No, none of the fixes lower the Seriously 3.0 requirement to 'put the disc in'

With the release of the fourth DLC pack, Forces of Nature, coming to Gears of War 3 in just over a week, it was clearly high time for another round of fixes for the title. Today, Epic has released the patch notes for the fourth title update for their hit third-person shooter.

IMPROVEMENTS

Savage Drone and Savage Grenadier can now “swat” turn in Beast mode
Spectator mode now starts viewing a player instead of a battle camera
Alternate control users in multiplayer will no longer look at DBNO characters when pressing R3
The crosshair for the Longshot and Hammerburst will now show an X if a shot is obstructed.
KOTH – ring locators are now visible in spectator mode
KOTH – some hill locations have been adjusted

BUG FIXES

The Onyx Guard decoy in Horde will not drop his rifle after exhausting the Vulcan ammo
Clients will no longer be stuck with a “Waiting For Players” message up if the host quits Horde during the progression screen
Chainsaw audio loop will now persist for listeners who leave the audible range and re-enter it
Fixed some instances where special event ribbons would not be properly awarded
COG pistol firing rate has been adjusted to be equal on host and clients
The Flaming Retro Lancer is now available for attendees of the first special event
Fixed some issues fixed related to the destruction of meatbags
The Slab start up screen no longer has debug text
After a host migration in Horde, the waves will no longer go past 50
Cover near the elevator on Hotel no longer allows players to lean outside of the visible area
Grenade throwers that are killed mid-throw will receive credit for any kills that grenade causes
Silverback will be disabled if hit by a smoke grenade when the driver is in the middle of the exit animation
Team Deathmatch time limit no longer resets to 3 minutes when both teams are out of respawns
Title Update 4 will go live tomorrow, March 20th, at 2:00 AM PT. As with all title updates, you will be prompted to download it the next time you load up your game after the patch is released.

So the first special event after the update drops or is this removing part of TU1 and giving those who played in the first week the Flaming retro as it was originally coded on disc?

Cool, a fix is usually a good thing. If we bought the season pass is forces of nature free or are we all done with the content the pass gets you?

Love the improvements. But maybe more events would be nice.
Achieving is something that everyone has to do at some point in life. Does it matter what?

I still think they should lower the requirements for Skunker onyx but that's not a big deal. I'm glad they are still remaining to improve and fix the game.

Nice work epic and am one of the many who will be itching to get away from work to play forces of nature dlc, and like the longshot and hammerburst obstruct idea can better call out my shots now.

Good to see more fixes, especially for the Snub which at the moment seems to stutter and not fire when you want it to :D

EPIC should be ashamed for not fixing the horde bugs by now. There's one when you are the host and get knocked out of the silverback which makes your camera weird and then your character moves incorrectly. Which does not reset it self, you need to leave the game. Theres another one when some people die or you try to start a new wave after everyone dying on the overpass map which does not allow some or all people in the game to rejoin and another bug which starts a game of horde and theres no enemies spawning to fight. Theres a lot of arcade campaign bugs which need fixing to. 4 title updates and they are still fixing inane problems which nobody thinks are a problem. Finally they need to implement a punishment system to freeze out all the quitters in horde matches. In 4 games 13 people quit and its not down to map selection because they picked them.

vikingbloodlust said:they need to remove silverback completely from rustlung...then i will be happyConsidering it's just one map, it's not that big a deal if you ask me. Especially considering it's so easy to avoid.

As usual they are keeping up with the fixes, even before I noticed half of these problems.
You seem a little furious...
