That's it, I'm done with Gears of War

I just can't take it anymore. Video games are my stress reliever, the one thing that keeps my mind off my troubles in the real world. I wasn't feeling very happy earlier for reasons I won'tgo into so I put Gears of War in my 360. I join a 17 round game. From the first round both teams are glitching like crazy. They're going out of the map on my team, and on the other team doing the crab walking glitch... the bullet lag was atrocious. Worse than usual. And lucky me, I just seemed to run into the host shotgun everytime. The friggin' idiots on my team are friggin staying out of the map so long we had to wait for a draw every friggin' round.

Add all that plus there were like to annoying kids on my team with high pitched voices. "If they're glitching we're glitching!" Well, you blanking idiot, you started glitching first so why do you think they're glitching? Behold, the appitimy of Gears of War online; terrible bullet lag, horrible host advantage, extremely easy access glitching, plus those occasional blanking annoying little kids. Seriously, a blanking retarded monkey could do these glitches they're so easy. EPIC, you've failed to construct a solid online experience and as an avid online gamer with actual standards, I refuse to support your game any longer until you fix this crap. Even if I have to wait for Gears of War 2 for you to understand that blanking dedicated servers are needed.

So that's it, I'm done with Gears of War. Done. What do you care if I'm not playing Gears anymore? You don't. What you should care about is the future of online games. If it takes years for developers to understand this crap is unacceptable, then we're in for trouble. Let's just take a moment to thank the Warhawk devs for establishing huge amounts of dedicated servers, waking up the world of online console gaming. PC gaming never looked better right about now too. From what I hear many of their games have had dedicated servers for years now...

Sounds almost as bad as Socom II although I keep playing it despite the glitchers and other problems.

I was done after 5 rounds. Infact, I didnt even finish the game ... ZzzzzzMeu2k7

:lol:

I haven't had many problems with online. It may lag, but nothing seious for me. The onliy bad thing is that I keep getting the loosing connection screen.

Gears of War's multiplayer is nothing more then a glitchy, laggy, cheat-fest. Too bad, because it started out so well.Bansheesdie

Gears was a lot of fun when player didn't quite also, and when the gamers were actually balanced. If you go online now its too much of a one sided battle, the game will will end up like 10-3 or whatever your playing to.

I concur.

Yeah, I know there are serious issues in Gears multiplayer, but the majority of the time it is a great experience. You just have to learn how to avoid games like that. Just quit, and find a game with mature gamers.

Although, the fact that Epic hasn't been able to fix all these glitches, is downright unacceptable. They said they fixed it a long time ago, but all they did was change how the glitches worked (and created some new ones sadly). I mean how hard could it be to patch up the game so all the major glitches were completely gone?

Yeah that's why I sold it earlier this month. The online isn't really that great. It's close to terrible in my opinion. If they could greatly reduce the bullet lag and put together a much more robust match making system (like being able to join match making games with friends), it'd be a lot better.

But I sold it and figured that Rainbow Six: Vegas could hold me off on my online needs until Halo 3 comes out.

I play it with my buds and it's fine. You need to stop playing random games with hosts that have crappy connections.BioShockOwnz

that's what i started doing. at first the online was so good, but then the 10 year olds came in and screwed everything up, like with every other online game.

Its nearly impossible to find a game that is equally matched on both sides and were noone glitches or cheats, and even harder to find one that is not laggy. If you can find that though, it is an enjoyable experience.

I just......DA_B0MB

Friends list is your friend.... :shock:

gears is ultra camp. i played match once that lasted just over an hour. becuase everyone was staying back camping.anshuk20002

When I do play multiplayer I only play with friends on my friends list. Most of the time I do the co op story.... :shock:

Halo 2 is such a better game online. Actual rankings give you close matches most of the time and lag is minimal despite not having dedicated servers. The lag is actually *tolerable*. The only thing Gears of War has on Halo 2 is the ability to choose what map you want to play one, which doesn't mean much in the end if the online gameplay is broken. DA_B0MB

Without a doubt. Its something about Gears basic gameplay that doesn't transfer well into an online experience. The slower paced tactical action of the campaign isn't implimented in Gears online. Its almost like Gears is trying to be Gears and Unreal at the same time when your online.

Anyone else find it funny that this he is talking like Epic Games is going to read what he put?

TC. Epic Games doesn't just sit on there arses all day saying "Nope, we're not going to attempt to fix this game." ? You know what, after one match of insanity, and you give up the whole game? You don't deserve to play it in the first place then. I hope your 360 breaks the day they do fix the problems.Warlock89

I wasn't actually talking to EPIC :|. If I wanted to adress them I would have wrote a letter or emailed something but I'm sure they've heard the same complaints a million times before.

Playing with friends always makes it better. Having a fast connection helps, but I've played with FiOs guys before and it never brought the bullet lag less than a quarter second delay which is still bad. I'd rather just wait for a correctly created online game to play with/against my friends, such as Warhawk or Halo 3.

Ohand now that I think of it, I've never ever played with anyone in an online game from Gamespot in my two years here. I gotta get on that. :?

Warhawk anyone? :D

so youre done with it because you lost? because of the little kids? or because of the lag?

do you like any game on xbox live??

I have fallen asleep while playing gears before. They call it Gears of Bore for a reason. True story.

Anway you should have just left the game. You do have that option you know. I only play gears with people on my friends list or with people who aren't glitching and have a decent conection. If I join a game and they are glitching, the connection sucks or are just plain bad at the game I leave. Simple as that.

I enjoyed Gears for what it was, but as soon as I played Halo 3 beta I had no desire to play it anymore

The most annoying thing? THE DAMN BROKEN MELEE.

Because of constant losses for dumb reasons. I don't lose because I'm bad, I lose because I'm glitched. Bullet lag doesn't help either. I realize there will always be little kids on XBL but that just helped push me over the edge with Gears. And to answer your question, I love Halo 2. I still play it today.

i play a bit of rainbow six vegas online from time to time, and there are less kids messing things up. lag is usually minimal also.

you should check it out if its your kind of game. peace brda.

Mmmm i love ps3 games no lag at all onlineSully28

Thats all down to your connection and has nothing at all to do with the console in question. But yer Gears of War online would be such a great thing if it wasn't for the immature kids in my opinion.
