Obligatory BOOM! goes here.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the big highlights include a new spectator mode for versus matches, easier requirements for some medals and mutators, and the Combat Engineer ribbon now works properly (yessssss).<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a \u201cpotential fix\u201d for the bug that corrupts profiles and wipes player progress, which does sound a bit less promising than \u201cfix\u201d but it\u2019s probably better than nothing.<\/p>\n<p>The full list, then:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A spectator mode option has been added to private versus matches for broadcasting by gaming leagues.<\/li>\n<li>One player on each team will be able to choose spectator mode during match set up.<\/li>\n<li>The matches will be 4v4 with two spectators<\/li>\n<li>The Leader and Vengeful medals are now easier to acquire.<\/li>\n<li>The mutators Roadie Comet and Regen Enemies are now easier to acquire.<\/li>\n<li>Added an option to disable the HUD during multiplayer games for machinima and video creators<\/li>\n<li>Added a visual indicator of the next ring\u2019s location during the last 10 ring points in KOTH.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Exploit Fixes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Onyx Field Engineer medal can no longer be prestiged.<\/li>\n<li>In Capture the Leader, the overhead Beams on DryDock are no longer accessible.<\/li>\n<li>While affected by the Smoke Grenade stun, players will no longer be able to take hostages, pick up weapons or revive teammates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>General Fixes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If there is a host migration during Horde, the match will resume at the same wave.<\/li>\n<li>Also during Horde, the Combat Engineer ribbon can now be achieved once per wave instead of once per game.<\/li>\n<li>The Ranked Disconnect stat will no longer increase when quitting a standard Horde or Beast game.<\/li>\n<li>The cringe from the Mortar will no longer cause players to drop their primary weapon.<\/li>\n<li>The Hail Mary ribbon is now correctly awarded for long distance Boomshot headshots.<\/li>\n<li>Maps will no longer be immediately repeated when choosing random map selection.<\/li>\n<li>If the host pauses during a private versus match the game will continue for other players.<\/li>\n<li>The game will still pause in the Campaign, Beast and Horde.<\/li>\n<li>Potential fix for the rare lost progress issue.<\/li>\n<li>Potential fix for the rare profile freezing issue.<\/li>\n<li>Beast leaderboard screen no longer refreshes while sending challenges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/gears-of-war-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25771
