TU5 coming soon. "Awesome fixes" in store. With 5 fucking TUs, who the fuck knows anymore, although, seeing friendly grenade tags with your Com is pretty sweet, but removing nade tagging all together would be even sweeter.

Yeah. Why not? TUs for Gears will be free anyway. Was there any testing done at all? :lol
Epic should not overestimate itself and do MP beta for Gears 3.

Is anyone else having trouble with their 360 reading the Gears 2 disc as a dvd instead of a game?
My system just started acting up tonight when I waned to play some Horde. Is this a sign of things to come?

I've been playing horde mode lately all because of the matchmaking Firefight ODST nonsense. I love to be able to just jump on and play at my leisure.

epic seriously sucks ass at fixing glitches and cheats
and unless "awesome fixes" means "we're adding dedicated servers" i doubt i'll even try out the next update

I can't believe I'm actually getting hyped thanks to this news post from gearsofwar.com to play Gears 2 again considering Borderlands and Modern Warfare 2 will be out soon.

sorry but i'm not dumb enough to fall for their hype yet again.
Domino Theory said:
Epic never change! :lol :lol :lol
Gears of War 2 is the biggest fiasco this gen IMO, mainly for the broken as hell mp and the nerfed/n00b-friendly gameplay...After this Epic fail there's no chance to pay more than 20e for an Epic game.
I can't wait for Borderlands, L4D2 & Modern Warfare 2 to come out and see this piece of shit GTFO of Xbox Live's Top Ten.

My worst purchase this generation thus far was a one-year renewal of XBox Live Gold for the express purpose of playing Gears of War 2 online. Never again.

Sorry, I'm not buying Epic's hype shit anymore. They've proven they don't have a clue when it comes to online versus multiplayer.
Fuck Epic, I've still got my original copy of Gears, but Gears 2 was and is an online noob party disaster. I played the original Gears online for 1 1/2 years, Gears 2 was a month at best. Unless they go back to what worked with some tweaks in the original fuck Gears 3 multiplayer.

:lol
It's never going to happen is it.
I remember buying the game with a couple of my friends on the release date, something I very, very rarely do. We all sold the game after about a week or two. I didn't think it was possible for a game to be so broken online.
Shame too, I loved the first and thought they'd like... Fix shit for the second. I'm not buying Gears 3 until a month or so after release.

Same here. I do understand the hardcore player frustration, but MP in Gears never really appealed to me.

Well the campaign was pretty good for what it was - a bigger, "better" and more badass n00b-friendly version of the first game with stupid additions like stopping power, slower character movement and the nerfed shotgun/lancer...I personally think that the only thing that Gears 2's campaign has over the original is graphics, even the music and the weapon sounds in the sequel were inferior IMO.
The first game is a more focused, brutal, fun and deeper gameplay-wise experience IMO that was all about close encounters - I've played the first game's campaign over 10 times but I've only played Gears 2 SP 2 times at launch and never touched it since then...of course the gameplay "tweaks" changed entirely the way the game played also in the MP portion of the game making it as someone else stated above an online noob party disaster with Epic saying a big fuck you to all the hardcore players that supported the first game for 2 years hoping for an even better online MP mode - I honestly believe as I have spent over 1000hrs in the first game that the first game's mp was perfect except the stupid instant sniper downs - why change the gameplay for the second game so much if you have something that the only complaint was the overpowered sniper? apparently Epic thought that making the game more friendly to the newcomers was the best decision...that's why I'm not supporting them from now on.

I don't know what game your playing but Gears 2 is a pretty fun multiplayer game that has some issues but I think it's better than gears 1 in almost every way because Gears 1 had alot of issues and wasn't as perfect as people think it was but especially as a full package, I prefer Gears 2 over Gears 1 in every way.

The way epic think, I am guessing:-PXG- said:
Lv limit up to 256 with new achievement for hitting the cap "random winner" 15g
Shotgun given sniper properties
Sniper nurfed but now rapid fire
'fixed' smoke stun now makes you slide up stairs
Crab walk now let's you go up walls

Wait what are we conplaining about? I agree that Gears 2 was a train wreck from a technical standpoint in MP (glitches, matchmaking etc.) But I liked the theory behind some balance decisions, such as stopping power etc. Those shotgun circle jerks from the first Gears were retarded.
Oh but proximity mine grenades was really dumb. People always hate proximity mines, yet people keep putting them in games. Nothing like punishing aggressive players who carry the game.

Confirmed changes (there will be a lot more):
You can see friendly grenades that are tagged on walls using your Tac/Com
"Sticky Walk" fixed (Thank God)
Subway exploit fixed
Security/Hacking exploit that arrived thanks to a loophole from TU4 (lol) fixed
I've all but given up on this game. I hate to say it, but once MW2 hits, this game will just collect dust. I ended up only playing with a party with one us hijacking host (not proud of it) because it was unbearable dealing with a constant coin toss to see what sort of connection I would be dealing with.
I played nothing but gears 1 for almost 2 years and this game was a big shit pile compared to that.
If TU5 gives me dedicated servers I will play it, but other then that it doesn't mean squat.
I keep looking over at my game stack and wanting to play it, but then I realize it isn't worth the effort of putting it in my 360. LawL

New update to fix stuff, and the good old whining is back - nice - damned if you do, damned if you don't huh.
I'm at least glad that that "sticky walk", if it's what I think it is, will be fixed, because it can get real annoying at times - and I like that friendly grenade spotting, but it's been as simple as holding your reticule over the grenade to tell if it's friendly or not for the longest of while now, but any new easier methods are fine with me...

I like them too, stopping power was a great addition but adding 3 rockets to the boomshot was not, wtf happened there?-PXG- said:

Not enough for me to seriously go back to this game for more then a few matches, if that.

Might jump in and check this out one more time, but honestly, it was the lag that made this so broken for me.
I really got over being killed with a couple of bullets while my opponent received like 3 of my clips and kept walking.

Doesn't look like they fixed the rank glitch, where your rank will just go back to 1 randomly. I am not touching this game until they get that done. There is a 80 page thread in the EPIC forums about it for the past half a year, still not looking at it i guess.
