We recently reported on a new Gears of War update that’s either going to be announced, or released sometime in the near future.
Included in the usual bug fixes and general housekeeping will be a new game mode titled: Annex.
Speculation has been abound all throughout the internet, and more specifically on the Epic Games forums. So what exactly is Annex? Nobody quite knows for sure yet, though many users have been looking to the definition of the term "annex" which brings up many definitions that seem to point to a more territory or capture the flag based gameplay mode.
However, a territory based game would be pretty difficult given Gears' one death and your out style gameplay. In a thread on the official Gears forums a user asked a similar question to which Cliffy B himself posted:
