What's up everyone. So me and two of my friends go on live on gears about 2-3 times a week (we all play other games like cod4 and gta) and not be cocky or conceeded or anything, but we are sick at it. We honestly win 19 out of 20 games. That's not the point though, the point is the people we play with, and against, are huge douchebags most of the time.

A lot people complain about the Halo community becayse of the 'little kids' who talk trash constantly, even if you're smoking them, but I would honestly prefer that over the Gears community any day. As if it wasn't hard enough to get a game going with friends because of the whole no matchmaking thing, it's even harder when the entire other team decides to quit EVERY time, just because they are getting smacked, and even if it's a good game but they lost a round.

Every game we join, we go opposite to the host side to make it fair. Every game is the same. Let's use a 3 round annex as an example. First round, the other team wins, talks some trash, the usual. Second round, we win, nothing is said. Third round, we completely destroy the other team (were in our 'groove' now if you wanna call it that). During this round, BAM, one quits. A little bit longer, another quits. By the time the fourth round rolls along, there down to just the host, and that's if the host doesn't quit first.

Now in the same scenario, a lot of the time the host will quit after just ONE round loss because he/she knows their gonna get smashed the rest of the game, so they quit and ruins it for everyone (the worst is when they remake the EXACT same game right after they quit, showing that their just big panzy's and can't take getting ripped).

The other thing that annoys us is when the host will down you, and then rape you while you're downed. Seriously WTF is that, it takes absolutly NO skill to down/kill someone when you are the host, like ZERO. Lancer downs in like a quarter clip, shotty is a one shot, you can't stun them with melee's half the time (so no two-peicing), they take soooo much damage, the list goes on. So when they down you and act like they have just completely dominated you, it makes me very angry. The absolute worst is when the host downs you with an active sniper shot, because there not good enough to get a headshot, THEN proceed to rape you on the ground.

The real question for me is, why do people quit? Why not go against people who are good and a challenge, therefore making you play better, therefore making it all the better when you turn the game around and win. Me and my friends actually look for people to beat us, we try to find players that are good and even if we loose, we don't care because we have had a good game against good players.

Does anyone else experiene this? Please comment.

PS: Sorry for this rant being so long!

I stopped playing Gears a long time ago because of this very same thing. I waited for a while thinking that maybe those people moved on to other games like GTAIV or COD4. Nope. Still there and it seems like it's worse now more then ever. I rebought Gears under the idea of what I just explained and ended up trading it about 3 weeks after I bought it because of peoples attitudes and the over all negative community Gears has. If they're not having fun, they make sure no one is having fun. They make every round miserable for everyone in the match.

I mean even when I'm totally getting thrashed in Bad Company, I don't quit. I guess people don't like to lose or maybe they think if they quit it won't count against their rank. Who knows, people are crazy.

That kind of stuff has happened starting a few weeks after the game came out. It's exactly the reason why I'm not going to play the second game, I'm not dealing with that community again.

Also, considering that one of Epic's main goal is for some reason to make Gears 2 bloodier than the first one.....more blood = more little kids.

lol Is that right? Anytime bro. But to help your friend, I know a way he can fix his disc. I don't know if you know what it is, but it's called the toothpaste trick. I used it on a copy of FEAR: Files, and it freaking WORKED. No joke. Put a circle of toothpaste around the center circle, then smear it softly from the inside out (NOT CIRCULAR), leave it for 2 minutes, then wipe it off with a towel, then wash it, and dry it witha soft cloth. Believe me this works.

And my GT: Red Oxyg3n

That is very true. I don't think that Gears 2 will be as much of a hassle because of the matchmaking, so if the other team does decide to quit, you can get right back into it, not try to find the same game for 10 minutes. Also, no host advantage :)

Yep most of the time when I do play gears, it is some loser who decides to smack talk everyone while crab walking. It is rare when you find a team that doesn't talk Sh** all the time.

What also sucks is that people always quit games in Gears of War also, if their team is losing they quit.

It by far has the worst community of people I've ever seen. I ran into a few cool players, but not many.

I met most of my XBLive friends through Gears of War, but some of the people in the community are pretty awful, to say the least. You just gotta deal with it though. I know I'm going to be up playing Gears of War 2 all night.
