I've had Gears2 for about a month now and haven't had any problems with matchmaking. I've came across the occasionial lag, but nothing too bad.

Gears and Gears 2 has always had bad mp. Sucks because the game is so fun online, but there are so many glitches and technical problems it's not even worth playing. I played it for a few months after it came out then said screw it and started playing Halo 3 again.

i have no problems getting into games, even when i play alone, which i do cuz my friends hate gears 2.... lol n wayz sumtimes i take a couple of mins to find a game but i still find a game rather fast, and with a friend(s) it is even faster, but yea i agree matchmaking is so stupid, like the way they did things b4 in Gears 1 was broken... lol

They did release an update that did help it, but not very much now at times yea it's terrible but mostly I get in easily. Also finding the first game is difficult but once I do, match making is a lot quicker always less than a minute.

It's fixed for me when I used to have the same problem not too long ago. Gears 2 matchmaking used to be as bad as eHarmony's (not personal experience) :P.

Thats pretty wierd. When I usually play Gears of war 2, it usually takes 15-20 seconds to get me into a match. I think theres something wrong with your connection.

I rarely take more than 3 mins to get a match. Try to check your nat settings, I had strict NAT before and it is a pain to get matches if you have strict NAT.

I must say it does take a bit but so does Halo 3 sometimes. you'll get into a game eventually.

People always use lag and the game being too glitchy as an excuse to why they cant get a kill or win a match Thats why everyone always goes back to the user friendly COD, and Halo... anyone can get a kill in those games

it's funny that people praise gears when they can get into a match in "3 minutes" when compared to other games that's incredibly slow

I never ever have problems, and I dont host.. I can prolly go 17-to-1 without a laggy match. Get a better internet provider kids.

I find gears 2 matchmaking to simply take too long to get a match started. COD4 matchmaking I can go from the select a match type screen to playing a game in under 5 seconds, and usually it's less than 20 before I'm playing. The problem is Gears 2 has to match you up with people, then find another team to match you against, THEN you have to vote on the match, and finally wait for the match to load.

you can put cod in that list but not halo only at lower levels is that game easy and yeah some people just generally suk at the game and people dont like losing but it does lag sometimes and there are def a bunch of lag switchers on gears. Glitches not so much i havent really seen any in a long time i think that last update got rid of all the major glitches.

You should have tried playing it online when it first came out back in November.

I've played it after the patching at a friends house and it is way faster than it was before.
