Annex

This article is about the Real World

Annex is a multiplayer mode first released as an update for Gears of War and stock in Gears of War 2.

Rules and Regulations

In this mode there are two teams, the COG and the Locust. If a player gets killed, he will automatically respawn up to 14 seconds later. The respawn time is in intervals. The objective of this mode is to get the appointed score faster than the opposing team. If you have the score you need, you win a round. The team with the most rounds won, wins. To get this score, you need to stand in a circle surrounding a weapon. You can leave the circle once you have claimed it and still be able to score points. The circle will change after a certain amount of time to another weapon on the map. You can only get points if you 'activate' the circle or 'deactivate' the circle from the other team. It doesn't matter how many kills you have, for you receive only 2 points for every kill.
