With the next Gears of war there NEEDS to be an online beta. To make sure things like this doesn't happen.

lol, it's been nearly 3 weeks and nothing has been done about it. I don't think a beta would help if this is how long it takes for Epic to take action.

Here's a better idea: in the next game, get rid of the ****ing matchmaking and stick to a good old fashioned serverlist. That way you get the exact gametype you want, the right map, the right latency and everyone has a better time.

MM works pretty amazingly if it's done right. They should probably chat with Bungie about that one :p

So I'm thinking of ebaying COD4 (which I played campaign but never MP on) and Splinter Cell: DA (Which I just never played) and buying this, gears of War 2 game. A worthy swap?

Is it any good? I seem to remember there being a first one but havn't heard too much about it.

OMFG! GOTY material!

I can't remember the last time I was mesmorized by a game and wanted to keep playing just to know what else was there behind the bend! I couldn't help but remark to my brother as I played this that GOW2 resembles what Halo 3 could have been in terms of gameplay, pacing and pure epicness!

Played it on Hardcore my first go around, took about 10 hours, though not very hard at all. Now to play it back on regular or casual just to enjoy. Thank you CliffyB!

I still havent gotten to passed wave 28 of Hoarde :cry:

Whenever i get a good team together just randomly one or two people will leave and what was a promising game just turns to utter desperation just to keep myself and others alive!

Either that or i get put in a team that thinks they can win by running off in random directions all thinking they are a one man army!

Another sad day of Gears. I tried to get on a play with a friend and spent 30 minutes only getting to play two games. I should say play though, the first one was so laggy that all we did was hold B and randomly lagged around until we found somebody. The other team seemed to be getting along fine as they were maneuving all over the place while our whole team had lag issues. The second game I got to play was a little bit better but more of the same.

I just hate to keep complaining this much though because the singleplayer was so great I just expected to transition right into online easily. I just want to play against real people for practical experience but when I play 2-3 games in 45 minutes, it really doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Me too, looking back to Gears 1 I really liked being able to actually jump INTO a lobby and wait fro people to join. Taking that away was stupid. Now the system find a team and opponents for us. Brilliant! /sarcasm

2 more achievements to go. Seriously and Party Like It's 1999.

Yup they are the two achievements that I am missing as well, Party Like It's 1999 should come quite easily but I am not sure if I can be bothered with Seriously 2.0!

Actually over at the GOW2 forums they said that the ones having the most trouble are parties with only one member, or a group of 4 people.

If you have a group of 5 it'll be much quicker (because you're not having to search for team mates).

      WTF! Nah, not this one. If you were back then using computers in the 90s or you had a clue, you'd know this was huge and was seen and overused absolutely everywhere and you'd take this article as no more than a retrospective story. That's all it is.

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

      It’s not about the NOx. It’s about the electrical field.
