Gears of War 2 is a rushed pile of poo

Another example of pathetic developers looking to cash in instead of releasing a game that is actually finished.

The online portion is nothing short of borken. Unbalanced weapons, lag, server connection issues, and matchmaking issues just to name a few problems.

Now we have to wait 3-6 months for a patch? Are you joking me?

do you even have Gears? Two patches were released already to improve matchmaking.

And btw you realize that your entire arguement rest on your personal interpretation of what 'balanced' weapon means?

I think this thread is the rushed pile of poo.

Gears 2 is awesome, but the matchmaking IS broken. However the actual gameplay works fine, it's vastly improved from Gears 1.locopatho

Don't get me started on MM and lag issues...gsus.

match making speeds improved. They didnt fix all the issues, but they show that Epic is actively working on MM issues.

The weapons are unbalanced. Frags have an instant detonation if they're tagged on a wall and a huge blast radius, Inks are fine, and smokes lead to too many glitches. A stunning effect like the first game had with frags would've been nice, instead of the glitched ragdoll effects that the smoke has. The Chainsaw is ridiculous. Pumping shotgun shots into someone at point-blank, but watching them chainsaw you anwyay, as well as the vortex that they added to help "make the chainsaw stronger" are ridiculously broken. Boomshot needs less ammunition to compensate for the increased damage and bigger blast radius. The shotgun is more or less balanced, needs some minor tweaks (range tweaks, host tweaks especially). The rest of the weapons just need some minor tweaks, nothing major that anyone could've really saw before release.

The lag is a huge issue that I'm hoping they resolve, XBL's P2P system is to blame for the most part. They need to switch host control to a player in the game though when the host leaves. It's really irritating to see the host disappear and the game just end, none of the stats recorded. Some glitches such as the boomshield glitch (which I use occasionally to mess with my friends/bots in private games), is entertaining but ridiculously cheap, as well as the standby-laggers who turn the game into a lagfest just so they can get cheap kills.Saturos3091

I've owned both Gears 1 and 2. Both are boring, repetitive, derivative, and unnecessary. I must be getting old, because I was not impressed with either...at all.drj077

I'll stay off the normal playlists until epic fixes the chainsaw and just play horde, which is fine because horde is incredibly addictive.JakeTD21

it is a rush pile of poo

i have both but just seems people are suckers for juiced up soilders and guns
