Bowing to intense community pressure, The Coalition has officially announced the addition of a PvP multiplayer mode to the upcoming Gears of War: E Day Open Beta. The studio's developers initially limited the early access trial to only cooperative experiences, to which gamers across the country, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, expressed strong disapproval. Now the gaming studio has made this classic multiplayer mode a part of the beta version at the request of fans.
Fan outrage and studio decision
For Pakistani fans who are old fans of this shooter game on old Xbox consoles, the multiplayer matches are the lifeblood of the series. The removal of the feature from the initial trial led to strong reactions from fans both locally and internationally on social media. Fans said that any trial is incomplete without head-to-head matches to test the true capabilities of the servers.
New situation for Early Access players
If you've got Early Access for this weekend's trial, your download list will now include this new multiplayer option. You will be able to enjoy quality competitive matches in it. Given the slow internet speed in Pakistan, it is better to update your files beforehand.
- Mandatory check for all console updates before starting gameplay.
- Ensure at least forty GB of free space in your hardware.
- Connection delay is expected due to heavy rush on the servers on the first day.
What should you do now?
All gamers who want to be a part of this trial should complete their downloads at night to avoid network congestion during evening hours. Start the update process on time keeping in mind the packages of your internet service provider.
What to look forward to
All eyes are now on whether these hastily added servers can handle the load of players from around the world. The real picture of weapon balance and server speed will emerge only after the matches begin this weekend.
