that used to be all i used & got 15 kills in a 8 round match now i cant kill anyone with it, LEAVE STUFF ALONE this update has made me wanna sell my gears its that bad, PLEASE epic give us back what we had before i would take the glitchers over this stuff to be honest, then u just find people u like playing with & stick with them but now even if u are playing with friends the game still sucks that u get stuck & stuff, so in closing this update was LAME i wish i could roll back

# asasas — Guest 2007-04-12 14:48

It's a "glitch" these kids did intentionally. It was not the updates fault, more faulty news from QJ.

# n/a — Guest 2007-04-12 20:58

I've started the game without a weapon.

I had to select one. That is new...ha - ha

# Hey now... — Mister Common Sense 2007-04-12 21:13

Take it easy, that was me in the video! And don't worry, I had my moms permission to play gears.

BTW, how do y'all like my 13" TV?!! She sure is a beauty, ain't she?

# .. — Guest 2007-04-13 08:12

Yeah i've fallen through that map from going up the ramp inside the hanger.

This was since the Annex update but it was possibly in the game before, i just never encountered it.

# "glitchiest game ever made" ? — Guest 2007-04-17 17:23
