New Gears of War MP Mode Explained

07 Apr, 2007, 5:00 pm IST | by Avinash Bali | Console

A couple of days ago we carried a story on the new FREE MP mode, Annex, that would be available with the next Gears of War update and now thanks to an update on the game's official site we now know what the mode is all about:


On the map, a projected ring marks the physical location and boundaries of the objective in the world. The ring's color indicates the current captor: White means neutral, blue COG, and red Locust. To capture an objective, players must stand inside the glowing ring uncontested for a short period of time. How long depends on how many teammates stand in the ring at once. One player can capture an objective in eight seconds, two players in four seconds, three players in two seconds, and four players in one second. Once a team takes an objective, they are not required to remain inside the ring to maintain ownership.

I'm looking forward to this since I always thought GoW MP lacked a nice tactical touch.
