Has gears of war 2 online been improved?

I remember when the game was released that the multiplayer was not even close to as good as the first game in my opinion, has the online been improved and fixed since then?

yes, it is much better, however not the greatest it coudl have been. Its worth a look if you want to play some Gears2 multiplayer.

from what i hear the only thing changed is the smoke is now a stun ...shotgun still is bad so not worth buying again(sold mine and only made 22 bucks for it but brand new is 60? thats bs)

Yes, it's been patched, try it again.

After the third Title Update i find it very great. The only prob i have is that i still have a little bullet lag. I still demolish with the bullet lag but still wish i knew how to get rid of it. Anyway play it, it is better than ever and i hear another update is coming.

The gameplay has been improved quite a bit since release but host advantage still gives one team a huge advantage.

the ONLY problem i have with gow2 compared to the first one is the bullet lag for the shotgun. although it doesnt really seem like it where youre shooting someone, if you shoot at a wall you can tell. but besides that i lovvveee gow2 online and can play it forever!!

There is still bullet lag, still overpowered hosts, and still bad lag in some games.Statutory_AP3

They have fixed a lot as others have said, but there are still plenty of problems with it unfortunately. The matchmaking system is still majorly flawed, matching people from all over together in the one match, this is one of the main reasons for lag in gears2.

If you can get a team together with people you're friends with that are all from the same country, get someone to host the party lobby who has a good connection, and hopefully you can pull host in at least half your matches. Otherwise you can end up with hosts from anywhere, and when you're playing on a host that lives on the other side of the planet, you're going to lag, usually quite a lot.

That being said, if you have a team of people you get along with to play with and can pull host you can have a good game and plenty of fun. It's just a shame that epic made such a great game with so much potential and then lumped it with a totally fubar mp component.

Yes, ive played it alot more then the 1st time!
