you just don't understand. adventures were had and bonds were made. you had to be there.
actually... just cos your usual Gears junkies left, doesn't mean the game is dead. There's quite a few gaffers looking for more gaffers to play with and I can't see why you'd have less fun. I actually had more fun playing other gaffers than super-domination-duo aladuf and third - cos my connection to them seemed to suck.
I suppose if they sold their boxes I can delete em from my friends list, its full and I sense I need to make room for active gears players.
Exactly - there's no need for the dramatics - if you've had enough of the glitches, that's perfectly understandable no doubt, but there's really no need for the drama... play other stuff till the patch hits...
The "retired" thing was hilariously over-the-top though, as if it was a deep blow to everyone else in the Gears community or something - the guy needs to wake up... :lol
The funny thing is that I bet the amount of people that actually did stop playing Gears 2 will be back once it's fixed anyways...

No, what is embarrassing, it's to see a company like Epic release such important title in this state. Specially when some of the problems are not even technical problems, just needed to use a little more their brain.
And what is REALLY embarrassing, it's they made some very same bad decisions leading to the same mistakes of the first opus.
To finish it, they sell a DLC before releasing a patch... WTF... don't they know the words decency and ethic ?
Stop trying to spin the positions, it's not the first time you say such similar things. Continue like this and I will not be surprised to read that Epic are victims.
It's not like it's the end of the world, but people are on a videogames board, they talk about videogames, and what pisses them off currently about videogames it's that what could should be their favorite multiplayer game is just stupidly broken.
Unless you're a programmer at Epic, I seriously doubt you're in a position to make calls like you're doing, saying that some of their problems wouldn't even have existed "if they used a little more of their brain" - that's the type of thing I'm talking about before...
And spin what? Of course it's bad that these glitches exist - maybe I find the whole melodrama on here ridiculous because before I left for vacation, I was on Gears 2 every single night since launch with a full party, and aside from ONE instance with someone using the Boomshield glitch (who was finished off quickly I might add), I wouldn't even know that any of the other glitches existed were it not for the YouTube videos posted here...
Gears is my favorite new IP this gen and of course it's a shame that these problems exist, but you've got to be reasonable as well - fixes don't happen overnight, just keep letting them know about the glitches that are out there and hope the patch comes out soon... you'd have to imagine that this whole thing affects their pride as a developer as well...
People here including myself and others continue to have a blast with this game because a large majority of the matches go just fine - the way a few go on in here you'd think that nothing works period...
The DLC thing? Well, if you didn't agree with it, you didn't have to buy it - I remember a few times the guys at Epic couldn't give a solid number for the maps that would hit at launch, these maps probably were almost finished and didn't make the deadline so they made them DLC...
Bad timing? I can agree to that I guess - but they DID release a matchmaking patch before the DLC came out - you need to check your facts...
Of course that means I have to hope that none of them have plans and are willing to play that night. Me, well, I'm married and boring. The wife has to work in the morning (on the 1st) so she'll be in bed long before the ball drops. Means all the more gaming for me!
