The second Gears of War 2 title update has been unleashed, and it fixes a whole hosts of exploits whilst making overall improvements to online play.

The patch was expected to be coming soon after yesterday’s reports detailing some new multiplayer achievements.

The patch notes are very long, almost as long as long a World of Warcaft’s, but not quite.

Gears of War 2 should auto-update next time you play the game.

Git some.

Gears of War 2 global product manager Guy Welch announced that the man-shooter has sold over 4 million copies in its first two months on the market.

This figure is double that of the first game, which sold 2 million during that period.

“The original Gears of War was the fastest-selling next-generation game of 2006, selling more than 2 million units worldwide that Holiday, and now well over 5 million copies sold to date,” said Welch.

“With Gears of War 2, the game has sold over 4 million units in the first two months, doubling the pace of the original.”

Thanks, GameDaily.
