Double Dipped Gears of War 2 Complement Sandwich

Gears of War has sold 4 million copies making it the most sold XBOX title behind HALO 1 and 2. GoW is the best selling game for the XBOX 360. I can't help but think that this game would have sold even more copies had it shipped with objective-based gametypes and had a few glitches fixed.
