I might have to rent it first.For those that don't know some games are not run by server so if you make a game your xbox acts as a server normally this would not matter but for some reason in gears of war you were like god if you hosted a game.Your bullet'a were faster, stronger and more accurate.

What you want to say is that some games don't have "dedicated servers".

You act like Gears of War is the only game without dedicated servers. As long as you have a decent connection there's no reason to whine.

I'm buying GoW2 (if i buy it at all) for the campaign only. I never liked 4 v 4 or the whole multiplayer setup for GoW. Very boring imo.

I loved the single player, as well as the co-op, but not so much the online. Gears 2 retaining host advantage doesn't really matter to me as I'm buying it for single player and co-op.

its not a minor thing. It super notice able, and it makes the game so frustrating. I quit playing GoW the second i noticed the host advantage, which was like 3 weeks into the game.

Yes. Host advantage doesn't really matter to me since I like to host a lot. And even if I don't host, it doesn't bother me too much.

I'd still buy it because mainly i just play coop with my friends over XBL. I find that more enjoyable than the multiplayer. If Gears 2 is 4 player coop this time around then that would be even better.

It wouldn't matter to me. It was the single player and the co-op that I really enjoyed in Gears and that's all I'm really looking for in Gears 2. Besides, I thought host advantage occurs in most Live games anyway.

I agree, but I like a good challenge. Even with host advantage I still manage to rake in enough kills to fall into 2nd place, sometimes first. i love how they blast me in one shot with a shotgun from a good distance..lol. I pay em back with some sneak n' go chainsaw maneuvers. And this is coming from a Gears of War player (me) who isnt even that good. I've only played about a week's worth of GOW online. It's so fun.

Host advantage isn't something that is "put into games." It's like a side effect.

A slight host advantage is understandable, but the HA in GoW was ridiculous. You always knew who the host of the game.

i wish ppl would stop complaining about host advantage. its not a huge advantage. some one who usually goes 5-15 is not magically going to go 29-1 imo people blow it way out of proportions and if they dont like it they should either host their own game or not play at all.

It didnt bother me. And it's not going to sway me from buying a great game. If you dont like it, dont play with people who take advantage of Host advantage. Simple as that.

of course i would, besides thats one of the greatest excuses to use whenever you die,

Someone on your team dies and screams **** HOST".

then another guy on your teams like, "dude, I'm Host"

Priceless...

I will still buy it because the main reason I'm buying Gears of War 2 mainly for campaign. I didn't get into the multiplayer for Gears of War 1 so host advantage doesn't bother me much.

I own alot of games that don't run on dedicated servers, i never really thought of it as a problem until i played gears.let's say we make a game match in gears of war and we all have verizon fios (thats as fast as internet can be for now)if i am host my team just won.You can basicly run around with the shotgun killing people from 10 feet away.Also if we have a one on one and we start shooting each other at the same time non stop it's almost certain that the host is bringing you down first.It not a big dissapointment for me because i really did not care, what did piss me off is wininning a match fairly only to have a sory loser on the other team blame host advantage.
