dirtmonkey37 said:It's a terrible shame that the first level looks like trash both technically and aesthetically. Everything about it just looks generic, bland, and clunky. I don't understand why the developers would start the game off in one of the worst looking environments in both Gears 1 and Gears 2.
Regardless, the game is holding up nicely.

Has anyone found any others in the campaign? I ran across this part and remember the vid. So satisfy to get toast right before killing some locust scumNutJobJim said:The fuck is wrong with you?!

Great advert, I wish Cole Train would crash through my kitchen wall every morning and shout in my face before work
It would have been even better if at the end of the advert they had Marcus Fenix shouting WHO WANTS TOAST?!!!!

Isn't this true for halo3 and cod4 as well? No way around that, they should just learn from those games how to do it right. Oh i said it bitchesDiablohead said:I'd be more happy with how gears 1 and 2 handle lag if everyone had it, and you connected to a server. Since there is always 1 person in the match who is the host they will always have a shooting advantage, always.
It's amazing how much it helps the host too, when I was working on doing my 50 hosted matches achievement in gears 1 I could shotgun 9 out of 10 people close to me before they could hurt me enough to be a problem.
-ARNiE- said:Mark and Cliffy, it isn't your matchmaking that is crippling the online experience, it's the disgraceful netcode and gameplay. I want to love Gears Of War 2 multiplayer, I thought the Singleplayer was the best I've played this year; however me and all of my friends (diehard Gears 1 fans, played it until 2 and have seriously) have moved on. Literally, the shotgun is more inconsistent than it has ever been, for example hitting the floor or bullets simply not appearing. The netcode is IMHO worse than Gears 1. When in a clear game, I agree Gears 2 perhaps shades Gears 1, but the frequency of games that are unplayable shit laggy is exponentially higher in Gears 2. This is appaling, that was the main fix thus making us fans believe you will have it covered. Map designs are littered with horribly unbalanced weapons such as the mortar and boomshot (River *cough* River). Don't get me started on the chainsaw or I will tear my eyes out. Maps themsleves lack individual flair despite a couple of standouts, Security and Stasis. You will support a game which was obviously dead popularity wise, UT3, with dedicated servers, why not save them for the game that would surely require them.
I am at my wits end, people in this thread will know I eagerly anticipated this game and it has strongly let me down, I doubt I will play it any more until a major patch emerges, fixing GAMEPLAY AND NETCODE issues, not irrelevent matchmaking gripes. Sort it Epic, it's depressing.
Aladuf said:Ehh, yeah.. I want to want to play Gears 2 again. But I just lost that feeling a few days ago, once we get a patch and as long as it's a good gameplay-fixer, I'm right back. But right now PoP has got me by the balls so I can "patiently" wait for that patch.

RSTEIN said:damn I loled
Cliff... man... even the guy who made this thread has quit playing the game.
Skilotonn said:Nice... :lol
Didn't he admit that he sucked at the game? I'm sure you said that Aladuf! :lol
But really, what does that matter though?
NutJobJim said:I'm still plating it now and then, I certainly agree that it needs patching for the gameplay/glitches. I'll probably be on a lot today if any Gaffers fancy a game. Overall the MP part of the game has definitely been a disappointment, but I still enjoy Gears more than most of the other big shooters.
Gig said:Will you be playing Horde? I'd loved to get some Horde action in with some other Gaffers.
NutJobJim said:The thing I don't understand is, Epic have a long history of developing online games (UT) so why does their netcode suck? :lol
That was more of me just being frustrated one night, Gears 2 did that to me a lot.. but last time I checked my leaderboards I'm over 1.0 k/d in every Private/Public gametype.Skilotonn said:Didn't he admit that he sucked at the game? I'm sure you said that Aladuf! :lol

Shins said:still don't understand why UT III for 360 can have dedicated servers but Gears of War 2 cannot
Gig said:Brumaks, what a letdown, finally having the opportunity to fight a Brumak was one of the things that excited about Gears of War 2 the most, such a shame they are so easily defeated.

Halo is the game I keep coming back to. Whenever new games come out and I'm super hyped, I play them for a while, then eventually go right back to Halo 3, which feels fresh again. It's pretty nice, because when you get sick of Halo just play a new game for a while and you can always come back to Halo. I just haven't had interest in putting Gears 2 in the disc tray lately... I play the campaign here and there but MP hasn't been as fun.msdstc said:So that article is bullshit, because gears 2 is just so much better than Halo 3, too much fanboy hype around the halo franchise. Either way I'm finishing up gears 2 now and I have to say it is just so much better than the first one. The visuals are absolutely incredible, made me say wow several times, and I've stopped quite a bit to just look around and admire what they've created. Some of it is a bit over the top,also there was still a lot of shitty writing, however I felt much more of a connection this timeThe part INSIDE the worm was fun, it was just a little ridiculous.. The voice of thescene with mariaeither way huge step up, and so far my 2nd favorite game of the year.queen at the end is stupid as hell too, especially what she's saying

Last time I checked I had moved up to a 3.7 K/D and the lowest I was ranked was 150, but I haven't played nearly as much because Left 4 Dead has me by the balls right now. Plus, I don't have *cough* certain people *cough* to play with every night like I used to.Aladuf said:That was more of me just being frustrated one night, Gears 2 did that to me a lot.. but last time I checked my leaderboards I'm over 1.0 k/d in every Private/Public gametype.
I wonder what ThirdEngine's k/d is in Private Execution nowadays? It was about 3.3 or so last week and he was about 175 in the world! :lol
I can agree. I popped it in the other night, and I was honestly impressed not only with the netcode, but the framerate was butter smooth as well. Are dedicated servers for Gears completely out of the question, even at this point?Kibbles said:Halo is the game I keep coming back to.

Yeah, sorry about that, buddy.. I've just been playing the PS3 this past week, I've bought about 4 games for it and I'm kinda going through them all now. I'm thinking during the Holiday break from college I'll give Gears a shot again.ThirdEngine said:Last time I checked I had moved up to a 3.7 K/D and the lowest I was ranked was 150, but I haven't played nearly as much because Left 4 Dead has me by the balls right now.

ToyMachine228 said:-I don't have any problem with the Matchmaking.
-I have a few problems with netcode. Mainly when I host the game lags to all hell for everyone else. Other than that, I don't think it's too bad.
- Honestly, my biggest gripe with Gears 2 is Smokes. Get them out of Ranked matches. It's ruining the game's flow big time.
Do it! Then we can finally play COD4 online or something else.ThirdEngine said:I know you'll return eventually. :lol
I think I'll be getting a PS3 this Christmas as well.

Gunstar77 said:...But my biggest problem with GOW2 is the shotgun, all Epic talked about was stopping power for the weapons but the Shotgun doesn't seem to have stopping power on it at all. I can't count how times I was chainsawed by someone just walking straight at me and I would repeatly pump the shotgun at them only to get sucked into the chainsaw. ...
