Are there still character resets and level crashing problems? I was going to buy CC over christmas, would have brought it already but the 360 died.h3ro said:
If they left it and said fuck it, surely no one would buy their new games and they are just hurting themselves.

If The Behemoth have the audacity to claim that its the certification process that is delaying the Castle Crashers patch I will personally post an angry reply on a Castle Crashers related thread on an internet forum.
Good to know that Epic are working on fixes though, got pwned in co-op campaign the other day when my arms got stuck in 'turret holding' mode. :/

I swear I was about to post the same thing. It's been what over 2 months and still no patch for that fuckin game. I don't think I will be buying any more Behemoth products.

Yeah I think they've pointed the finger at certification a few times. But enough is enough and this probably belongs in another thread (so I'll stop!).... :/
Y'know, I wish that we had some single player DLC to look forward to with Gears, it seems these days SP expansions are dead and maps are the way forward. I'd love a few more missions to play, why can't we have a chapter of Dom and Baird when they are off on their own, I'm sure they've got a story to tell.
Guess I'll have to keep dreaming on that front though.
TU going live @ 3:40AM on Thanksgiving?
Props, Epic. Props.
And unless you've been through a cert process (demo, beta, gold, TU, or DLC - doesn't matter) you have no idea what its like. The simplest of changes can take weeks. I have faith that Epic will turn Gears 2 MP into something special to be played for a long time.

gowfans.com claims there are other changes too in the patch, mostly stuff they noticed themselves, would be awesome if true, but take it with a grain of salt:

Just played a few matches.
I noticed that the stun grenade lasts a lot less now. Your character gets up faster. Maybe it's not true, but I felt that way.
My shots were pretty damn accurate for the few matches I've played. A little bullet lag, but this is much more manageable.
Matchmaking is somewhat faster. Still takes a while to find a team after finding players.
Props to Epic. I think I'll buy this game for $35 now.

Does the shotgun still shoot at your feet? it's the biggest thing they need to fix I think.
Yea my shotgun basically never does that to people .... the guy has good aim tho ... still, the reason his aim is so spot-on is because he has virtually no lag, making his reflexes/aim/reaction time superior to everyone elses.Tomcat said:
Was busy yesterday I didn't get to post in here (SSF2THDR is awesome!), came in and saw the excellent news that Epic came through on their promise on fixing the matchmaking first and foremost - good stuff...
They got the root of the problems that I noted a long time ago as well: searching always took the longest alone (1) or with a party of 4, and they reduced the lag...
And you guys may have went a weeeeeeee bit overboard with that huge list of "fixes" - there are things in there that no doubt need fixing like the BS lag switch crap, or the meatshield glitch, but getting rid planting grenades and whatever other trivial stuff you mentioned? Oh come on.
Learn to spot them around corners and take them out with a shottie blast - and I can't recall the amount of times I caused someone to suicide with his own planted grenade...
On top of that, frags only spawn every other round, so there is always a "safe round" so to say...
The shotgun ALWAYS stunned the chainsaw in one shot before the patch - if you didn't stun them, that meant you had lag...
Anyways, gonna finish the last two or so chapters, and then I'll have Insane beaten solo...
Off-topic: Again I'm getting this weird error with YouTube where it always gives an internal error message as if some of their servers are down...

Good to see Epic is acting quick to correct lag, glitches and infrastructure problems. Obviously they need more time to weight gameplay adjustment options, but it's great to see Epic is acting quick and paying attention.

Matchmaking has never taken that long for me. 2-3 minutes maybe. And lately it's been very fast. 30 seconds or less. 2-3 minutes wasn't acceptable, but it was the beginning and I haven't had to deal with it lately.

turns out I suck at multiplayer.
god I'm stuck on the campaign as well, at a large courtyard near the end and lots of waves of guys come out. right after 2 maulers comes 2 bloodmounts. they run right up to me every time and just eat me. Like run directly across the courtyard, straight at me and then the second one kills me in 1 hit after I kill the first one. Fuck what is the trick to avoiding them? The battle takes around 7 minutes each time and then they kill me in 10 seconds. It's driving me batty.

Plant a grenade in each "staircase" when the bolodmounts spawn, before they get to you you should be able to take out a good chunk of health from them just by shooting them with the lancer. When they reach you the grenades you planted will finish them off. An easier way would've been to take the Grinder's chaingun from the previous area and tear up the bloodmounts that way.

I did this alone on Insane a few hours ago, and this has to be the strategy Epic thought for it...
When you get down to the two Maulers, get rid of any grunts/wretches with them, and run around trying to get them separated - then head to the Troika in the middle, and pick them off with it as they come to you...
The reason why I say I'm sure this is the strategy meant by Epic is because the Troika can turn 360 degrees... so use the Troika to finish off the Maulers, then when they are both dead, swing around back to the door in the middle at the top of the stairs where the Bloodmounts will come through, and grind them to pieces with the Troika - fight's over...

My friend just finished the campaign, and he's watching the final cutscene now.
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
He says from now on he'll call Jacinto "Atlantis."
Just played a bunch of matches, my first friendless multiplayer session on gears that I would consider a success. About 7 games all in all, one was so laggy it took 5 seconds to pick up a weapon, my whole team finished with 0 points, 1 guy had 27! and the other team cleaned up - they only had 4 players vs our 5 too. Wonder if they were doing it deliberately because the whole opposition team just rushed right to us with shotguns out everytime, as if they knew we couldn't defend ourselves.
Anyway the rest of it was acceptable, I still think grenade planting is a pain and encourages annoying tactics (i.e. camping in River), and chainsaw is still super powerful, and yes every match turned into a smoke grenade/chainsaw orgy at some stage or another....but its not so bad on some modes like annex.
at least I can enjoy playing it regularly again, Fallout 3 can wait.
