If you still play Gears of War 2....

Ive got a question for you. Is getting into a game as horrible as it was in November? I was thinking about starting to get online again with it but dont even want to attempt it if its gonna take 10 minutes to get into a game

I'm not a hardcore Gears player and I don't own the game but I was playing with my friend a few weeks ago and we got into games pretty quick. I think they adjusted the issues but I could be wrong. CNUrGames

That probably has to do with the fact that many people stopped playing it...

you'll usually find a match within a minute, atleast for me

I had the same problem with the game, but since the last major update, getting a game seems to take no more than a minute.

Gears 2's online portion has gotten A LOT better since November. Most of the glitches have been fixed, Smokes have been balanced out, playlists have been updates so that you get the game-type you want more oftne, math-making is faster, the lag has gotten considerably better and there is a new--better--rank system. If Gears 2 had launched like this it wouldn't have lost so many people such yourself and may still be a contender for #1 on LIVE. So to answer you question: Yes, Gears 2 has gotten considerablly better online.

I have no problem getting into a match at all...I'm playing as I sppeak lol.

No, it takes even longer.

you must have a horrible connection then.

Works well for me. 5 Minutes is the most I've had to wait in about 5 months, and only that because people cancel the matchmaking mid-search. It helps if you have more people with you, but me and 1 other friend seem to find a match in around 1 minute.Mau-Justice

takes me like 10-30 seconds to find a match

i didnt buy it in november so idk wut it used to b like. but fr me its pretty quick

there's an update coming, so it's just going to keep improving. plus new maps, new achievements and a new campaign chapter all coming soon. you gain experience while playing horde as well, so now there's even more reason to keep playing.

it just sucks if you suck and i SUCK.

i have friends who play gears 2 so i usually meet up with them for a game.

well i will test it out again to see how it is. will get owned guaranteed since i haven played in months so i may just end up stop playing it again anyway lol.

im just so sick of CoD4 and Halo 3.... i want a new shooter to play online thats not so boring to me now

I have played the game consistently since launch and it has gotten much better. The biggest flaw is that they have a very weak region filter built into the match making process. If they had better region filters/matched up people based on connection quality this would fix many of the host issues and lag problems. But they simply will not do it because it would alienate the minority of people that have purchased the game outside of the US.

You find matches pretty quick now. The patches have fixed matchmaking issues.

Even though Gears 2 is as old as it is I still find it to be a really great game and I love the multiplayer. It is all we do when my cousin comes over. He is still better than me but I have almost caught up. Can still kick his ass on CoD 4.

Alot of the glitches and a few of the cheap stuff has been eliminated, but it's still a pretty tough game to get into. Alot of cheap and unorthadox tactics at play. By far the easiest game type I think you could get is Annex/King of the Hill since it has respawn and alot of people I play against seem to not use tactics. But matchmaking will occasionally toss you a "what the ****" match up. I'm level eighteen right now and once I was matched up against a party of level fifties and a level one hundred. The highest ranked guy on my team was in the thirties. Guess who won?

But title update 4 is on the way, we'll see what else changes.

Most of the time I get in matches so fast but yes there's still times when it seems like it takes forever, hella horrible when that happens.

It works fine ive never had any problem.
