Yeah that's right the game is a lag fest and broken,i tried yesterday to play territories and i never got into a match it shows only that it found the players but nothing happened same with elimination,i get to play Horde mode and is a lag fest,i don't know how epic games have the face to release new maps instead of fixing the darm multiplayer,i think is better to milk your fanbase than fix the game.

I haven't played Gears 2 but I can say that the majority of console games I have played online have been lagfests. Thats what you get with a lack of dedicated servers.

I haven't played the game for a week or 2. I didn't have any problems the last time I played it tho. Never had a problem with Horde because I play it with friends (that live nearby) only.

Sometimes you get a good game, sometimes you get a lag fest. It's a problem.

You're right, I used to game with 512k fine, now I have 10mb. You're not transferring that much data (atleast to my knowledge), it's more about upload speeds.

Maybe the guys at epic don't play Gears2, that would make me lol. Come on epic fix it.

Now i have a theory, they released the 1st patch that did NOTHING un purpouse, so they could make us think they repared(beeing a patch and all), the placebo effect:shock: lulz :lol:

Not knocking xbl, ok well maybe a little just because i find paying for service should be free, but also gets me mad that developers know there's something wrong with the game not just Gears but I've had problems in L4D,Gears2, and even MGO(until they finally fixed it) I just wish they'd acknowledge and fix it sooner.

Matchmaking wasn't too bad for me. It only took 15-30 seconds usually. Sometimes more, but never long enough for me to get annoyed. I dunno. Seems to be random. People having problems that is. Some people get them. Some don't.

You know how much it costs them to run said service? Paying them what you do is actually a very small fee when compared to the costs.

This is why PSN should also be charging a fee to use it as well as playing online with a PC. Charging a fee would also likely reduce pirates as well because companies can better ensure a legitimate copy of the game is being used. I think $40 to $50 a year is a fair price for what you get.

I could see PSN having a fee if it had a few more features, but PC gaming is up to the game developers. You already pay for internet on a PC, and most non-MMO PC games let the users run their own servers. So essentially, most PC game devs pay nothing to keep that part of their service running. Others, like Blizzard, have something like Battle.net. But being on BNet you might notice it has a fair number of ads thrown about from time to time. On top of that, their games sell well enough that they can cover the costs based on sales alone. The same goes for ArenaNet and Guild Wars. With XBL and PSN however, running this service is up to Sony and Microsoft. Directly, they can't run it based on profit from game sales. Thats why Microsoft charges for XBL and why PSN has fewer features.
