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.

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.

You're doing something wrong then. 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.

I might have to hit you up on that offer then. I want to go through insane co-op this weekend to as I will be going home from college (that weekend).

is anyone having any problems connecting to a game? i was searching for about 20 mins!!!

It found my team but couldn't find a team to play against....

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.

I learnt that the hard way during the chapter with the Brumak fight in the tunnel :rofl:

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
