[Official] Gears of War 2

Don't mind him, he's just trolling the 360's AAA topics.

Exactly the same as GOW1? Hardly. Sure it has the same gameplay mechanics but then so does every sequel. What did you want? Horse show jumping and ribbons? Please.

Thats great DM - I thought we all past this but it seems youre still stuck in fanboy country

christ :no:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Not at all, but GOW1 and 2 are very different, where you got that comment from is beyond me. I'm not denying it has problems, hell I just posted about lag issues.

Thanks for the fanboy comment though (Y)

You make it sound like this is a new thing to you?

You mean you've never played any sports titles that were fine one year and a POS the next for example? It happens all the time. Some of those glitches you have listed though were in the original gears (floating glitches).

Btw to use the mortar, hold down the trigger. Don't press it like the other weapons. The long you hold the trigger the further it will fire.

I've never experienced the problems you've listed though. The only thing I've experienced that was present in GoW1 was getting stuck on objects or floating on top of objects.

Didnt expect it from EPIC games :/

Ya, I know you have to hold the trigger with mortors but sometimes its stuck :/

You play coop or single?

Just played 4?hours coop - fun:DD

[Ayepecks]

I haven't experienced any of those bugs, and from what I've seen on the Epic forums (and numerous other 360 forums), no other user has either... so apparently you're the only one on earth :laugh: I've seen topics on bugs, but none that you mentioned.

I've only played two only multiplayer matches but my friend and I were going to change that tonight...or so we thought. We got a party together and got one match in. The next was terribly laggy but we got through it. After that we just sat at the waiting screen with a full party of 5 for 5 minutes and we couldn't get anything. We exited out and tried again for 10 minutes to no avail. Not sure what the deal was tonight but talk about disappointment. The first time all week I have time to play multiplayer and it said no. :(

^ If it takes longer than 40 seconds to find a match with a full party, cancel and search again. Our party is usually matched within 10 seconds of searching.

Aww, poor baby! I have to wait 30 minutes for a game. :( And then its in some yank server and have to fire about a second ahead of where I think the bad guys will be. :( *sigh* I really hate Xbox Live. :(

[Remysaus]

better hate your connection :p

Played some horde with my brother last night over xbox live with 3 others, got to level 34 but had to quit, really enjoyed it though, it got really intense from level 25, my whole team was dead and i was the only one standing against about 50% of that wave, don't know how i made it, but i did. great fun :D

[addc182]

can't wait for epic to fix how long it takes to join matches

[Remysaus]

I don't get why they got rid of guests on xbox live, it's something i love in halo and gears 1 for when you're hanging with friends, had to use a free month trial for my brothers account to play horde in splitscreen online :(

[what]

I'd rather it took LONGER to find a match if it means I get a British game with low latency! I'm sick of joining games only to be greeted with a "oh my god" or "******" or "retarded" in a typical American adenoidal accent so I need to RESET THE GAME to find one I'll actually be able to compete in. They really ****ed up on this GoW2 matchmaking - what was wrong with the original game's serverlist? Surely you can have a party system and a server list...

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I don't get why MP is so laggy but Horde is/was perfect when I played it :/. Not one bit of lag, whereas in MP I was sliding all over the place and had almost no control.

Higher power must be after me then

Pretty sure you can

In the start menu - press Y(I think) to guest sign in

Played splitscreen online horde yesterday - 2 on my xbox and one over the internet

[Remysaus]

i tried, but it won't let you go in a public match, not sure about private over xbox live..

[-Nic-]

I had found a bug earlier where If I picked up a mortar that was placed underneath grenades that I could continue to grab grenades infinitely....I didn't complain about that bug though. :p

I've had a few other bugs as well. If there's anyone to blame, it's the publisher, Microsoft, for pushing Epic to release it in November rather than December. I'm sure the bugs will be fixed in an update.

We tried that afterwards. Normally we are able to connect as quickly as you described so it must have been something with Live in general last night.

you can have guest on Private matches

[Huleboeren]

Just finished the game - ending was way too easy :p

The bugs I experience kinda make the game more fun - lol

Was playing coop and killing Scorge (first phase)

My friend was dying and I had to revive him but my character was stuck(as always), sommersaulting didnt help

He reached me JUST in time so that I could revive him :D

[+Mystic MVC]

Going through with a friend on Insane right now and there are some pretty hard parts. We got about halfway through Act II but it took us a 2-3 hours to get to just that part. :p

[mail]

Yeah Insane is o.O

[Razorwing]

anyone up for horde?

[Huleboeren]

Anyone else feel there is too much 'vehicle' fighting in GoW2?

They feel so lame :(

[GameOverRob]

Just completed Gears 2 on Insane! Way too much time is spent in vehicles, and that bored me I don't think I will be replaying the story. Only 4 Achievements to go; the rediculous Seriously 2.0, the one for winning 10 Guardian matches as leader, capturing 10 meatflags and Party like its 1999!
