Looks like this weekend you will be able to play Gears 2 with 4 v 4 and no smoke grenade knockdown.

I think its cool for the gears fan base. They should really ban all level 100 glitchers.

I played a little this weekend and as great it was to have 4 on 4 and no smoke knockdown, it was just as painful to play where one game your shotgun is unstoppable and next time the pellets bounce off your foe as they point and laugh at you.

I have seen a few of the glitchers get the gamerscore ban.  On xbox.com if you click on a cheaters profile it tells you that they are a cheater and their gamerscore is reset to zero.  All of the gamerpoints they accumulated cannot be won back (meaning any game they played before and unlocked achievements for they can go play those games but cannot unlock the achievements they once unlocked). 

At least they are doing something about it.
