It’s been a long road of evolution for Gears 2 multiplayer (and Bleszinski admitted that it was a little bumpy at first) but thanks to the input from fans, the team at Epic was able to work on the multiplayer - providing a smoother experience.
According to Bleszinski:
Considering Epic is hard at work on Gears of War 3, it’s refreshing to see the company truly interacts first-hand with feedback from players - and is willing to make revisions to a previous title.
News of the sixth title update was posted on the Epic Forums before it was posted anywhere else, and I think it emphasizes the relationship Epic has developed with its core fanbase.
Truer words have never been said. An early rapport with gamers could make the difference when a successful programmer graduates and looking at job offers.
In either case, it’s good to see a game company interacting with fans - and most importantly, taking the feedback to heart.
