Gears 2 online still annoys me!

NO, it isn't because of the weaker shotgun or the tag grenades...i find those changes much better and balanced. Its the wait of connecting and then ONCE connnected you still end up with lag and matches don't last long enough, including the fact you can't QUIT from a match in progress...wtf?

I swear most of the time i play gears 2 i see more conncecting screens then gameplay ones. I can't beleive epic added matchmaking, people should choose who they want to connect with. Atleast with HALO 3 bungie added a "good connection" option.

I said to my self i will get use to it and things will improve, it hasn't. I find my self going back to gears 1.  for the wait of connecting, you would atleast expect matches to last a lot longer...gsus. 

And know i won't blog it, i don't blog. 

thoughts? 

ITs funny becase, when the game is not laggy and is able to find players eaisly, its amazing online.. If only Epic Would fix this crap then we wouldn't have any problems, but we have to wait for a patch.

I was trying to play Wingman the other day, it took 25 Mins to find 1PERSON!!!, then i connect to territores and in 5mins i find 4 players?!!, WTF?!!!, are you serious epic?

But all in all, when i get a match going its awesome

Epic/microsoft are working of a patch for the matchmaking issues as we speak.

this problem isn't affecting every owner though(doesnt take me 30 mins to get into a game..max i ever had to wait was 10). i tend to get into games alot faster when im in a full party.

Yeah I agree. When Gears 2 works, it's awesome. I love how the shotgun is only for very close combat now, and you can't just go running into certain places with the danger of grenades tagged. Once the patch comes out, I'll throw more time into it. Until then, I just picked up a copy of Banjo, and I still have Resistance 2 and LBP to beat:D-Sniper99-

^^^ very true

Epic has to hurry up and fix the chainsaw and shotgun issue. alot of people are starting to notice this problem and take advantage of it

It's a good thing there are player matches.

If you don't have friends, it's a good thing there are bots, which on insane are better than most people online..

I don't have Gears 2 but I hear my friend complaining about some sort of lag switch that somebody uses to get the advantage2-10-08

Weird.  It is kinda random for me.  A few times it will find players in a matter of seconds.  Other times it takes upwards of 5 minutes.  Of course, I only play Horde.  Haven't played anything else.

But yes, Halo 3 online is much better in terms of set-up.
