6 people Public matchmaking and I had the lowest rank...Aladuf said:
Ok, I remember this now but it had nothing to do with your rank, I could give a damn about anyone's rank. I think what happened is we had five people and you popped in right before the lobby's host was going to start it. I don't know why I would have asked you to leave because if we ever go over 5 people then we just head to a private match but I guess if I did tell you to, then my bad. I just added you back so we can do our private matches tonight._dementia said:

Basically "Fuck everything that kills me"Evonus said:
I'm ashamed to say I'm getting better at the game, I'm actually quite handy with the smoke and chainsaw routine, more so than I ever was with the shotgun anyway, I always sucked at that. But that doesn't mean I like it. The only reason I pull out my smokes before every encounter is because I know the other guy is about to do it and frankly I find it boring.
People need to stop defending the game. It has less glitches than gears 1? debateable - but it CERTAINLY has more gamebreaking glitches. host advantage is ten times worse now, you often get games where your bullets wont shoot and you cant pick up ammo, matchmaking is pathetic - these are game breakers.
I've also noticed that if you melee someone, its as if they then have the advantage, which is stupid. So many times I've melee'd someone only for them to recover faster than I can and blast my head off or even worse chainsaw me. I also flinch from somehing twice which is really annoying, like a sniper will shoot me, I'll flinch and go to get him before he reloads, but oops I flinch again and he reloads, changes weapon and kills me. *sigh* No matter how you look at it, its not as refined or as well balanced as gears 1. That game was balanced like a goddamn beat em up, down to the frames of animation and everything.
the new additions were not made with MP in mind, they were tuned for horde mode. Thats why the shotgun is nerfed cos you could cut through locusts too easy with the old one. Thats why you can plant grenades so you can camp out somewhere. Thats why you can stand shields in the ground.
if you really wanna convince yourself that the game balance was fine, imagine if some locusts had smoke grenades or if they knew how to plant grenades. Horde mode would be fucked.

I don't how you guys aren't enjoying the versus mutliplayer, but I sure the fuck am.
This game is 10x better online and the netcode is VASTLY IMPROVED.
The only problem I have with online is the fact that there are so many new players who don't know how to play and they seem jump into a ranked match. Then they get paired up with me, and it's my job to carry the team with very little help.
Online requires a certain level of aggressiveness that new players have difficulty grasping at first. Their initial reaction is to kind of sit back and let the enemies come to them, not realizing that by the time the enemy arrives, they will have acquired all the power weapons on the map, and will proceed to destroy rip you a new one.

I don't know. I've used a meatshield so many times yet I only have 4 or 5 counted for the achievement. I'm not sure what the catch is to get it to count.Kadey said:
And you need to move on. You've made a fine case for why the game isn't fun for you, and I haven't seen you voice reason 1 why you should continue. You're forcing yourself to play, which forces you to see the complaints you have in the game, which forces you to put those complaints into text form here. You've made your argument. So let it be done.kaizoku said:
Move onward and upward to new games, or fall backwards to Gears 1. Until a patch releases, your complaints will remain. Bringing them up repeatedly doesn't do much for anything.
Evonus said:
I know I need to shut up about it, just see some comments which make me wanna hit respond.
Never said the game wasn't fun, probably my game of the year and I plan to play it to death. I haven't just come out trolling the game, sure I pick it to pieces but thats kinda why forums exist and thats how I develop my understanding of things. Also partly in defence of gears 1 which people keep slagging off as a means of praising gears 2!
but yeah enough of that.
gonna try and get a horde game going with forensick, need one more.

Don't know if it still works but just make a new profile and make the location in the US. I used to do that to get exclusive Japanese demos.

good games guys.
Gears1 OST on your 360 custom soundtrack is good background music for multi, especially on the classic maps, as I realized tonight.

This is so true...:lol
I was playing wingman and I spotted the last guy (up to this point I was using shotgun)...saw him approaching me with his lancer and revving...so I thought hey I'll get me lancer out too I want some chainsaw action after all this shot gunning...
So the animation starts and I furiously get on B bashing...I win out and he says to me in the lobby..."Can't you do anything but chainsaw" "Fucking loser and your chainsaw"..."It's people like you that make me hate Gears of War 2"
Loud WTF's were said... I told him to look at the stats for the match...:lol and to remember it was him who approached me with his Lancer.

Major help needed in the final act:
I'm playing on the difficulty setting below insane. I am at the part where you need to get on the turret and kill 6 repaers. The problem is that I can't even kill one reaper when it's in the air, the only ones I can kill are the ones that drop to the ground but that sometimes doesn't even happen. What's an easy way to take out the flying reapers?

there has to be a better way then that

If Live is acting up, go back to the lobby, and check that you aren't in a co-op lobby - switch it back to Single Campaign and start it and it'll work again...
_dementia said:
This only happened when there was some lag that showed up briefly and went away - I'd be spectating someone with an invisible gun - don't know if it's those morons that purposely try to lag the match, but it's suspicious that it would show up only for a few seconds and then never again for the rest of the round...
