what Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Heh, I never realised there were Gamer Pictures on the GoW2 LE disc... I hope they aren't made totally obsolete by the NXE (which I've actually completely forgotten about since I started playing GoW2...)

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted November 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2008 on my co-op game on normal and my m8 was on hardcore my Carmine was insanely good at picking us up Yeah I was gonna say, Carmine was pretty damn helpful picking myself or Kick up when we played co-op. Especially when I was too busy fighting back waves of locust or we had a distance between us.

Brad. Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just played my first proper online game. There was a bit of lag which wasn't a major issue. I like it (Y) can't wait to play it more!

IceBreakerG Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I played the game for the first time yesterday afternoon, and I gotta say it's badass. I never played MP on the first Gears, but I plan on this being the replacement for CoD4 for me. I played through the MP tutorials (to get the achievement), and that was actually a lot of fun, even with the bots. However, I think I'm gonna need someone to play through co-op with me on Insane once I beat it (might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone, get the co-op achievement and the insane achievement at the same time). If anyone is interested, please send me a PM and let me know, or send me a message on XBL. I probably won't be done with the single player campaign until the end of the week though, maybe next week, since I'm busy with work. But I definitely want to get this done. Also, does anyone know how to use the damn mortar launcher to send mortars farther than like 50ft away from you lol. I tried aiming it higher, lower, straight ahead, and it seemed like it went the same distance every time.

Remysaus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 it's just 50 meters, no way to change the distance, you can only aim horizontally.

The longer you hold the right trigger down the farther it goes, the longer dash line shows you the distance of the last mortar you fired so you know to send it shorter or farther.

Guyro Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 has anyone else found the driving level really laggy, or at least in parts, the bit where the ?seeders? were shooting? my gun/truck kept getting blown up when the mortars were going nowhere near me Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/26/#findComment-590106454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

spenser.d Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I had problems when I tried too. Took about 10 minutes. Seemed to help if I cancelled matchmaking myself and restarted it, but that may have just been coincidental to the very few times I tried. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/26/#findComment-590106802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the official Epic forums: Q: Slow Matchmaking ? Why does it take so long for matchmaking to find me a game?A: This is an issue that?s affecting some folks, and Epic and Microsoft are both looking into it. I'll let you know more details as I have them.
