That is why I chose not to buy an XBOX 360. Games cant be patched.f789790

They can, and often are.

That's exactly what I'm going to do, hold myself out until Halo 3. Warhawk and Halo 2 will do that just fine.

Bullet lag in the game is ridiculous.

I was playing with some nublers yesterday and they were saying that there isn't any lag or host advantage because their team was winning - I joined but didn't get to play the first round, the changed soon after though. I beat them, mainly with the sniper and they say that it's because of lag. :lol:

I can't believe the online play is so shallow too, it basically consists of killing the other team before they kill you. Every damn time, maps aren't particular interesting, everyone swaps to shotgun at the beginning of the round. No customization, no original game modes... No nothing.

9.6 my ass. In NO game should you have to shoot so far ahead of whoever you're trying to kill in order to compensate for lag. In every damn game.

That's almost how Resistance is online. I hate those kids with high-pitch voices. They should include some kind of audio filter to detect high pitched 10-year-olds who shouldn't be playing.

[QUOTE="anshuk20002"]gears is ultra camp. i played match once that lasted just over an hour. becuase everyone was staying back camping.Heil68

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:

Yet we have never played :(

Dude! Your always playing Bomberman or some weird game, Carconnes or something? :(

I haven't played Gears in months because Epic can't seem to get the bugs out of this game.

Yeah, the game used to be so fun when it first came out. Then everything went down hill from there.

1) Glitching

2) Host advantage used way too much

3) Updated Boomshotbecame too godly, thusbecoming like another Halo Rocket Launcher

looking forward to warhawk where msot of that is fixed, maybe not the anooying kidssimulation
yes the warhawk devs have said there will be almost no lagg and that is expected becuase after all it is an online only game....but also i've found that psn users are overall more mature then the live users.

Ive played Gears online and i can say the same thing, people wer glitching every wer so i couldnt hit them, i was fine but every1 else was lagging insane.

Thats why I always play when at least one of my friends is on and willing to play it.  So one of us can host and kick any glitchers or little annoying kids.  But if you host a game with none of your friends coming, it takes soooooooo long for someone to join

Yeah, Gears online is terrible. And the single player is none too impressive either. It's like dating a really hot dumb chick.

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...

LMAO sounds just like my expearience with that game lol these 2 british kids liek 9 years old were screaching into the mic. an would not be quiet, also sum1 on my team gliched ontop of a crate and got stuck, and the enemy oculd not ifnd him so we sat waiting and waiting, also the shotgun is soo abused, and the lag is so bad, and the internet connection was high speed, gears online sucks sooo bad, not to mention the short SP that game is only shiney, and thats it, even the shine gets annoying, also online when the textures take about 30 seconds to loadon everything, dam this game is sooo over rated

The game needs matchmaking.

Even if it's only for ranked I mean, sometimes I'll spend ages looking for a game or something. It's frustrating. I can't wait for Halo 3 to release, playing the beta then going back to Gears. It was just so horrible in comparison.

In every single way. To me at least.

Play with friends. If some annoying kids come in, just trash talk or ingore them until they stop talking. Also I don't know why everyone plays so many glitchers. I don't find many and if I do I just tell my team about it, since most glitches aren't that hard to counter.

I see that you have a Wii (looking at yours sig)

I have found out that the Wii is a much better stress reliever than the PS3 and 360.

Exactly the same here man. :D Honestly, after getting 10,000 and watching the "seriously..." achievment pop up i thought "wow... why am i even playing this game?"

It made my blood boil. So i started playing Rainbow Six (which i'd beat on single player and had sitting on the shelf untouched for months) and it's probably one of the best multiplayer games i've ever played. It's a pity the PS3 version is so laggy and glitchy, because more people need to know how awesome it is.

On the 360 at least, it's amazing. I wish people would stop playing crap like Gears and get into a REAL game like R6.

You let little kids get under your skin in multiplayer games? Leave the match, dont use your headset and listen to music.

The crazy thing is, I get lag while playing 8 player Gears, yet 14 player R6 is lag free. Sure there is some host advantage(always will be), but it's much more balanced.

Vegas was a diamond in the rough for me, never really liked the R6 games, but now I'm already a colonel. I think they headed the series in the right direction.
