The patch helped, now its only 5 god damn min to match up for a team. I play hoard cause I enjoy spending 2hrs getting to wave 43 and losing connection to host. Super duper.
Does anyone else find these hellish 5 min to matchmake another reason to punch yourself in the balls? I seriously could rub one out and have time to eat a sandwich by the time the match loads.
1up.com says another patch due by end of Jan, I don't think my genitals can hold out for that long.

Gears of War 2 multi-player is a broken hunk of shit basically. Everyone who knows me on here knows that I LOVED the first game and played it online up until the 2nd one came out. Can't say the same with the 2nd game. I played it until my free month of Live ran out and then really haven't touched it since. I've been playing Team Fortress 2 since it went $9.99 on Steam a few weeks ago. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is superb and the multi-player is the exact opposite. It's a problematic pile of shit.

First off,you wait forever to get in a game on match making. Then it'll pair you completely unbalanced by either ranking or just players themselves. I've actually been loaded into a game of Guardian with me vs 5 people. I was the Guardian every round (obviously). People didn't quit out,it just matched it that way. Then you get it the game and a metric FUCKTON of glitches. People glitching the shield so you can use any gun you want with it,melee and tagging THROUGH walls,flipping from the ground up to the bridges on Canals,getting out of the maps,and weapon sliding. How the fuck does weapon sliding get in this game when they patched in it the FIRST ONE?! Are you fucking kidding me? You can't fire from the hip with the boomshot or shotgun if you're not on the host's team,it just shoots the ground. Then the smoke (stun) grenades cause more problems as well. Players glitch through the lazers on security with them and people get knocked through the floors,out of walls,etc. Ever throw a smoke grenade at the sniper/torque house on River? The guy falls down out of the house where the opening is and gets stuck between the cars and the house on the map (an area you can't get to).

Then Epic has the balls to release a map pack for $10. No wonder this shit is down to like position 4 on Xbox Live. I feel bad for people with no internet connection who are stuck playing this unpolished piece of shit multi-player over LAN.



Also,1up is no more apparently,which makes me LOL. I hate those snobby cocksuckers.

Another good Mod post.

Dammit I wanted to do some ranting about the flamming pile of nigger dog shit that the multiplayer is in gears 2. Well you did forget that the lancer now can stop someone in their tracks which basically means if you have two people lancering the same person that person can't run or jump away quick enough from the rediculous barrage of lancer bullets that are now more over-powered they were than in Gears 1. Did Epic just feal like not puting any money into testing the new tweaks that they put in or listen to the community at all? The Flame Thrower is like a shotgun in Gears 1 if you always knew exactly where your shots were going which takes all the fun out of it. Boom Shields make you basically invulnerable and with the weapon glitch your fucked if you think about 1 v 1 ing them. Meat shields same thing except not as much. Matchmaking sucks.

*SPOILERS BELOW*

Also the story IMO sucked the broken anal glass of a dead man. They made Dom look for his wife and become some sort of sad fag for like 3 cutscenes 1 of which he blowes her head off with a magnum (really got me involved in her character :rollseyes: ). Tai dies instead of Baird. The best new edgy villian they can think of is the same basic enemy you fought before except they glow and can turn to imulsion( LIEK z0mG RaVe TIeM). No good ending boss (RAMM is still rather fun to kill). Skorge is just a lesson in tapping /b/ as many times as possible and whats the point of having tickers instead of the glowing wretches?

I'm completely skeptical whether that update will do much because of the sheer mass of ejaculate on all the game mechanics.

(P.s. The sniper sounded cooler in gears 1)

Oh and nice tag OP

The Meatflag (or whatever they call it now, I heard it was renamed or something) and Wingman modes sounded cool.

Too bad the game apparently sucks big donkey dick.

And from IAmCancer's description the singleplayer sucks just as bad as the first one.

Oh well, I'll buy it for $10. Probably end up trading it in or selling it though.

If it's only SP worthy, I'll pick it up later for cheap.

But that sucks. I was hoping for a Gears 1 like multiplayer, but with Halo quality matchmaking. But I guess that didn't happen.

And I'm getting fucking tired of studios putting shit out on the market. If it's not done, don't release it. I don't want to have a half decent game that's going to require a shitload of patching. I'm paying you $60. Give me a full goddamn game.

this pretty much sums up my feeling about that game, and why ive only ever played through it once.

um everyone here is exagarating badly!

Play with friends and you dont wait even 1 minute to find a game.

Yes there a few glitches but only teh shield glitch really ruins the game. Even that can be easily defeated by a simple smoke... so everyone complaining but they really dont get that the patch did help a LOT

I'm sorry,I didn't see on the back of the box where "have 3 friends online willing to play at any given moment" was a requirement to play online. I only have 4 friends who own the game,all whom which have jobs and play other games. The shit takes up to 10 minutes to find a game sometimes on your own. Then you get into a game and not 1 person fucking speaks because they don't bother to leave their party chat to,GOD FORBID,talk to their own team mates.

Yeah, I get this a lot in CoD5 too. To be fair, if I have the option, I will be in a party with my friends. Why talk to the mass of retards I don't know, when I can talk to the select few retards that I do know?

Because communication is an essential part of team work and planning?

sometimes its just not worth the headaches though.

Who doesn't like listening to little assholes repeat "anyone got a mic?" I love that shit.

Who doesn't like listening to little assholes repeat "anyone got a mic?" I love that shit.

And when helpful advice like "dont go that way" gets responses like "I know what im doing" and you get to watch the poor guy die.

Or when you spend a whole game of domination on COD 4 capturing, and finally get pissed and yell, "would someone hold ONE fucking spot?" only to get a response of "noob"


I mean, i love that shit!:rolleyes:
