I've said it before and i'll say it again. Gears 1>Gears 2KilIzone3
I can agree with that. The first gears had it's fair share of quitters too though. And the kills you made (for the achievements) didn't count unless you made them in a full lobby. (not sure if they patched that later on tho)

I agree.

Even Gears1 online was horrible and broken.

Gears 2 made it worse.

CO-OP is fun.

And it doesnt help that UE games netcode sucks. They seem to have a horrible host advantage in all UE games.

I agree.... Love Gears... hate the MP in Gears 2.... ugh, it's so F'in Broken it's nearly unbelievable.... it's hard to believe it's so broken by accident.... it seems like EPIC is playing a cruel joke on its fanbase....

I'll probably buy Gears 3 still.... but not in hopes to have a fun MP experience.

wtf!!? :shock:

Gears2 online = 10 players per game?

What's the problem...any more players is overkill in gears.

With the current maps, yes! If they planned the maps better prolly no.

What do you mean with planned the maps better. I like gears as it is, not pointless fragfest ala headquarters in COD or other games.

Geow2's online is good.. forgetting that sometimes it still takes ages to get into a game, the rest is great... Horde mode is so much fun !!!

I also like the maps, they are well sized/designed considering maximum players online totals to 10...

What i mean is that more players would not be overkill if they would plan some maps for larger player ammounts, not making them so small. Yes COD is a pretty pointless fragfest but it does that well and its addicting. I lost interest in Gears 1 MP because of the technical issues and because every match is almost the same: Rush -> BOOM

The MP in Gears 2 is a joke, I paid £40 for this game that is STILL unplayable online.

As for XBL, for what I pay for it could be much better. Throw us europeans a bone every now and again. Lag is rampant on many games. Dont even think about trying to play with people across the pond or in Australia. I was playing Killzone 2 on a mates ps3 with 32 players with no lag, hell R2 has 60 players and that doesnt lag. So if Sony can do it, why cant MS?

I'm lucky enough to be able to play with a party of 4 to 5 most of the time. Its currently alot better online than it was initially but to be brutally honest thats not saying much.

I see, well more options is always better. An extra playlist with more people would be great. The game is fine as it is though, I don't think it really needs it.

i agree that it sucks, but it's not the games fault.

This is it right here. I like the gameplay more in 2 than I do in 1. But the Problems in 2 are far more annoying.

Gears 2 has a good campaign and co-op campaign but online is just sad. Only thing people do is either 2 piece or chainsawpeople don't even try touse they shotgun skill like in gears 1 are any other weapon. Other than that gears 2 doesn't moveas good as gears one everything always feel laggy even if it isn't.

I play gears 1 still over gears 2 and every day more and more people are coming back that just shows you how they messed up gears 2 mp.

Games cheap and unbalanced and runs terribly. How anyone could play it is beyond me.senses_fail_06
i agree, i played gears 1 thought wow why does everyone play this game. when i played it there was barely anyone playing it so i would lose couldn't play with anyone else. one reason why i hate playing games on consoles.

lol at gears 2, in BF2 i have no lag with 64 people, and no1 ever dropsPCgamer687

aw c'mon, you know thats not true.... people drop out all the time in bf2. if a game is full, you can just keep trying and a minute or two later a slot opens up. its just that unlike Gears, if someone drops, another person can take their spot. in gears, once the match begins, you cant fill an empty slot if someone drops

Your venting......just stop.

People drop out of games all the time. Its not exclusive to Gears 2 :roll:

/thread

violent_spinal


Yes, but it's ******* horrible in this game.
My stats are forever ruined because of quitters.

It's a joke how many times I've been the last guy in this game.
Seriously, when I'm getting messages of having people relate to me being the last guy, there's something wrong.
I'm really hoping the next update fixes all the BS in this game. How many updates is it going to take? I don't know. I'll be surprised if there's absolutely nothing wrong after the next one.

Let's not get into all the other problems this game has. :lol:
Luckily, I can tolerate most of them. I'll brush them off, but quitting is unforgivable.

The only reason I play, is when the games are good, they're the best MP I think I've played.

Why do u care about stats they dont do nothing ...LOL

and i have given up on gears online for one its to competive !!!!! and the host has such a atvantage he cant take more shots and his weapons do twice has much damage

its very hard to use the rifle good but iam pretty good at it overall iam just over it

i only like sticking people that was the most fun LOL becasue it was so cheap LOL

When it's 16 vs 16, who cares if a couple people leave. The more dominant players on the side lacking numbers can still accomplish something. With 5 v 5, losing just 1 player is critical, hence why people are complaining about it. See the point? It's not that complicated. Although knowing your past posting history, I see why you're so defensive on this... :roll:

i swear i played for an hour just now and i tell you there is nothing more annoying or frustrating than someone dropping out in the first 5 seconds of a game. i mean this wouldnt make such a difference in cod4 or halo because of the sheer amout of numbers, but 5 v 4 is a HUUUUUUUGE difference, it also more than likely means most of the others who make up your team will leave aswell - making it 5 v 2 or sometimes 5 v 1 which is very fun at all for either team.

really blows.

You'll be happy to know they are fixing this on the 23 ;)

Maybe they could add bot(s) for a dropped player? Losing a player when the numbers are so small does hurt the game experience.

they are, on the patch on the 23rd, they are also adding in a new ranking system that penalizes quitters and is more fun, they are fixing some balancing problems with the smokes and the chainsaw, and people that use lag switches will be detected and banned from the game (for a limited time of coarse), and on the 31st the 2nd map pack will come out with 4 new maps. 3 new ones and fuel depot from gears 1. I assume the 1st map pack will become free at that point.
