I'm talking about Gears of War. You pay money just so you can play a 4 player online game, that doesn't have dedicated servers, so the host server has the advantage if you lag. Many Gears players already complained about this alot.

When you can have 32 player dedicated online servers with War Hawk, and other PS3 games for free?

Where do all your money towards XboxLIve go?paying 600$ for a bluray player with some game capability go sony go.

GEARs is quite buggy and glitchy online.

Casey you should add this myth to your topic, that Live only support 4 players and that it's laggy. I mean wtf, this is getting tiring. Gears supports only 8 players because it was a developer's choice. Gears was not designed to be played with 16 or more players, so fanboys really have to stop using this flawed logic. Just because Gears has a little host advantage (which should not even be noticeable if you play with people from your contry/area) it does not mean ALL games have lag or whatever. Burnout doesn't lag. Neither does GRAW2. Does Halo 2 lag? It has thousands and thousands playing yet no one complains. Why's that? I thought it was "laggy"? Looks like you're wrong. As usual.

PSN lags as well. If you're playing a match against someone from the USA when you're from Europe you will lag ALWAYS. Because you have to send information to the host and then he has to send it to everyone. It takes TIME doing this, on Live AND PSN. It's not even a second, but it's time and still counts to what you call lag. PSN uses a internet connection so it LAGS also. Anyone with little computer knowledge would know this.

Well, I pay for Live Gold and I dont even play Gears ;) The host advantage is awful, but I'm willing to bet that is more netcode than anything else, because games like PDZ and Call of Duty 3 run very well online.

Because when sony want you to buy their new game, the servers will be closed down....

And to be honest, gears MP was sub par.

Im just pleased I played 1/2 price for my live gold pack, with headset and points.

The very thought of paying to play P2P games online makes me cringe. The headset justified the purchase. The points - meh I got some cool Fallout gamerpics with it.

While XBL is very slick and the interface is great, MS simply cant justfiy the purchase, no matter how well - or badly - games are online.

Some devs just don't test their games properly to work with all the different scenarios on Live.

Good developers do.

So please change your title to "Bad devs make Xbox Live look bad".

Do it and do it now please

Thank you

because a game gets a AA from gamespot doesnt mean that its a flop, if u go read GI GOW and RFOM both got 9.5 so it is a AAA title. Gamespot doesnt determine whether a game is a flop or not, we the players do. And from the looks of it RFOM is selling very well

Gears of war lags. I have good connection and the game constantly lags. The Host has a huge advantage in every match. The bullet lag is ridiculous, its like they just put the online multiplayer together last minute. Every other online 360 game seem to not have this problem. Why everybody defending this game? The online multiplayer has too many glaring flaws to be acceptable, enjoyable, experience. I guess I keep playing halo2 until halo3 comes out. Yes I know halo lags too.

Once Halo 3 comes out people will forget about gears and its gimmicky controls and horrid shottie only gameplay. I gave it a chance online but its too clunky and lags. Halo 3 is gonna make it look bad.

Oh and I have Gears and Resistance. I would say GeoW is definitely a better game but the MP isnt better. Dont get me wrong, GeoW is a great game and I loved it. I played the single player multiple times. But the controls arent conducive to MP. And what we can determine from the gamerankings scores is that GS overrated GeoW and underrated Resistance. Strange.

I think GS was mezmorized by GeoW's graphics for it to warrant a 9.6. And then give Zelda TP an 8.9 and its a 96% on gamerankings? another underrated product from GS

Actually you are right, MS is ripping gamers and they simply don't care about them. In Europe the 1year gold live costs even more, 60EUR, complet **** and nearly every game lags like crap.

For me Gow is simply unplayable on almost every server except some German servers and if playing with my firends which i mostly do, friends who live near me or in the same country and don't come me with crap like get a better connetion, i have 10mbit dl and 10mbit up.

PDZ was the only game so far that had dedicated servers and was far batter playable then anyother 360 game.

4 + 4 = 8 players ;)

Please don't compare War Hawk to Gears, Quality not Quantity.

PS. Its only laggy because the hosts have poo connections or are always downoading something. If you said,"more dedicated servers" i'd have agreed with you.

Gears is only 8 players online because the maps are too small to be even imaginable for more players. If the maps were as huge as Resistance then you'd see more players.

No Xbox live it self is great, but 1 year gold member is not worth the 60EUR in Europe, thats way too much for the laggy crap.

All the (Live) Money goes to GS to over-rate the 360 games like Gears. Did it really deserve GOTY? Plz...

IM PAYING FOR F'ING XBL AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED

Xbox LIVE Service StatusStatus:

Xbox Live user may experience issues logging into Xbox Live, creating/managing user accounts, and purchasing content.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Great so not only did the 1.3gb Stranglehold demo crap out at 99%, but my user login is screwing up, as is marketplace. Wonderful also thats 1.3 less on my 22gb monthly.

Im sick of this **** consoles are supposed to be simple and easy, not error and bug ridden.

I'm talking about Gears of War. You pay money just so you can play a 4 player online game, that doesn't have dedicated servers, so the host server has the advantage if you lag. Many Gears players already complained about this alot.

When you can have 32 player dedicated online servers with War Hawk, and other PS3 games for free?

Where do all your money towards XboxLIve go?

Why complain about the cost?

Most of the time, gamers are getting their money from their parent's credit card.
