Epic Game is still tweaking their Xbox 360 shooter Gears of War 3. They released the fourth title update for the game today in preparation for the upcoming "Forces of Nature" DLC.
"Force of Nature" is a new map pack that will go live on March 27th. "Nature" will also bring back Guardian mode from GoW2. Epic says that this might be the last DLC for the game.
Tomorrow night, Epic will host a live chat through Twitch.TV. Epic Games director of production Rod Fergusson will be discussing the new content included in "Forces." I imagine you'll have a chance to complain to him about any needed fixes not included in Title Update 4, as well.
The full patch notes for the title update are below. You should be prompted to download it the next time you start up GoW3:
