I recently started playing online on gears after almost completing the campaing, it was fun at first when I was placed in games with people with similar skills and that I have no lag with. But now i'm a level 10, i keep getting placed in laggy games that are more often that not well mathced. And the game just stopped being fun. Does anyone else feel this?

I bought it when it first came out. I beat single player and played MP a little. But it bothered me you could'nt play split screen co-op without 2 live accounts. And it just got boring with 8 people running around with chainsaws going. I felt they failed with the MP aspect of the game personally....which lead to me getting rid of it.

I got it release day. Finished it on Insane. Tried to like the online but it was just awfull. There was only so much lag switching I can take. I traded it in for Street Fighter 4 and went back to Gears of War 1.

Smoke grenades are enough to keep me out of match making.

Yeah i totally wasted my money on it. Very frustrating because it seems as if the gameplay speed is slower!! I mean what the hell i roll faster than i can run!! That is unbelievable. Plus nothing much really changed (seriously.. just continuing the story). Well unless you're a Gears of War fan and must continue on the storyline and see what happens to dom and fenix, then there really isn't a whole lotta reason to get this game. Big let down, Gears of War was a big hit when it came out. This is a failure. But hey, plenty of other games to play

I can't think of a sequel that has been well received that changed more than Gears 2. A fair amount of change was made. I'd say it's unreasonable to expect more change than there was, really. What could have been changed. I can't think of much.

Maybe it's just me, but games like Diablo - Diablo 2 had alot of improvements. Warcraft - Warcraft III had MAJOR improvements. Killzone - Killzone 2 completely changed the way i viewed the PS3. I expected alot more of Gears of War 2 just because of some of the hype. Besides minor problems like the grenade that freakin stuns you. I was on some steps and i froze for about 5 minutes sliding down about 1 CM per minute. And i roll more than i run so my thumb gets sore after a while. GoW 2 isn't a bad game, it just didn't live up to it's hype and kinda killed it for me i guess. And after having played GoW and seeing that not much changed, made the game feel repetitive.

I just finished playing an Annex game, no one over the level of 15 was on my team and 3 level 100, a 56 and a 42 on their team. Plus we were lagging like hell. I'm done with MP i'm just gonna try and complete the game on Insane, possibly co-op they sell it.

I rented it, beat the campaign and tried online - broken multiplayer like the first one.

As a Gears 1 veteran I completely agree. A huge leap backwards in terms of sheer fun. I still keep it for horde and the excellent campaign though.
