I just tried to play Gears 2 online after playing Resistance 2 and my god was I suprised! There are so many things wrong with it and I don't even think the problems are fixable with a patch :S Try playing a game that runs perfectly online, like resistance 2, COD4 etc and then try and play Gears 2 lol you will see what I mean!

This is a typical Gears 2 match

I know the single player was good but what else do lemmings see in the game, apart from the graphics?

Its really a differnt type of game, much smaller team oriented, resistance is just like bf2 for ps3 but with aliens. I know its not really, but bf2 is far more similar then any game i can think of, big maps, broken up squads and such.

edit: it takes way too long for some matches to start though, the screen saver will actually go while wait, when it dims...

If you have 85,000 kills on it, surely there is something about the game you like, so please share it with me instead of trying to have a pop at me! Thanks

I find the game fun, I said it, FUN. Multiplayer has some bugs, doesn't make the game unplayable, and you absolutely blow the bugs out of proportion. Are they annoying? Yes. Does it ruin the experience? Rarely. Tell me, did you play with friends, or just go into some random match online? Cause ether way, people still play it online, so the general masses must have some fun with it ay some point.

The legend, PS_John himself. I agree Gears 2 is horrible. Worst online game ever. Wanna get on our half broken 360's and chat about it? I think mine is about to RROD in like 30min so hurry up.

I was just searching around on youtube and I noticed this

"resistance 2 lag" video results 1 - 20 of about 71

"gears of war 2 lag" video results 1 - 20 of about 446

The funny thing is, most of the resistance 2 videos aren't even about lag where as the gears 2 ones are (judging by the video titles)

I can't believe people actually post in your threads and even read your garbage. If I wanted garbage I'd go outside and stick my face in my garbage can. No thanks, fission mailed.

you have to remember though resistance uses dedicated servers, so only your connection matters, gears people host, and if there connection sucks, well then it sucks for everyone.

This is flawless

Like that time you used a RE5 trailer and proved that based on the space 30 seconds of video took the full game would never fit on a DVD9

I know, it's strange that a free service uses dedicated servers for some games but XBL doesn't even use them for their top games :S What does the money people spend on XBL go towards exactly?

in this case, more people playing means more people connecting to the same servers, there is a potential lag increase. Those numbers sound horrible scued. Didnt r2 sell 1mil?

you have to remember though resistance uses dedicated servers, so only your connection matters, gears people host, and if there connection sucks, well then it sucks for everyone.

live uses dedicated servers to connect people, usually are much better than that of sony. But as for the dedicated servers, the companys have the option of using microsofts servers, or using each person's as host, epic chose to let each person as host. Im almost positve that ps3 either each game company has to supply their own servers, or let people host them, but sony doesnt supply any servers. I know a while back on the original xbox, there was some people complaining about how ea used their own servers instead of m$ so they could shut down older versions of madden and force people to upgrade to be able to play online. I know, it's strange that a free service uses dedicated servers for some games but XBL doesn't even use them for their top games :S What does the money people spend on XBL go towards exactly?

wow i suck at posting, reverse those quotes kthx

That makes zero sense. Having a gamertag doesn't prove you have an xbox, it proves you have a gamertag. You can create one on a PC in 5 mins to use on the stupid Games For Windows Live games. If you didn't want people to "invade your privacy" then don't post your gamertag.
