On the other hand, Judgement has seen the return of the VIP Pass, Lost Relics Playlist, and some achievements. The moderator also verified the recent changes by firing up both games to ensure it was not just a hunch or a false alarm. Many players have also confirmed the server changes by loading up GOW 3 and Judgement after many years of dormancy.

To simplify what has actually occurred in the recent changes, a specific server that was previously offline is now available again, which keeps track of configurations like weapon balance, playlists, XP boosts, achievements, and other similar things. Both Gears of War 3 and Judgement were playable without this server, but the games would default to launch values, and its absence would reset the entries to the time when they first came out.

Thus, it has inspired many gamers to revisit the servers, whether it’s to enjoy matches with XP boosts and playlists or grind out the arguably tedious achievements in both games. Reverting the servers to the updated state has opened up many possibilities for gamers, and it makes it much more enjoyable to play multiplayer matches in both Gears of War 3 and Judgement. The time span for the reverted changes is also currently unknown.

Gears of War 3 is a highly popular third-person shooter developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 in 2011. Gears of War: Judgement is a spin-off and a prequel to the franchise that seemingly appears to be the same game as GOW 3, but it makes a set of changes to the multiplayer experience, adds a new Overrun mode and class system, and more. It was released for the Xbox 360 in 2013.
