What are you complaints about Gears Of War 2?

Obvious ones are..

1. Lag

2. Host advantage

3. Sticky walls

4. Horrible hitboxes/crappy hit detection

5. Magnetic chainsaw, biggest flaw imo. You get chainsaw from 5-8 feet away? You roll away from someone yet, you are still getting chainsawed.

I agree with the Chainsaw being odd. Especailly when theres a hint of lag in the game its very fustrating.

But there is nothing worse than the MULTIPLAYER SEARCH ENGINE~ MY FRIENDS AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT LIKE 10-20MIN.

Sometimes it works, but most of the time I'm stuck at the search screen. Worst I've ever seen.

I haven't found the lag to be an issue. I'd say only about 1 game out of 20 is noticibly laggy.

But i am not a fan of how easy it is to chainsaw people. Yeah they lower it if you shoot them. But if they have it reved for half a second somewhere remotely close to you you get killed.

i h8 the chainsaw so much. Takes no skill at all and when u shoot a guy who is revving his chainsaw he still charges at u w/ it half the time and u get cut 2 bits by someone who should b dead. I know a shotgun blast 2 my chest would stop me from revving a chainsaw.

The only complaint I have about GoW2 is the matchmaking issue right now with finding matches. I was looking at the Epic homepage and they have a blog posted up from a few days ago that makes it seem like the problem is coming from both Epic and Microsoft and it has to deal with TruSkill and Live. While they said a long term fix is still in the works playing in parties of 2 and 5 should work fine and that parties of 1,3, and 4 cause all the problems. Which doesn't help me out one bit as none of my close friends who I regularly play online games with don't play gears and have either moved on to World at War, gotten RROD, or are just playing single player games at the moment. So untill Epic and MS fix this issue I'm going back to Halo 3 and CoD4 sadly haha.

It takes to many shots to make someone put their chainsaw down, the host advantage is stupid and there are a ridiculous amount of glitches. This would have been my favorite game of the year had their not been so many glitches. Hell, I may not have even bothered with this game had I known prior about the glitches.

the only complaint i really have is the inconsistency of the smoke grenade. if you get hit sometimes you're down for like 2 seconds other times you're down for like 15.

Agreed, Multiplayer search engine is terrible. Am about to stop playing because of it. GoW1 was so easy.

crab walking may be back but a new glitch the shield and shotgun combo, its seriously pissing me off
you can't chainsaw them its hard shooting them and then when the games finishedand you lose
they say you suck and shouldn't play the game. is EPIC gonna do squat about this? I'm about to return
gears because of glitchers and the little act tough but can't do anything people.
Does anyone have any tips on killing the shotgun shielders? I only got one today
came from behind him and blew off his head. and chainsawers are getting annoying

whenever these guys make games that are popular, the sequal has to require less skill. nobody wants to play a game they suck at. thats why the shotty is underpowered, the lancer is overpowered, the nades are overpowered, and everything else that takes skills is completely gone now....

I have no complaints at all. I dont get any lag, it doesnt take me long to load a game anymore since the update and its alot mroe fun thn Gears1 was.

I love the new HORDE mode and the fact that the shotgun is a little less powerful is great (its still very useful though). Also King Of The Hill mode is great and the singleplayer is better then gears1 was. Better then gears 1 in every way imo.

When the game first came out i had alot of waiting to join games and it sucked, but since the update its been no problem joining and finding games.

It often happens in Wingman, I saw lots of people without weapons. You know when it happens because you can't see the weapon you have equipped, neither the other players can do.

it would have to be the search engine. i loved gears of war 1 but gow 2 is ridiculous with how long it takes to find an online match. i also hate how the map that gets selected is random and the mode that gets selected also has to be voted on. i only play warzone but in order to play a ranked match on gow 2 there has to be a vote, which in my opinion is ridiculous. it also takes me 10-15 minutes to fine a match. i played horde for awhile because that was the only consistent mode of gameplay but that got old. i could never stop playing gow 1 and now i cant even bring myself to put gow2 in my console

I still haven't played this game but from the many complaints/glitches people are talking about they are very similar to the orginal GoW. Host advantage was a major reason I stop playing the game 6 months after it was released and haven't picked up GoW2. My question is have they fixed any of the glitches from GoW after I know many poeple were complaining or did they simply ignore them because of the popularity of the game?

They jsut announced that they're gonna fix the glitches in the game. But I don't think they can fix the chainsaw thing, its part of the game's engine.

Then stick with the first game if you don't like the changes.

I could not climb a ladder in online co op. Then after a while my character got stuck at the top of the ladder. Both times had to die and revert to checkpoint to get the game moving again.

alot of things cant be fixed overnight, and with this many problems, they are probably still trying to figure out how they can fit it all into the patch. Think, since some people only have a 256mb mem card to save onto, microsoft may only allow a certain amount of space for game patches. But I have a little bit of programing experience, and i know sometimes fixing a few problems can take ALOT of time.

They made the game easier for n00bs and campers and other unsavory gamer types. It's like they looked at Gears 1 and said, hey you know what, what about people who absolutely suck? They should be able to get kills too! Smoke grenades, proximity grenades, mortars with 4 shots..... all of these are great tools for people who don't like a fair fight because they know they will get their asses kicked. Oh and the chainsaw and 2-piece are even easier to do in this game cause blindfire shotty has been crippled. Epic sucks.
