Gears of War: Judgment patched, new free DLC available

Gears of War: Judgment got a couple of updates today, with People Can Fly releasing both a title update and stack of new DLC - all for free.

The pack is free thanks to Maxim, for come reason, and contains a new multiplayer mode called Execution mode and a map called Haven.

You cna grab the pack from the Xbox 360 dashboard or via Xbox.com; there's a problem with the in-game prompt.

That's one of the things that was not fixed in the shooter's most recent update, but a bunch of other stuff was. The full patch notes are below, courtesy of CVG.

  • While holding a Meat Shield you will only need to tap B to melee.
  • The Meat Shield will now drop if you switch to the snub.
  • The "Spray and Pray" ribbon can now be earned in the first round.
