I say this mainly because of the chainsaws.

Honestly, one hit kills, its EVERYONES default weapon and if anyone gets near you with one, it sucks you in instantly.

As soon as it touches you, regardless if it just nis you and a partner kills them right after, you fall into pieces.

/rant i hate the damn chainsaw

Its a fact that the most kills are scored with the shotgun. But most of the times i die are because of the chainsaw, unless i get lagged at with a weapon. I agree with you, gears 2 has broken multiplayer, but the chainsaw isn't the biggest problem.

I agree, it's way too unbalanced, much like Halo 3. I've never really got into Gears of War, but I liked the original tons better than its sequel.

First off don't run up to people with their lancer out...this will get you chainsawed every time. Secondly if you get cornered learn to melee with your shotgun or shoot them with the lancer as they run at you, this will stop their chainsaw and stun them for a second. Play the game as a tactical stop and pop shooter and you will do better. Also, only play online with friends...that way you can get together in a party and work on strategy. Hope this helps.

I don't think it's fair to say the multiplayer is broken because you get chainsawed a lot. The fact is that in every multiplayer game there is always something people complain about, but with Gears the problems are amplified because there's more emphasis on teamwork and you don't get to instantly respond.

While I'll admit that I'm not to keen on the changes they made from the original, I'd never say it's broken though.

When I first read the topic, I thought this was concerning gameplay, prior to the recent patch. After reading through, I have to agree with Lanezy. Personally, I haven't been playing Gears 2 much, but the weapons seem to be a little more balanced than Gears 1.

I like how in gears 1 you could set the rounds up to 19 , but in gears 2 you can only go up to 5 in execution and warzone . Alot of the time the game disconnects and they should have set the matchmaking based on connections rather than skill. Getting your ass kicked only makes u better. Its a good game though , i hope they patch it up some . I started to get back into it and its grown on me much like the first gears multyplayer.

We really don't need another topic like this. It's a known fact the MP has severe issues, issues which Epic are finally beginning to address. I'm not going to look for the link, but Epic announced they are working on a patch to fix some things, such as melee through walls, shotgun accuracy, etc.
