In news that just exploded out of nowhere, Microsoft has confirmed that South Africa now has dedicated servers for Gears of War 3.<\/p>\n
“Dedicated servers now setup in South Africa, Brazil is testing right now. South Korea, Italy, and India in the works,” tweeted Chris Wynn<\/a>, lead producer on Gears of War over at Microsoft Games Studios.<\/p>\n The Gears of War games have always been a little notorious for what scientists call the “Host Shotty Effect”, a phenomenon that granted peer-to-peer matchmaking hosts a slight advantage with the shotgun, instantly generating critically massive amounts of butthurt and ragequitting.<\/p>\n One of Gears of War 3’s big deals was the introduction of dedicated servers to resolve this, but up until now, South Africa was not included in the rollout plan.<\/p>\n Hopefully this should also sort out those long matchmaking times, because honestly, waiting five to ten minutes to get into a game kind of takes the edge off my bloodlust.<\/p>\n Via: Zombie Gamer<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Related Articles:<\/strong> Gears of War 3 Horde DLC video in bloody action<\/a> SA Gears of War 3 dedicated servers are up and at ‘em<\/strong> << Comments and views<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Low pings for everybody!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-xbox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14874\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
